Effects of ferromagnetic branch structures on coercivity of alnico permanent magnets

The effects of various branches geometry and dimensions such as length, thickness, and width for H-, U-, O-, YH- and YU-shaped alnico structures on coercivity (Hci) using micromagnetic simulation for coherent rotation and curling modes are investigated. The simulation results suggest that the H-shap...

Description
Summary:The effects of various branches geometry and dimensions such as length, thickness, and width for H-, U-, O-, YH- and YU-shaped alnico structures on coercivity (Hci) using micromagnetic simulation for coherent rotation and curling modes are investigated. The simulation results suggest that the H-shaped structure needs long and short branch length for the coherent rotation and curling, respectively, regardless of branch thickness and width to realize high Hci. Short branch length with thin thickness and short width are recommended for both rotations for the U- and O-shaped structures. Lastly, both Y-shaped structures need branch with long length, thin thickness, and mid-long width for the coherent rotation, but short width for the YH-shaped and mid-long width for the YU-shaped regardless of length and thickness for curling are desired. Furthermore, among the five studied structures, H- or YH-shaped structure for coherent rotation and O-shaped structure for curling are highly recommended for fabrication to realize a high Hci.
