Research Instrumentation for Investigating Advanced Magnetic Materials for Aircraft Power Applications

Abstract

A laser speckle interferometer has been purchased with DURIP funds (F49620-98-1-0185) and supported by AASERT funding to the MURI program entitled: "Advanced Magnetic Materials for Aircraft Power Applications" (F49620-96-1-0454). This instrument has been used to measure magnetic domain patterns in Fe-Si and NiMnGa alloys. It has been integrated with a laboratory electromagnet and an automated computer control program. It is currently being used in the thesis project of Mark Storch to measure components of the magnetostriction tensor for FeCo alloys.
