Abstract:
The Jiles-Atherton (J-A) model is used to simulate the magnetization process in a gapped magnetic core. A test platform for investigating the magnetic properties of a gapped core is designed and constructed. The hysteresis curves of an amorphous alloy core are measured for different gap lengths. Simulated hysteresis curves based on the original and inverse J-A models are obtained and are compared with the measured curves. The simulation result based on the original J-A model is better than that based on the inverse J-A model. The applicability of a modified J-A model to gapped cores is analyzed. The influence of gap length on inductance is analyzed from the perspective of the magnetic circuit. The inductance is calculated based on the J-A model, and the results indicate that the J-A model has high accuracy in this application.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
