چکیده

ABSTRACT A 3-axis magnetometer has been constructed using 3 Spin Dependent Tunneling (SDT) magnetic field sensors as transducers. This magnetometer has been designed for use in low frequency applications such as vehicle detection, security, and Unattended Ground Sensor (UGS). As such, there has been an emphasis on low cost, size, and power. The present version is smaller than previous versions, uses a common software interface, and is ready for prototype sampling. This paper describes the basic properties of the SDT 3-axis magnetometer, including size, power, and noise floor.

Magnetic Calibration of Three-Axis Strapdown Magnetometers for Applications in Mems Attitude-Heading Reference Systems

In a strapdown magnetic compass, heading angle is estimated using the Earth's magnetic field measured by Three-Axis Magnetometers (TAM). However, due to several inevitable errors in the magnetic system, such as sensitivity errors, non-orthogonal and misalignment errors, hard iron and soft iron errors, measurement noises and local magnetic fields, there are large error between the magnetometers'...

Spin-dependent transport through interacting graphene armchair nanoribbons

We investigate spin effects in transport across fully interacting, finite size graphene armchair nanoribbons (ACNs) contacted to collinearly spin-polarized leads. In such systems, the presence of short ranged Coulomb interaction between bulk states and states localized at the ribbon ends leads to novel spin-dependent phenomena. Specifically, the total spin of the low energy many-body states is ...

Magnetic properties of a mixed spin - 1 / 2 and spin - 3 / 2 Ising model with an uniaxial and biaxial crystal - field potential 1

Magnetic properties of a mixed spin-1/2 and spin-3/2 Ising model on honeycomb lattice are investigated within the framework of an exact star-triangle mapping transformation. The particular attention is focused on the effect of uniaxial and biaxial crystal-field potentials that basically influence a magnetic behavior of the spin-3/2 atoms. Our results for basic thermodynamic quantities as well a...
