Exciting field

In order to realise such a high dynamic range, either a local compensation coil at the location of the SQUID [9] or a gradiometric excitation coil like the double-D coil have to be used. In case of the electronic compensation, the excitation field and the response of the conducting sample is compensated by a phase shifted current in an additional coil situated close to the SQUID-sensor. Due to the small size of this compensation coil (in our case, the diameter of the coil is about 1 mm), the test object is not affected by it. 

The geometric compensation by means of a gradiometric coil is realised by placing the SQUID exactly between the two halfs of the coil, in order to detect only the response of the sample. In both cases we could achieve a reduction of the excitation field at the location of the SQUID of up to 1000. Electronic and geometric compensation together leads to an improvement of six orders of magnitude in the dynamic range, compared to a system without excitation field compensation. 

Lew frequency Eddy current probing For frequencies below some 100 Hz the SQUID is coupled with a completely superconducting flux antenna. This antenna has to be within the cryogenic vessel. The Eddy current excitation is done in a conventional way. But care must be taken, that interference between the excitation field and the flux anteima and SQUID is... 

In order to maximize the excitation, precautions have to be taken to avoid cross-talk between excitation and signal. Therefore differential probes are commonly used with a SQUID system Nevertheless, for the discussed defects the SQUID system has a lower excitation field by a factor of about 100 compared with the commereial system This we must keep in mind, when we compare measured signal to noise ratios. There is a potential to improve for small defeets, when eross-talk is managed very well. 

The accuracy of the calculated solution is highly depending of realistic values for conductivity and permeability of the tube material. While the conductivity can be found in the literature for most materials, the right permeability is harder to determine. In the RFEC technique the exciter current and thus the exciter field strength is often to high to assume a... 

The method seirsibility depeird essentially on the poles force attraction which exists at the position of the defect. This attraction force depend on the value of the leakage field, so of the magnetic exciting field which has created them. 

Growth reactions at surfaces will certainly continue to be tlie focus of much research. In particular, the synthesis of novel materials is an exciting field that holds much promise for the nanoscale engineering of materials. Undoubtedly, the advent of STM as a means of investigating growth reactions on the atomic scale will influence the llitiire of nanoscale teclmology. 

The first temi results in Rayleigh scattering which is at the same frequency as the exciting radiation. The second temi describes Raman scattering. There will be scattered light at (Vq - and (Vq -i- v ), that is at sum and difference frequencies of the excitation field and the vibrational frequency. Since a. x is about a factor of 10 smaller than a, it is necessary to have a very efficient method for dispersing the scattered light. 

The excitation field is the only field seen by the magnetization m the rotating frame. The magnetization processes about it. Starting from equilibrium (Mq=MqM ), transverse components are created and develop according to... 

Finally, Sections B3.4.10. touches on the application of quantum molecular dynamics to a very exciting field laser interactions with molecules. This field presents, in principle, the opportunity to influence chemistry by lasers rather than to simply observe it. 

Another concept is brushless excitation, in which an ac generator (exciter) is direc tfy coupled to or mounted on the motor shaft. The ac exciter has a stator field and an ac rotor armature which is directly connected to a static controllable rectifier on the motor rotor (or a shaft-mounted drum). Static control elements (to sense synchronizing speed, phase angle, etc.) are also rotor-mounted, as is the field discharge resistor. Changing the exciter field adjusts the motor field current without the necessity of brushes or slip rings. Brushless excitation is suitable for use in hazardous atmospheres, where conventional brush-type motors must have protective brush and slip-ring enclosures. 

By changing the excitation (field current) The same situation would occur as noted above, if the excitation of C is increased from to E[. Then... 

Field failure relay (Relay Code 40) This monitors the exciter field current and detects the loss of field supply or reduction in the field current. 

The exciter is an AC generator with a stator-mounted field. Direct cur rent for the exciter field is provided from an external source, typically u small variable voltage rectifier mounted at the motor starter. Exciter oui put is converted to DC through a three-phase, full-wave, silicon-diode bridge rectifier. Thyristors (silicon-controlled rectifiers) switch the cur rent to the motor field and the motor-starting, field-discharge resistors These semiconductor elements are mounted on heat sinks and assembled on a drum bolted to the rotor or shaft. 

Elsevier Science and I, as Editor of the series, hope that these handbooks will receive a positive response from the sensor and actuator community and we expect that the series will be of great use to the many scientists and engineers working in this exciting field. 

The field orientation allows the excitation field, Blr of the sensor also to be oriented in the vertical direction parallel to the gradient. This differs from the situation in STRAFI. The advantage of the GARField layout is that a B1 excitation/ sensor coil can be made from a small surface winding below the sample, able to excite/sense a well defined central region of the sample away from edge effects. 

In the papers presented in the two days of the Munich Silicon Days, representatives from many lands describe what is new and what has been going on in the silicone industry. I join with Prof. Midler in commending these papers, now in book form, to the student and the practitioner in this new, very different, and very exciting field.
