A 10 Kelvin 3 Tesla Magnet for Space Flight ADR Systems

Many future space flight missions are expected to use adiabatic demagnetization refrigerators (ADRs) to reach detector operating temperatures well below one Kelvin. The goal is to operate each ADR with a mechanical cooler as its heat sink, thus avoiding the use of liquid cryogens. Although mechanical coolers are being developed to operate at temperatures of 6 Kelvin and below, there is a large efficiency cost associated with operating them at the bottom of their temperature range. For the multi-stage ADR system being developed at Goddard Space Flight Center, the goal is to operate with a 10 Kelvin mechanical cooler heat sink. With currently available paramagnetic materials, the highest temperature ADR stage in such a system will require a magnetic field of approximately three Tesla. Thus the goal is to develop a small, lightweight three Tesla superconducting magnet for operation at 10 Kelvin. It is important that this magnet have a low current/field ratio. Because traditional NbTi magnets do not operate safely above about six Kelvin, a magnet with a higher Tc is required. The primary focus has been on Nb3Sn magnets. Since standard Nb3Sn wire must be coated with thick insulation, wound on a magnet mandrel and then reacted, standard Nb,Sn magnets are quite heavy and require high currents Superconducting Systems developed a Nb3Sn wire which can be drawn down to small diameter, reacted, coated with thin insulation and then wound on a small diameter coil form. By using this smaller wire and operating closer to the wire s critical current, it should be possible to reduce the mass and operating current of 10 Kelvin magnets. Using this "react-then-wind" technology, Superconducting Systems has produced prototype 10 Kelvin magnets. This paper describes the development and testing of these magnets and discusses the outlook for including 10 Kelvin magnets on space-flight missions.

Studies on the Magnetic Center of the Mu2e Solenoid System

The definition of the magnetic center in the Mu2e solenoid system is not trivial given the S-shaped nature of the transport solenoid. Moreover, due to the fringe field of the larger bore adjacent magnets-production solenoid and the detector solenoid-the magnetic center does not coincide with the geometric center of the system. The reference magnetic center can be obtained by tracking a low-momentum charged particle through the whole system. This paper will discuss this method and will evaluate the deviations from the nominal magnetic center given the tolerances in the manufacturing and the alignment of the coils. Methods for the correction of the magnetic center will also be presented.

Negative flat band magnetism in a spin–orbit-coupled correlated kagome magnet

Electronic systems with flat bands are predicted to be a fertile ground for hosting emergent phenomena including unconventional magnetism and superconductivity 1–15 , but materials that manifest this feature are rare. In this paper, we use scanning tunnelling microscopy to elucidate the atomically resolved electronic states and their magnetic response in the kagome magnet Co 3 Sn 2 S 2 (refs. 16–20 ). We observe a pronounced peak at the Fermi level, which we identify as arising from the kinetically frustrated kagome flat band. On increasing the magnetic field up to ±8 T, this state exhibits an anomalous magnetization-polarized many-body Zeeman shift, dominated by an orbital moment that is opposite to the field direction. Such negative magnetism is induced by spin–orbit-coupling quantum phase effects 21–25 tied to non-trivial flat band systems. We image the flat band peak, resolve the associated negative magnetism and provide its connection to the Berry curvature field, showing that Co 3 Sn 2 S 2 is a rare example of a kagome magnet where the low-energy physics can be dominated by the spin–orbit-coupled flat band.

Magnetic, transport and magnetoresistance behavior of Ni doped La{sub 0.67}Sr{sub 0.33}Mn{sub 1−x}Ni{sub x}O{sub 3} (0.00≤x≤0.09) system

The magnetic, electrical and magnetoresistance behavior of Ni doped La{sub 2/3}Sr{sub 1/3}Mn{sub 1−x}Ni{sub x}O{sub 3} (0.00≤x≤0.09) samples have been studied systematically. Rietveld analysis of XRD shows the formation of pure crystalline phase with rhombohedral symmetry. It has been found that with increasing Ni concentration, magnetization, resistivity, magnetoresistance (MR), Curie temperature (T{sub c}) and metal–insulator transition temperature of the samples changes drastically. Doping of Ni at Mn site shows an inverse behavior of %MR at 300 K and 77 K. Further study revealed that all samples show a low field magnetoresistance at low temperature (77 K) which found to increase with the increase of Ni doping. Further, X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS) confirms the ionic state of Ni to be Ni{sup 2+}. In the light of this study, we can say that Ni doped La{sub 0.67}Sr{sub 0.33}MnO{sub 3} can be synthesized with fine tuning of the dopant ion to bring down T{sub c} further for its application in Magnetic Hyperthermia. - Graphical abstract: The magnetic, electrical and magnetoresistance behavior of Nickel doped La{sub 2/3}Sr{sub 1/3}Mn{sub 1−x}Ni{sub x}O{sub 3} (0.00≤x≤0.09) samples have been studied systematically. Highlights: • Ni doped La{sub 2/3}Sr{sub 1/3}Mn{sub 1−x}Ni{sub x}O{sub 3} samples synthesized by solid state reaction route. • Studied the magnetic, electrical and magnetoresistance behavior of the samples. • T{sub c} of the samples decreases whereas resistivity increases with Ni doping. • Samples show excellent properties for magnetic Hyperthermia application.

Subsonic and supersonic static aerodynamic characteristics of a family of bulbous base cones measured with a magnetic suspension and balance system

Results of subsonic and supersonic wind-tunnel tests with a magnetic balance and suspension system on a family of bulbous based cone configurations are presented. At subsonic speeds the base flow and separation characteristics of these configurations is shown to have a pronounced effect on the static data. Results obtained with the presence of a dummy sting are compared with support interference free data. Support interference is shown to have a substantial effect on the measured aerodynamic coefficient.

Polarized {sup 3}He{sup −} ion source with hyperfine state selection

High beam polarization is essential to the scientific productivity of a collider. Polarized {sup 3}He ions are an essential part of the nuclear physics programs at existing and future ion-ion and electron-ion colliders such as BNL's RHIC and eRHIC and JLab's ELIC. Ion sources with performance exceeding that achieved today are a key requirement for the development of these next generation high-luminosity high-polarization colliders. The development of high-intensity high-brightness arc-discharge ion sources at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics (BINP) has opened up an opportunity for realization of a new type of a polarized {sup 3}He{sup −} ion source. This report discusses a polarized {sup 3}He{sup −} ion source based on the large difference of extra-electron auto-detachment lifetimes of the different {sup 3}He{sup −} ion hyperfine states. The highest momentum state of 5/2 has the largest lifetime of τ ∼ 350 µs while the lower momentum states have lifetimes of τ ~ 10 µs. By producing {sup 3}He{sup −} ion beam composed of only the |5/2, ±5/2> hyperfine states and then quenching one of the states by an RF resonant field, {sup 3}He{sup −} beam polarization of 90% can be achieved. Such a method of polarized {sup 3}He{sup −} production has been considered before; however, due to low intensities of the He{sup +} ion sources existing at that time, it was not possible to produce any interesting intensity of polarized {sup 3}He{sup −} ions. The high-brightness arc-discharge ion source developed at BINP can produce a high-brightness {sup 3}He{sup +} beam with an intensity of up to 2 A allowing for selection of up to ∼1-4 mA of {sup 3}He{sup −} ions with ∼90% polarization. The high gas efficiency of an arc-discharge source is important due to the high cost of {sup 3}He gas. Some features of such a PIS as well as prototype designs are considered. An integrated {sup 3}He{sup −} ion source design providing high beam polarization could be prepared using existing BNL equipment with incorporation of new designs of the 1) arc discharge plasma generator, 2) extraction system, 3) charge exchange jet, and 4) magnetic separation system.

Electromagnetic Modeling of Wind tunnel Magnetic Suspension and Balance Systems

An analytical framework for the open-loop behavior of a permanent magnet element levitated within an applied magnetic field are shown, in the context of application to wind tunnel Magnetic Suspension and Balance Systems (MSBS). Various modes of motion are identified, which correlate with observed behavior of the NASA/ODU 6-inch MSBS. This system is being developed as a technology demonstrator for dynamic stability testing of atmospheric entry capsules, with possible application to a supersonic wind tunnel. The analytic equations are populated with field information from experimental measurements and a finite element model. Finally, a system simulation can provide alternative estimates of system dynamic behavior via model linearization, with preliminary comparisons presented. Taken together, the analytical framework, experimental measurement, finite element analysis, and dynamic simulation provide a complete understanding of the characteristics and behavior of the MSBS.

A comparison of CMG steering laws for High Energy Astronomy Observatories (HEAOs)

A comparison of six selected control moment gyro steering laws for use on the HEAO spacecraft is reported. Basic equations are developed to project the momentum and torque of four skewed, single gimbal CMGs into vehicle coordinates. In response to the spacecraft attitude error signal, six algorithms are derived for controlling the CMG gimbal movements. HEAO performance data are obtained using each steering law and compared on the basis of such factors as accuracy, complexity, singularities, gyro hang-up and failure adaption. Moreover, each law is simulated with and without a magnetic momentum management system. The performance of any steering law is enhanced by the magnetic system. Without magnetics, the gimbal angles get large and there are significant differences in steering law performances due to cross coupling and nonlinearities. The performance of the pseudo inverse law is recommended for HEAO.

Computation of magnetic suspension of maglev systems using dynamic circuit theory

Dynamic circuit theory is applied to several magnetic suspensions associated with maglev systems. These suspension systems are the loop-shaped coil guideway, the figure-eight-shaped null-flux coil guideway, and the continuous sheet guideway. Mathematical models, which can be used for the development of computer codes, are provided for each of these suspension systems. The differences and similarities of the models in using dynamic circuit theory are discussed in the paper. The paper emphasizes the transient and dynamic analysis and computer simulation of maglev systems. In general, the method discussed here can be applied to many electrodynamic suspension system design concepts. It is also suited for the computation of the performance of maglev propulsion systems. Numerical examples are presented in the paper.

Competing magnetic phases in Li-Fe-Ge kagome systems

Competing interlayer magnetic interactions in kagome magnets can lead to diverse magnetic phases, which enable promising topological or quantum material properties. In this work, the electronic structure and magnetic properties are studied using first-principles calculations for the Li⁢Fe6⁢G⁡e6, Li⁢Fe6⁢G⁡e4, and Li⁢Fe6⁢G⁡e5 compounds sharing the kagome F⁡e3⁢Ge layer motif but with different interlayer arrangements. For Li⁢Fe6⁢G⁡e4 and Li⁢Fe6⁢G⁡e5, the predicted magnetic ground states are collinear antiferromagnetic (AFM) states involving a mix of ferromagnetic (FM) and AFM interlayer orientations. In contrast, for Li⁢Fe6⁢G⁡e6, an incommensurate cycloidal spin spiral ground state is stabilized, although its energy is close to a collinear A-type AFM state. The analysis of magnetic RKKY exchange coupling confirms the results of calculations. The values of atomic magnetic moments are in good agreement with existing experimental estimations. Our experiments on Li⁢Fe6⁢G⁡e6 single crystals reveals AFM ordering at ∼540 K and transition to another magnetic phase with a small FM component, possibly with spin canting, below ∼270 K.
