Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Electromagnetism is a vast domain that is naturally linked to most fields within physics and engineering. This is because electric and magnetic energy are amongst the primary properties of all elementary particles. All these make electromagnetism a universal phenomenon of nature. Electromagnetic energy is found everywhere, from the atomic micro-universe to the immeasurable cosmos. The complex atomic structure of various substances—consisting of an enormous number of atoms—leads to a virtually inexhaustible variety of their electromagnetic properties. The reciprocal connection between electric and magnetic phenomena allows us to use the study of material properties to determine the internal structure of both micro-particles and bodies of macroscopic dimensions. The universal nature of electromagnetism explains its wide range of uses in industry. First, based on the study of the material properties and electromagnetic energy of a substance, technical electric and magnetic materials can be created. These materials are crucial in all modern power energy systems: in electrical engineering, radio engineering, medicine, communication systems, wireless devices, and other branches of modern technology. Secondly, using the informational aspect of electromagnetic energy and by measuring material characteristics, detailed information about other physical properties of bodies can be acquired. This is useful especially for those bodies that are difficult to access by direct investigation. The information given by the electromagnetic energy measurements is the basis of methods widely used in technology, such as electro-magneto-structural analysis and non-destructive procedures—the most important methods for the quality control of industrial production.

This Special Issue aims to present and disseminate the most recent advances related to the analysis, modelling, application, and experimental methods of electromagnetic energy.

Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to:

  • The measurement, instrumentation and sensors of electromagnetic energy;

Is it possible to remotely operate a tiny piece of matter or a less-than-one-centimeter machine to perform a medical task in life? Especially given that in the present technology, neither the mechanism nor battery is small enough to be set up inside the structure of such a tiny machine. Yet, if the powered matter is magnetically responsive, then a magnetic field, as one of the potential power sources, can be applied to power it promisingly. Herein, the concept of electromechanical energy conversion is utilized through a specific configuration consisting of eight solenoids arranged together as a nest. The device converts electrical energy into an electromagnetic field, and finally, into mechanical energy, respectively, resulting in magnetic manipulation. Since electric energy is supplied to the configuration, eight solenoids generate the controllable magnetic field in both direction and magnitude by means of the superposition technique. The device can magnetically navigate tiny motorless matter to release mechanical energy through the 3D-controllable motion to arbitrary positions effectively and physical interactions with the surrounding environment as if operating a tiny machine. The experimental results report the feasibility of the device to control the 6-DOF locomotion of small matter precisely. The contribution of the concept based on this work leads to a promising protocol to remotely power small machines, micro-engines, micro-propellers, micro-turbines, etc. Full article

This paper introduces a novel waveguide intended for the spatial transfer of alternating magnetic fields. Instead of ferromagnetic material, an air core was proposed, while the cladding was realized using anisotropic metamaterial, built of the resonators and a paramagnetic composite. Since prior works regarding magnetic field transfer concentrated on static or high frequency fields, the proposed device complements the range of medium frequencies (several to hundreds of kilohertz). The three-dimensional model of the 50 cm long and 20 cm wide rectangular structure with metamaterial cladding was made in COMSOL and computed using the finite element method. Multi-turn inductors were considered and homogenized by the current sheet approximation, while an optimization solver was used to identify an optimal design of the waveguide. The analysis was made with respect to different resonators and permeability of the paramagnetic material. Additionally, the frequency response of the structure was determined. On these bases, the dependencies of the mean energy density and magnetic field intensity at the output of the waveguide were characterized. It was shown that discussed structure was able to provide an efficient transfer of the magnetic field between two ports. Thus, this device can be used to extend the distance of the wireless power transfer, especially between devices isolated by a thick barrier (e.g., wall), in which the meta-structure may be embodied.

Magnetic properties of hard magnets are currently attracting a great deal of attention. In the paper, the modified Harrison model was used to describe the saturating hysteresis loops of three praseodymium–dysprosium ribbons that differed in their chemical composition and processing conditions. Microstructural studies (TEM and diffraction patterns) were performed for the ribbons under consideration. The Harrison model incorporates a number of physically tangible concepts such as the anhysteretic curve, bifurcations, and bi-stability. The modification of the original approach consisted of adding an additional degree of freedom in the modeling by freeing the restraints present in the original version, in which both coercivity and remanence are functions of temperature only.

Considering the problem of passive interference caused by electromagnetic scattering effects of transmission lines to neighboring radio stations and other communication equipment, this paper refines the passive interference calculation model for UHV transmission lines. The solution calculation is carried out by the Method of Moments, and the law of passive interference effect of the tower structure, auxiliary angles, and ground roughness under different frequency incident waves, is summarized. By designing an orthogonal test, the degree of influence of the above attributing factors on passive interference results in the established joint model of three towers with two stall distances was explored by using Analysis of Variance. The results demonstrate that both auxiliary angles and rough ground show a pattern of enhanced electromagnetic scattering effect with increasing plane wave frequency in single-factor analysis. When multiple factors are combined, the rough ground has a significant effect on the results. This method effectively evaluates the passive interference influence factor while reducing the modeling and simulation engineering and provides a reference for the passive interference prediction in subsequent practical projects.
