The Soft Magnetic Materials Conference, commonly referred to as SMM, is an international conference devoted to all kinds of soft magnetic materials with the emphasis on industrial and applications aspects.

Contents

Format and purpose

The SMM is held for three days, every two years, often at the beginning of September in a European country. Each time the SMM has a different logo.

In SMM18 (organised by Wolfson Centre for Magnetics there were 260 participants from over 30 countries. There were 306 scientific papers presented, out of which around 200 are peer reviewed and will be published in Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, Elsevier at the beginning of 2008.

In the past the SMM proceedings have also been published in IEEE Transactions on Magnetics [1] or other peer reviewed journals. [2]

The SMM is the largest international conference devoted to soft magnetic materials. It has active participation of the academic world as well as of industry, with a high scientific level of contributed and invited communications. [3]

The main aim of the SMM is to bring together engineers and scientists from universities, research institutions and industry who are active in research, development and industrial applications of the materials. The programme of the conference includes invited lectures by academic and industrial experts, oral presentations and poster sessions for regular contributions.

Scope

Typical topics of the SMM are:

Dates and locations


Organising committees

The conference series has an International Organising Committee, chaired by I. Škorvánek of Košice, Slovakia. The previous chairs were J.M. Barandiaran, of Bilbao, Spain, Anthony J. Moses, of Cardiff, UK, Fausto Fiorillo, of Turin, Italy, and John E. Thompson who was the founder chair.

For each SMM there is a Local Organising Committee (academic and research members of staff of the local university), which is responsible for local arrangements, venue, technical programme, conference dinner, etc.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Magnet</span> Object that has a magnetic field

A magnet is a material or object that produces a magnetic field. This magnetic field is invisible but is responsible for the most notable property of a magnet: a force that pulls on other ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, steel, nickel, cobalt, etc. and attracts or repels other magnets.

The oersted is the coherent derived unit of the auxiliary magnetic field H in the centimetre–gram–second system of units (CGS). It is equivalent to 1 dyne per maxwell.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Coercivity</span> Resistance of a ferromagnetic material to demagnetization by an external magnetic field

Coercivity, also called the magnetic coercivity, coercive field or coercive force, is a measure of the ability of a ferromagnetic material to withstand an external magnetic field without becoming demagnetized. Coercivity is usually measured in oersted or ampere/meter units and is denoted HC.

A Halbach array is a special arrangement of permanent magnets that augments the magnetic field on one side of the array while cancelling the field to near zero on the other side. This is achieved by having a spatially rotating pattern of magnetisation.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Alnico</span> Family of iron alloys

Alnico is a family of iron alloys which in addition to iron are composed primarily of aluminium (Al), nickel (Ni), and cobalt (Co), hence the acronym al-ni-co. They also include copper, and sometimes titanium. Alnico alloys are ferromagnetic, and are used to make permanent magnets. Before the development of rare-earth magnets in the 1970s, they were the strongest type of permanent magnet. Other trade names for alloys in this family are: Alni, Alcomax, Hycomax, Columax, and Ticonal.

Galileo Ferraris was an Italian university professor, physicist and electrical engineer, one of the pioneers of AC power system and inventor of the induction motor although he never patented his work. Many newspapers touted that his work on the induction motor and power transmission systems were some of the greatest inventions of all ages. He published an extensive and complete monograph on the experimental results obtained with open-circuit transformers of the type designed by the power engineers Lucien Gaulard and John Dixon Gibbs.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Ferrite (magnet)</span> Ferrimagnetic ceramic material composed of rust and a metallic element

A ferrite is a ceramic material made by mixing and firing iron(III) oxide with one or more additional metallic elements, such as strontium, barium, manganese, nickel, and zinc. They are ferrimagnetic, meaning they are attracted by magnetic fields and can be magnetized to become permanent magnets. Unlike other ferromagnetic materials, most ferrites are not electrically conductive, making them useful in applications like magnetic cores for transformers to suppress eddy currents. Ferrites can be divided into two families based on their resistance to being demagnetized.
