Magnetic Properties and Applications

Magnetic Properties and Applications is a research topic within Electronic, Optical and Magnetic Materials. Science Explorer counts 57k research works in it since 1950. 9.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the study of magnetostrictive properties, hysteresis modeling, and applications of magnetostrictive materials, particularly in Fe-Ga and Galfenol alloys. It also explores the impact of magnetostriction on core losses in electrical steels and transformer inrush currents. Additionally, it delves into the structural and magnetic behavior of these materials under various mechanical and thermal conditions.
