Torus CLAS12-Superconducting Magnet Quench Analysis
The JLAB Torus magnet system consists of six superconducting trapezoidal racetrack-type coils assembled in a toroidal configuration. These coils are wound with SSC-36 Nb-Ti superconductor and have the peak magnetic field of 3.6 T. The first coil manufacturing based on the JLAB design began at FNAL. The large magnet system dimensions (8 m diameter and 14 MJ of stored energy) dictate the need for quench protection. Each coil is placed in an aluminum case mounted inside a cryostat and cooled by 4.6 K supercritical helium gas flowing through a copper tube attached to the coil ID. The large coil dimensions and small cryostat thickness drove the design to challenging technical solutions, suggesting that Lorentz forces due to transport currents and eddy currents during quench and various failure scenarios are analyzed. The paper covers the magnet system quench analysis using the OPERA3d Quench code.

Magnetic properties of Lutetium and Yttrium doped Ce 2 Fe 14 B magnets
The increasing demand for Nd-Dy and Sm-Co based permanent magnets is exacerbating the current critical materials shortage, therefore improving and optimizing current candidate critical element free permanent magnets is necessary to develop future clean energy technologies. In this work, we aim to increase the thermal stability and magnetic performance of Ce 2 Fe 14 B based permanent magnets through the substitution of Ce ions with noncritical rare earth elements Lu and Y. The substitution of Lu (x=0; 0.05; 0.1; 0.15) for Ce ions in (LuxCe 2-x )Fe 14 B was unsuccessful, likely due to disparities in ionic size and valencies, and failed to exhibit improved thermal stability or magnetic performance. In contrast, Y substitution for Ce ions in (Y x Ce 2-x )Fe14B (x= 0.1; 0.2; 0.3; 0.4; 0.5) alloys was successful. Notably, these alloys demonstrated enhanced thermal stability, as evidenced by an increase in the Curie temperature, reaching a peak of 443 K at x= 0.5. Y substitution also helped to suppress the CeFe2 Laves phase. Without loss of the anisotropy field Y substitution increased the saturation magnetization, MS, peaking at MS = 125 emu/g for a Y concentration of x= 0:4, demonstrating (Y 0.4 Ce 1.6 )Fe 14 B as a potential critical element free permanent magnet with an energy product as high as 29 MGOe. This work is advantageous in developing low cost high performance permanent magnets with reduced or little to no critical rare earth elements.

Structure and magnetism in novel group IV element-based magnetic materials
The project is to investigate structure, magnetism and spin dependent states of novel group IV element-based magnetic thin films and heterostructures as a function of composition and epitaxial constraints. The materials systems of interest are Si-compatible epitaxial films and heterostructures of Si/Ge-based magnetic ternary alloys grown by non-equilibrium molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) techniques, specifically doped magnetic semiconductors (DMS) and half-metallic Heusler alloys. Systematic structural, chemical, magnetic, and electrical measurements are carried out, using x-ray microbeam techniques, magnetotunneling spectroscopy and microscopy, and magnetotransport. The work is aimed at elucidating the nature and interplay between structure, chemical order, magnetism, and spin-dependent states in these novel materials, at developing materials and techniques to realize and control fully spin polarized states, and at exploring fundamental processes that stabilize the epitaxial magnetic nanostructures and control the electronic and magnetic states in these complex materials. Combinatorial approach provides the means for the systematic studies, and the complex nature of the work necessitates this approach.

Comparison of Achievable Magnetic Fields with Superconducting and Cryogenic Permanent Magnet Undulators – A Comprehensive Study of Computed and Measured Values
Magnetic modeling was performed to estimate achievable magnetic field strengths of superconducting undulators (SCUs) and to compare them with those of cryogenically cooled permanent magnet undulators (CPMUs). Starting with vacuum (beam stay-clear) gaps of 4.0 and 6.0 mm, realistic allowances for beam chambers (in the SCU case) and beam liners (in the CPMU case) were added. (A 6.0-mm vacuum gap is planned for the upgraded APS). The CPMU magnetic models consider both CPMUs that use NdFeB magnets at ~150 K and PrFeB magnets at 77 K. Parameters of the magnetic models are presented along with fitted coefficients of a Halbach-type expression for the field dependence on the gap-to-period ratio. Field strengths for SCUs are estimated using a scaling law for planar SCUs; an equation for that is given. The SCUs provide higher magnetic fields than the highest-field CPMUs – those using PrFeB at 77 K – for period lengths longer than ~14 mm for NbTi-based SCUs and ~10 mm for Nb3Sn-based SCUs. To show that the model calculations and scaling law results are realistic, they are compared to CPMUs that have been built and NbTi-based SCUs that have been built. Brightness tuning curves of CPMUs (PrFeB) and SCUs (NbTi) for the upgraded APS lattice are also provided for realistic period lengths.

Magnetic and Mechanical Center Deviations of NSLS-II Magnets
Ideally Mechanical center coincides with magnetic center for a perfectly manufactured magnet. However, this is not the case in a real world. This requires magnet should be magnetically fiducialized and aligned to reduce the error that caused by this kind of discrepancy. A high-precision and costly vibrating wire system is used in NSLS-II project to align all the magnets in one common girder magnetically with a precision better than ±10 micron. It can be deemed as a ruler to gauge the magnetic and mechanical center deviation for NSLS-II magnets. This information will be useful for future accelerator regarding alignment technique selection.

High Precision Magnetic Field Measurement for the Muon g-2 Experiment
The Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab will measure the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, aµ with a precision of 140 ppb, a four-fold improvement over the former BNL E821 result. If the current discrepancy of about 3.5σ between the Standard Model value for aµ and the former experiments was real, then the new experiment would verify the deviation with >7σ significance. The experiment uses muons with the magic momentum of 3.09 GeV/c stored in a very homogeneous magnetic field of a 45 m long storage ring. The determination of aµ requires the precise knowledge of both the anomalous muon spin precession, ωa, and the magnetic field, ωp, expressed in terms of the free-proton Larmor frequency. The field measurement uses the high precision tool of pulsed Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (pNMR) and requires cross-calibrating a set of probes: a very accurate NMR probe calibrates the 17 probes on the in-vacuum field mapping system (the so-called trolley). This trolley in turn is used to map the field over the full azimuth of the storage ring. The trolley measurement also provides the calibration of the 378 fixed probes around the ring that constantly monitor the field drift. This article presents the summary of the entire field measurement system needed to determine ωp. This work was supported in part by the US DOE, Fermilab and US DOE OHEP under contract No. KA2201020.

Magnetic feed material and its use in producing bonded permanent magnets by additive manufacturing
A method for producing magnet-polymer pellets useful as a feedstock in an additive manufacturing process, comprising: (i) blending thermoplastic polymer and hard magnetic particles; (ii) feeding the blended magnet-polymer mixture into a pre-feed hopper that feeds directly into an inlet of a temperature-controlled barrel extruder; (iii) feeding the blended magnet-polymer mixture into the barrel extruder at a fixed feed rate of 5-20 kg/hour, wherein the temperature at the outlet is at least to no more than 10° C. above a glass transition temperature of the blended magnet-polymer mixture; (iv) feeding the blended magnet-polymer mixture directly into an extruding die; (v) passing the blended magnet-polymer mixture through the extruding die at a fixed speed; and (vi) cutting the magnet-polymer mixture at regular intervals as the mixture exits the extruding die at the fixed speed. The use of the pellets as feed material in an additive manufacturing process is also described.

Fracture Strength and Surface Magnetic Flux Uniformity in an Isotropic Polymer-Bonded Ring-Shaped Nd-Fe-B Magnet
Ring-shaped (RS) polymer-bonded magnets were produced from a mixture of an isotropic nanocrystalline Nd-Fe-B powder with a nominal composition of 59.8 wt.% Fe, 29 wt.% Nd, 5 wt.% Zr, 4.8 wt.% Co and 1.4 wt.% B and a variety of epoxy resins as binders, using a compaction-molding technique. The morphology and average particle size of the powders are determined by an SEM. The magnetic properties of the magnets were measured using a permeameter. Magnetic flux on the surface of the magnets was determined by a Gauss meter. The mechanical properties of the RS specimens were determined using a tensile fracture strength (FS) test. The effects of polymer type and amount, hardener amount, applied pressing pressure and curing temperature and time on FS were investigated. The experimental results showed that at optimal conditions of 8 wt.% solid epoxy, 3.5 wt.% solid hardener, a pressing pressure of 900 MPa and a curing time of 8 h at 170 °C, a maximum tensile strength of ~ 36 MPa was achieved. Surface magnetic flux uniformity in optimal mechanical conditions was also found to be optimum at around ± 40 G, which is one of the best flux uniformities in bonded magnets.

Magnetic phase transitions and electrical switching in Gd5(Sn0.3Ge3.7) induced by magnetic field
Temperature and magnetic field dependences of the magnetization and electrical resistivity of zero-field-cooled (ZFC) Gd 5 (Sn 0.3 Ge 3.7 ) with a distinctly layered crystal structure have been studied. The unit cell of Gd 5 Ge 4 -based compounds is formed by 2D-like fragments, so-called slabs. Between 4.2 and 17 K, ZFC Gd 5 (Sn 0.3 Ge 3.7 ) shows an antiferromagnetic state [AFM(I)], which can be irreversibly transformed by a magnetic field to the ferromagnetic (FM) state. The critical magnetic field required for the irreversible AFM(I)-FM transition in Gd 5 (Sn 0.3 Ge 3.7 ) at 4.2 K is 38 kOe, which is 2-fold larger than observed in Gd 5 Ge 4 , 19 kOe. Additionally, ZFC Gd 5 Sn 0.3 Ge 3.7 ) above ˜30K shows another antiferromagnetic state [AFM(II)], which can be reversibly transformed by a magnetic field to the FM state. The difference between FM(I) and AFM(II) states (phases) in Gd 5 (Sn 0.3 Ge 3.7 ) can be attributed to the orientation of Gd magnetic moments, i.e., their orientation perpendicular or parallel to the slabs. In the temperature range of 17 K≤T≤30 K, both AFM(I) and FM(II) states (phases) may coexist in the alloy and can be irreversibly or reversibly transformed to the FM state. Magnetic phase transitions in Gd 5 (Sn 0.3 Ge 3.7 ) are accompanied with reversible or irreversible switching between the low- [AFM(I) and AFM(II)] and high-resistivity (FM) states.

Magnetic Field-Driven Convection for Directed Surface Patterning of Colloids
Drying sessile droplets is a promising route to transform colloidal dispersions into surface coatings, which are widely used in material design and biochemical detection. However, directing the assembly of the particles within drying droplets and achieving surface patterns beyond the well-known coffee-ring formation remain a challenge. Here, we present a new principle of directing the assembly of nonmagnetic colloidal particles dispersed in a magnetic fluid and generating unusual surface patterns. We use the ability of ferrofluids to change phases with the application of magnetic fields to program the assembly of nonmagnetic microparticles present in drying sessile droplets. We show that in the absence of external magnetic field, the superparamagnetic nanoparticles in the magnetic fluid are spontaneously transported to the droplet edge because of solvent evaporation. This nanoparticle transport leads to the formation of nanoparticle-rich edge and nanoparticle-depleted center of the drying droplet. Upon the application of a uniform external magnetic field, the asymmetry in the magnetic nanoparticle distribution drives a magnetostatic convection and finger-like instability from the droplet edge to the center. This magnetic microconvection from droplet edge-to-center reverses the particle transport from center-to-edge, well-known for drying droplets in the absence of external field. We use this magnetostatic microconvection to assemble secondary nonmagnetic microspheres in droplets, overwriting ring formation and direct their assembly into four distinct kinetically stable states. As a result, the method presented here offers an active control over the colloidal assembly achieved by drying sessile droplets and thus enables a new route for fabricating complex patterns and functional surface coating.

Magnetic Phase Diagram of 2D Magnet Fe 5– x GeTe 2 Revealed by Cryogenic Lorentz 4D-STEM
A two-dimensional van der Waals ferromagnet Fe 5–x GeTe 2 (F5GT) exhibits room-temperature magnetic transition and magnetic anisotropy. Studies have identified diverse magnetic states, including stripe domains, skyrmionic type-I and topologically trivial type-II bubbles, depending on the magnetic and thermal history. Yet, the underlying micromagnetic energetics driving these states remains unclear. Here, we establish the magnetic phase diagram of bulk F5GT using cryogenic Lorentz four-dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy. We reveal that stripe domains spontaneously form upon zero-field cooling, while metastable magnetic bubbles are stabilized by external fields. Transitions from type-I to type-II bubbles are driven by an oblique external field. Micromagnetic simulations confirm that these transitions arise from the interplay of uniaxial anisotropy, dipolar interactions, and external fields, without requiring significant Dzyaloshinskii–Moriya Interaction (DMI). In conclusion, these findings clarify the micromagnetic origin of spin textures of F5GT and establish it as a tunable platform for nanoscale topological magnetism.

A competition between 2D and 3D magnetic orderings in novel mixed valent copper frameworks
Low-dimensional hybrid inorganic–organic frameworks exhibit high structural flexibility and allow for the inclusion of various magnetic and optically-active species into their host structures. The emergence of copper-based hybrid structures for various optical applications provides a promising foundation for exploring the integration of magnetic sublattices, paving the way for advancements in magneto-optical coupling and multifunctional materials. Herein, we introduce a novel class of hybrid copper frameworks with covalently-connected alternating magnetic 2D copper(II) formate and non-magnetic copper(I) bromide layers. The anionic framework is stabilized by A + cations to form ACu 5 Br 4 (COOH) 4 (A + = Na + , K + , Rb + , NH 4 + ) semiconductors (bandgaps 2.1–2.2 eV) with optical transitions suitable for optoelectronic applications. Comprehensive magnetometry studies show that ACu 5 Br 4 (COOH) 4 compounds exhibit low-dimensional 2D short-range antiferromagnetic order within the formate layers, characterized by strong exchange coupling (J/k B ∼ −100 K). Upon further temperature reduction, interactions between Cu(II) layers give rise to 3D long-range magnetic order at ∼40 K, despite the large (8.6–8.8 Å) spatial separation of the magnetic Cu(II) formate layers by nonmagnetic Cu(I)–Br bridging layers. This transition is further supported by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. In conclusion, this study expands our understanding of low-dimensional hybrid frameworks and opens new avenues for the design of 2D multifunctional materials.

Investigation of effect of solenoid magnet on emittances of ion beam from laser ablation plasma
A magnetic field can increase an ion current of a laser ablation plasma and is expected to control the change of the plasma ion current. However, the magnetic field can also make some fluctuations of the plasma and the effect on the beam emittance and the emission surface is not clear. To investigate the effect of a magnetic field, we extracted the ion beams under three conditions where without magnetic field, with magnetic field, and without magnetic field with higher laser energy to measure the beam distribution in phase space. Then we compared the relations between the plasma ion current density into the extraction gap and the Twiss parameters with each condition. We observed the effect of the magnetic field on the emission surface.
