System and method for measuring fluid properties using magnetic field techniques via magnetic tracer
A method and apparatus for determining a property of a fluid in a vessel. The method uses magnetic tracer particles and an externally applied magnetic field which orients the particles. When the fluid moves, it changes the orientation of the tracer particles, thus changing the magnetic fields. These changes are detected by external magnetic field sensors. By using mathematical models, the property of the fluid in the vessel is determined from the detected magnetic field. In this manner, fluid vorticity, velocity, strain and stress may be estimated.

Iron nitride permanent magnet and technique for forming iron nitride permanent magnet
A bulk permanent magnetic material may include between about 5 volume percent and about 40 volume percent Fe16N2 phase domains, a plurality of nonmagnetic atoms or molecules forming domain wall pinning sites, and a balance soft magnetic material, wherein at least some of the soft magnetic material is magnetically coupled to the Fe16N2 phase domains via exchange spring coupling. In some examples, a bulk permanent magnetic material may be formed by implanting N+ ions in an iron workpiece using ion implantation to form an iron nitride workpiece, pre-annealing the iron nitride workpiece to attach the iron nitride workpiece to a substrate, and post-annealing the iron nitride workpiece to form Fe16N2 phase domains within the iron nitride workpiece.

Magnetic suspension techniques for large scale aerodynamic testing
The potential utility of magnetic suspension techniques is discussed in the context of current efforts towards realistic aerodynamic simulation in wind tunnels. Design parameters are defined and problems of constructing large size facilities identified. A three stage strategy towards realizing a truly large scale magnetic suspension and balance with full research capability is outlined. Stage one, consisting of building and testing a prototype superconductor coil system to establish the feasibility of the concept has been completed successfully and its principal results are briefly described. This proven feasibility of using superconductors for magnetic suspensions, together with the successful demonstration of the cryogenic wind tunnel concept, appear to have opened the way to clean tunnel, high-Re aerodynamic testing. Results of a comparative analysis of scaling of several coil technologies for a specific magnetic suspension configuration, from the prototype size to a size compatible with the projected high Reynolds number cryogenic wind tunnel facility, are discussed in some detail.

Experimental feasibility study of the application of magnetic suspension techniques to large-scale aerodynamic test facilities
Based on the premises that magnetic suspension techniques can play a useful role in large scale aerodynamic testing, and that superconductor technology offers the only practical hope for building large scale magnetic suspensions, an all-superconductor 3-component magnetic suspension and balance facility was built as a prototype and tested sucessfully. Quantitative extrapolations of design and performance characteristics of this prototype system to larger systems compatible with existing and planned high Reynolds number facilities at Langley Research Center were made and show that this experimental technique should be particularly attractive when used in conjunction with large cryogenic wind tunnels.

Comparison of Dynamic Stability Testing Techniques with Magnetic Suspension Wind Tunnel
Dynamic stability testing techniques currently utilized at NASA Langley Research Center (LaRC) are conducted in multiple facilities and consists of free flight, forced oscillation, and free-to-oscillate tests. The MIT/NASA/ODU Magnetic Suspension and Balance System (MSBS) has been recommissioned to explore its utility as an additional facility to expand the dynamic stability test capabilities currently available at NASA LaRC. Simulations were created to replicate each current test facility and method as closely as possible. Data collected from the simulated environments was corrupted with replicated noise sources of the different testing environments and then compared to real data collected during tests when such data was available. The corrupted data was then passed through data reduction and System Identification (SID) to estimate the accuracy of the results with the known aerodynamic model that was utilized within the simulation to generate the original data. Magnitudes of noise were varied utilizing Monte Carlo analysis to perform sensitivity analysis of each noise source on the extracted dynamic stability coefficients. Some preliminary results will be presented.

First measurement of traverse beam optics for the Fermilab Muon Campus using a magnet scanning technique
In the following years the Fermilab Muon Campus will deliver highly polarized muon beams to the storage ring of the Muon g-2 Experiment. The transmission fraction of the storage ring has been shown to depend strongly on the transverse optics of the injected beam. Unfortunately, the current diagnostics in the Muon Campus allow only measurement of the beam configuration space which limits how well propagation can be predicted. This work demonstrates an experimental technique based on a conventional magnet scan to obtain the Twiss parameters at a point, using only beam profiles such that installation of new equipment is not required. A proof-of-principle experiment is presented which shows that this new method is applicable to the Muon Campus, offering a viable approach to optimization of injection in the Muon g-2 Experiment.

Atomic-Scale Characterization of Dilute Dopants in Topological Insulators via STEM–EDS Using Registration and Cell Averaging Techniques
Magnetic dopants in three-dimensional topological insulators (TIs) offer a promising avenue for realizing the quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) without the necessity for an external magnetic field. Understanding the relationship between site occupancy of magnetic dopant elements and their effect on macroscopic property is crucial for controlling the QAHE. By combining atomic-scale energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) maps obtained by aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy (AC-STEM) and novel data processing methodologies, including semi-automatic lattice averaging and frame registration, we have determined the substitutional sites of Mn atoms within the 1.2% Mn-doped Sb 2 Te 3 crystal. More importantly, the methodology developed in this study extends beyond Mn-doped Sb 2 Te 3 to other quantum materials, traditional semiconductors, and even electron irradiation sensitive materials.
