Permanent magnet motors have been considered for a variety of applications due to their features such as high power density and high efficiency. One of the issues that should be investigated in the design of these motors is the demagnetization problem. Usually, the demagnetization analysis is carried out in a steady state, while demagnetization effect in dynamic condition is more considerable d...

The relationship of permanent magnetic material characteristic parameters was analyzed, and a simulation method of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) rotor demagnetization fault was put forward. Based on this, a simulation model of the PMSM under partial demagnetization and uniform demagnetization fault were established, and different degrees demagnetization fault was simulated. Relati...

Ultrafast demagnetization of ferromagnetic metals can be achieved by a heat pulse propagating in the electron gas of a non-magnetic metal layer, which absorbs a pump laser pulse. Demagnetization by electronic heating is investigated on samples with different thicknesses of the absorber layer on nickel. This allows us to separate the contribution of thermalized hot electrons compared to non-ther...

The laser-induced femtosecond demagnetization in ferromagnetic metals is investigated theoretically. Different from the conventional nanosecond one, this ultrafast demagnetization is a cooperative effect of the external laser field and the internal spin-orbit coupling. The spin-orbit coupling smears out the original identities of triplets and singlets while the laser field uses it as an avenue ...

The laser-induced demagnetization of a ferromagnet is caused by the temperature of the electron gas as well as the lattice temperature. For long excitation pulses, the two reservoirs are in thermal equilibrium. In contrast to a picosecond laser pulse, a femtosecond pulse causes a non-equilibrium between the electron gas and the lattice. By pump pulse length dependent optical measurements, we fi...

To prevent irreversible demagnetization of a permanent magnet (PM) for interior permanent magnet synchronous motors (IPMSMs) by flux-weakening control, a robust PM flux-linkage nonsingular fast terminal-sliding-mode observer (NFTSMO) is proposed to detect demagnetization faults. First, the IPMSM mathematical model of demagnetization is presented. Second, the construction of the NFTSMO to estima...

We report ab initio simulations of the quantum dynamics of electronic charge and spins when subjected to intense laser pulses. By performing these purely electron-dynamics calculations for a thin film and for the bulk of Ni, we conclude that formation of surfaces has a dramatic influence of amplifying the laser induced demagnetization. The reason for this amplification is enhanced spin-currents...

The laser-induced ultrafast demagnetization of CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB magnetic tunneling junction is exploited by time-resolved magneto-optical Kerr effect (TRMOKE) for both the parallel state (P state) and the antiparallel state (AP state) of the magnetizations between two magnetic layers. It was observed that the demagnetization time is shorter and the magnitude of demagnetization is larger in the A...

Generaly in the study of magnetism, and specifically for micromagnetics simulations, one needs to know the magnetic field ~ HM inside a macroscopic magnet, that is caused by the magnetization ~ M (the dipole moment per unit volume) of that magnet itself. Some aspects of how that demagnetization field can be found are discussed. There are two basic cases: (1) The demagnetization field ~ HM insid...

We investigate a recent controversy in ultrafast magnetization dynamics by comparing the demagnetization rates from two frequently used but competing descriptions for finite temperature magnetism, namely a rigid band structure Stoner-like approach and a system of localized spins. The calculations on the localized spin system show a demagnetization rate and time comparable to experimentally obta...
