Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Quantum precision measurement technology, as a disruptive innovation, surpasses the measurement limits of traditional methods and holds significant scientific and strategic value. The rapid advancements in quantum precision measurement have created new opportunities for generational leaps in weak measurement, inertial measurement, gravity, and time measurement. Under ideal conditions without external interference, the ultimate sensitivity of various parameters is solely determined by quantum noise. However, in practical measurements, electromagnetic noise imposes limitations, preventing the realization of ultra-high sensitivity. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop novel soft magnetic materials and breakthrough electromagnetic shielding technologies to support the advancement of quantum technologies and their critical roles in scientific research, industrial production, national defense, and societal applications.

This Special Issue on "Functional Soft Magnetic Materials and Electromagnetic Shielding Technology" aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current knowledge and implementation levels of electromagnetic shielding materials and applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, composite materials, wave-absorbing materials, ferrite materials, amorphous and nanocrystalline materials, permalloy materials, electromagnetic shielding design, magnetic field regulation, magnetic shielding applications, demagnetization methods for shielding, shielding effectiveness, and theoretical modeling of magnetic noise.

Cobalt-based metallic glasses have sparked intensive attention because of their extraordinary properties. In this work, a series of Co66Fe4Mo2-xTaxSi16B12 (x = 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0) metallic glass ribbons were systematically designed to investigate the influence of the minor Ta substitution for Mo on the thermal behavior and magnetic performance. The results reveal that the width of the supercooled liquid region initially increases with Ta content, reaching 98 K at x = 1.0, and subsequently decreases with further Ta addition. It indicates that the Co66Fe4Mo1.0Ta1.0Si16B12 alloy has the optimal glass-forming ability. Moreover, the crystallization onset temperature and crystallization peak temperature of all as-quenched ribbons were improved with the Ta content x increasing to 2.0, which is due to the higher melting temperature of the element Ta (3290 K). In addition, these ribbons exhibit outstanding soft magnetic properties, including ultralow coercivity (Hc < 1.1 A/m) and moderate saturation magnetization, which indicates that these ribbons are suitable for magnetic shielding. These results offer valuable insights into the design of soft magnetic metallic glass. Full article

The current transformer (CT)-based energy harvesting method has gained considerable attention for low-power devices. Accurate estimation of the B-H curve is essential to develop a high-performance CT, as it closely relates to the electromagnetic behavior of CT material. However, the existing estimation methods for the B-H curve face several drawbacks, which include process complexity and a high cost. This study presented an intuitive method to estimate the B-H curve based on the experimentally obtained resistance-voltage data. The performance of the CT core is obtained based on the estimated B-H curve, which exhibited an error of only 2.6% when compared to the experimental results for the most accurate case. Additionally, we analyzed split-core performance deterioration caused by the presence of an air gap. The air gap formation of the split core was closely related to the surface roughness, which significantly influenced core performance. The air gap range that minimizes the reduction in performance is predicted and validated through simulations and experiments. This research highlights a straightforward approach to obtaining the B-H curve of magnetic CT core material. We believe that this study provides the design guidelines needed to develop a high-performance CT core, including considerations for core geometry and the recommended air gap range. Full article
