Rare Earth- (RE-) doped BiFeO 3 (BFO) thin films were grown on LaAlO 3 substrates by using pulsed laser deposition technique. All of BFO films doped with 10% of RE show a single phase of rhombohedral structure. The saturated magnetization in the Ho- and Sm-doped films is much larger than those reported in literature a…

The calculation of eddy current losses in foil windings exposed to a 2-D fringing field is a complex task because of the current displacement along the height of the foil. For model-based optimization of magnetic components, loss calculation with 2-D finite element method simulation is not an option because of the hig…
