In multilayer systems, extrinsic interfacial scattering, along with scattering from defects or impurities inside the materials, plays a crucial role in affecting the SOT efficiency. In this study, we successfully fabricated high-quality epitaxially grown [Ir/Pt]N superlattices with an increasing number of interfaces using a magnetron sputtering system to investigate the contribution of extrinsic interfacial scattering to SOT efficiency. We measured SOT efficiency through spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance methods and determined the spin Hall angle using the spin pumping technique. Additionally, we calculated spin transparency based on the SOT efficiency and spin Hall angle. Our findings indicate that the values of SOT efficiency, spin Hall angle, and spin transparency are enhanced in the superlattice structure compared to Pt, which we attribute to the increase in interfacial scattering.This research offers an effective strategy for designing and fabricating advanced spintronic devices.展开更多

However, the systematization of the phenomenon is still pending, so we made an attempt to fill this gap in the previous parts of our study by elaborating formulas for calculation of parasitic torques. It was a general demand among those who work in this field towards the author to verify his formulas with measurements. In the literature, it seems,only one detailed, purposeful series of measurements has been published so far, the purpose of which was to investigate the effect of the number of rotor slots on the torque-speed characteristic curve of the machine. The main goal of this study is to verify the correctness of the formulas by comparing them with the referred series of measurements. Relying on this, the expected synchronous parasitic torques were developed for the frequently used rotor slot numbers-as a design guide for the engineer.Thus, together with our complete table for radial magnetic pull published in our previous work, the designer has all the principles, data and formulas available for the right number of rotor slots for his given machine and for the drive system. This brings this series of papers to an end.展开更多

文摘We predict high-velocity magnetic domain wall(DW)motion driven by out-of-plane acoustic spin in surface acoustic waves(SAWs).We demonstrate that the SAW propagating at a 30-degree angle relative to the x-axis of a 128∘Y-LiNbO_(3) substrate exhibits uniform out-of-plane spin angular momentum.This acoustic spin triggers the DW motion at a velocity exceeding 50 m/s in a way that is similar to the spin-transfer-torque effect.This phenomenon highlights the potential of acoustic spin in enabling rapid DW displacement,offering an innovative approach to developing energy-efficient spintronic devices.

文摘Interlayer exchange coupling(IEC)plays a critical role in spin-orbit torque(SOT)switching in synthetic magnets.This work establishes a fundamental correlation between IEC and SOT dynamics within Co/Pt-based synthetic antiferromagnets and synthetic ferromagnets.The antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic coupling states are precisely engineered through Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida(RKKY)interactions by modulating the Ir spacer thickness.Experimental results reveal that the critical switching current density exhibits a strong positive correlation with the IEC strength,regardless of the coupling type.A comprehensive theoretical framework based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation elucidates how IEC contributes to the effective energy barrier that must be overcome during SOT-induced magnetization switching.Significantly,the antiferromagnetically coupled samples demonstrate enhanced SOT efficiency,with the spin Hall angle being directly proportional to the antiferromagnetic exchange coupling field.These insights establish a coherent physical paradigm for understanding IEC-dependent SOT dynamics and provide strategic design principles for the development of energy-efficient next-generation spintronic devices.

文摘Toroidal torques,generated by the resonant magnetic perturbation(RMP)and acting on the plasma column,are numerically systematically investigated for an ITER baseline scenario.The neoclassical toroidal viscosity(NTV),in particular the resonant portion,is found to provide the dominant contribution to the total toroidal torque under the slow plasma flow regime in ITER.While the electromagnetic torque always opposes the plasma flow,the toroidal torque associated with the Reynolds stress enhances the plasma flow independent of the flow direction.A peculiar double-peak structure for the net NTV torque is robustly computed for ITER,as the toroidal rotation frequency is scanned near the zero value.This structure is found to be ultimately due to a non-monotonic behavior of the wave-particle resonance integral(over the particle pitch angle)in the superbanana plateau NTV regime in ITER.These findings are qualitatively insensitive to variations of a range of factors including the wall resistivity,the plasma pedestal flow and the assumed frequency of the rotating RMP field.
文摘The harmonics that appear in the squirrel cage asynchronous machine have been discussed in great detail in the literature for a long time. However, the systematization of the phenomenon is still pending, so we made an attempt to fill this gap in the previous parts of our study by elaborating formulas for calculation of parasitic torques. It was a general demand among those who work in this field towards the author to verify his formulas with measurements. In the literature, it seems,only one detailed, purposeful series of measurements has been published so far, the purpose of which was to investigate the effect of the number of rotor slots on the torque-speed characteristic curve of the machine. The main goal of this study is to verify the correctness of the formulas by comparing them with the referred series of measurements. Relying on this, the expected synchronous parasitic torques were developed for the frequently used rotor slot numbers-as a design guide for the engineer.Thus, together with our complete table for radial magnetic pull published in our previous work, the designer has all the principles, data and formulas available for the right number of rotor slots for his given machine and for the drive system. This brings this series of papers to an end.

文摘Antiferromagnet(AFM)/ferromagnet(FM)heterostructure is a popular system for studying the spin–orbit torque(SOT)of AFMs.However,the interfacial exchange bias field induces that the magnetization in FM layer is noncollinear to the external magnetic field,namely the magnetic moment drag effect,which further influences the characteristic of SOT efficiency.In this work,we study the SOT efficiencies of IrMn/NiFe bilayers with strong interfacial exchange bias by using spin-torque ferromagnetic resonance(ST-FMR)method.A full analysis on the AFM/FM systems with exchange bias is performed,and the angular dependence of magnetization on external magnetic field is determined through the minimum rule of free energy.The ST-FMR results can be well fitted by this model.We obtained the relative accurate SOT efficiencyξ_(DL)=0.058 for the IrMn film.This work provides a useful method to analyze the angular dependence of ST-FMR results and facilitates the accurate measurement of SOT efficiency for the AFM/FM heterostructures with strong exchange bias.
文摘The meaning of each part of the screw-on curve,the definition of shoulder torque,and the common characteristics of the screw-on curve are introduced.Moreover,the principle and shortcomings of the commonly used method of curve curvature radius are discussed.A new method of sealing surface deformation is proposed based on the requirements of shoulder torque recognition.The calculation method and principle of PW value are elucidated and the advantages of this method are summarized.The proposed method considers the difference value of tightening torque and calculates the elastic deformation of the sealing surface,accurately reflecting the state of the thread compound and the correlation between torque change and elastic deformation of the sealing surface after compression.

文摘Based on the three-dimensional elastic-plastic finite element analysis of the 8"(203.2 mm)drill collar joint,this paper studies the mechanical characteristics of the pin and box of NC56 drill collar joints under complex load conditions,as well as the downhole secondary makeup features,and calculates the downhole equivalent impact torque with the relative offset at the shoulder of internal and external threads.On the basis of verifying the correctness of the calculation results by using measured results in Well GT1,the prediction model of the downhole equivalent impact torque is formed and applied in the first extra-deep well with a depth over 10000 m in China(Well SDTK1).The results indicate that under complex loads,the stress distribution in drill collar joints is uneven,with relatively higher von Mises stress at the shoulder and the threads close to the shoulder.For 203.2 mm drill collar joints pre-tightened according to the make-up torque recommended by American Petroleum Institute standards,when the downhole equivalent impact torque exceeds 65 kN·m,the preload balance of the joint is disrupted,leading to secondary make-up of the joint.As the downhole equivalent impact torque increases,the relative offset at the shoulder of internal and external threads increases.The calculation results reveal that there exists significant downhole impact torque in Well SDTK1 with complex loading environment.It is necessary to use double shoulder collar joints to improve the impact torque resistance of the joint or optimize the operating parameters to reduce the downhole impact torque,and effectively prevent drilling tool failure.

文摘This paper,evaluate the effectiveness of a proposed speed loop pseudo derivative feedforward(PDFF)controller-based direct torque controller(DTC)for a PMSM drive against the performance of existing PI speed controller-based DTC and hysteresis current controller(HCC).The proposed PDFF-based speed regulator effectively reduces oscillation and overshoot associated with rotor angular speed,electromagnetic torque,and stator current.Two case studies,one using forward-to-reverse motoring operation and the other involving reverse-to-forward braking operation,has been validated to show the effectiveness of the proposed control strategy.The proposed controller's superior performance is demonstrated through experimental verification utilizing an FPGA controller for a 1.5 kW PMSM drive laboratory prototype.

文摘Field-free spin-orbit torque(SOT)switching of perpendicular magnetization is essential for future spintronic devices.This study demonstrates the field-free switching of perpendicular magnetization in an HfO_(2)/Pt/Co/TaO_(x) structure,which is facilitated by a wedge-shaped HfO_(2)buffer layer.The field-free switching ratio varies with HfO_(2)thickness,reaching optimal performance at 25 nm.This phenomenon is attributed to the lateral anisotropy gradient of the Co layer,which is induced by the wedge-shaped HfO_(2)buffer layer.The thickness gradient of HfO_(2)along the wedge creates a corresponding lateral anisotropy gradient in the Co layer,correlating with the switching ratio.These findings indicate that field-free SOT switching can be achieved through designing buffer layer,offering a novel approach to innovating spin-orbit device.

文摘Vector-controlled AC motor drives utilize pulse width modulation(PWM)to synthesize the desired output voltage of the voltage source inverter(VSI).In space vector PWM(SVPWM)techniques,the average realization of the space vector applying the volt-sec balance principle results in an instantaneous error voltage that generates high frequency torque ripple.It may lead to an increase in motor vibration and acoustic noise.This article presents a high frequency torque ripple prediction model based on stator flux ripple and proposes a targeted designed variable switching frequency PWM(VSFPWM)strategy to diminish high frequency torque ripple.The switching frequency is dynamically adjusted according to the peak value of the predicted stator flux ripple to mitigate high frequency torque ripple.In contrast to existing strategies,the strategy outlined in this article directly suppresses high frequency torque ripple,thus remaining unaffected by inaccurate motor parameters.Additionally,due to the introduction of the power factor angle,the proposed strategy can better adapt to the full speed range operating conditions of the motor.Detailed simulations and experiments are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy.

文摘In rehabilitation training,it is crucial to consider the compatibility between exoskeletons and human legs in motion.However,most exoskeletons today adopt an anthropomorphic serial structure,which results in rotational centers that are not precisely aligned with the center of the hip joint.To address this issue,we introduce a novel exoskeleton called the Parallel Hip Exoskeleton(PH-Exo)in this paper.PH-Exo is meticulously designed based on the anisotropic law of output torque.Considering the friction of the drive components,a dynamic model of the human-machine complex is established.Simulation analysis demonstrates that PH-Exo not only exhibits outstanding torque performance but also achieves high controllability in both flexion/extension and adduction/abduction directions.Additionally,a robust controller is designed to address model uncertainty,friction,and external interference.Wearing experiments indicate that under the control of the robust controller,each motor achieves excellent tracking performance.
