Carlos R. Villa October 24, 2008 FAST Conference
NHMFL Overview • One Of Three National Labs In The Southeast U.S. • One Of Nine High Magnetic Field Labs In The World • Only One In Western Hemisphere • Largest And Highest Powered In The World
NHMFL Overview • User Laboratory • Over 800 User Visits (2005) • NSF Funded • Research Free To Scientist • Research In Many Fields (Not Just Magnets!!) • Biology, Chemistry, Biomedical, Geology, Engineering, Geochemistry, Materials Science, Physics, Microscopy…
Gauss • Measurement Of Magnetic Field • Named For Carl Friedrich Gauss • Tesla • Measurement Of Larger Magnetic Fields • Named For Nikola Tesla • 10,000 Gauss = 1 Tesla
Refrigerator Magnet: .03 T • Earth’s Magnetic Field: .000045 T • Person’s Magnetic Field: 3 x10-13 T • Junkyard Magnet: 1 T • MRI Magnet: 2-3 T
NHMFL ICR Magnet: 9.4 T • Ionic Cyclotron Resonance • NHMFL 900 Mhz: 21 T • Nuclear Magnetic Resonance • NHMFL Resistive Magnet: 20-35 T • NHMFL Hybrid Magnet: 45 T • Resistive And Superconducting • NHMFL Pulse Magnet: 65 T • Not Continuous Field
Not All Metals Are Magnetic • 3 Are Naturally Magnetic • Iron • Nickel • Cobalt • Exceptions To The Rule • Gadolinium (Must Be Frozen)
Fe(II)Fe(III)2O4 • Naturally Magnetic Igneous Rock • Usually found in marine sands and deserts • Largest US deposit in NY (Adirondacks) • Lodestone Found In Arkansas • Different Crystalline Structure
Electron Configuration • Normally Scattered • Magnetic Domains • In Magnets: Lined Up • Whenever You Get Electrons All Pointing The Same Direction, A Magnetic Field Is Produced Around That Item
Electrons Are Naturally Aligned Pointing The Same Direction • Field Will Stay Until Destroyed • Curie Point • Electric Current • Degaussing • Bang It • Examples: Refrigerator Magnets, Bar Magnets, Magnetite, Horseshoe Magnets, Hematite, Buzz Stones, etc…
Electrons Are Temporarily Aligned • Will Keep Magnetic Field Until Tampered • Examples: • Paperclips, Scissors, Staples, Thumb Tacks, Push Pins, Screwdrivers, Refrigerator, Car Doors, etc… • Anything that is magnetic, but will not keep its field
Field Viewers • Box Photo Frames • Iron Filings • Use With Paper • Clean-up Can Be A Mess
One Bar Magnet • As Many Compasses As You Can Gather
Magnetize An Item • Allow It To Float • Must Turn Freely • Needle • Petri Dish • Coffee Stirrer • Water • Permanent Magnet
The Two Are So Closely Related • Where There Is Electricity, There Is A Magnetic Field • Where There Is A Magnetic Field, Electricity Can Be Created
Electricity Is The Movement Of Electrons • Electrons Flow In One Direction • This Alignment Of Electrons Creates A Magnetic Field • Similar To Electrons Lining Up In A Permanent Magnet • So Every Wire Carrying Electricity Has A Weak Magnetic Field Around It (Try It) • Coiling The Wire Concentrates The Magnetic Field Inside The Coil
Materials • Copper Wire • Iron Rod • Battery • Extensions: • 2 Batteries • In Line? • Aluminum, Wooden Rod • Will They Work?
Right Hand Rule • Direction Of Field • Poles (Winding Direction) • Use Magnaprobe • Variables: • Neatness • Number Of Winds • Wire Gauge • Battery Strength • Temperature
Iron In Cereal • Total • Baby Food • Need A Strong Magnet • Neodymium
A Special Solution Of Magnetic Particles In A Colloidal Suspension Whose Flow Can Be Controlled By Magnets Or Magnetic Fields. Ferrofluids
Ferrofluids • Make Your Own: • Oil, Petri Dish, Magnet • Please Be Careful • Iron Filings: • Education Innovations • Post Apple Scientific • Actual Ferrofluids Available: • Carolina Biological • Educational Innovations
When an emf is generated by a change in magnetic flux according to Faraday's Law, the polarity of the induced emf is such that it produces a current whose magnetic field opposes the change which produces it.
Changing Magnetic Flux Produces An Induced Electric Field • Copper Tube, Neodymium Magnet
Superconductors Exhibit Two Distinct Properties • Zero Resistance • Perfect Diamagnetism
Diamagnetic Behavior Is Limited • YBCO Works Well • Kit Available From Colorado Superconductor Inc.
