An energy harvesting device combined with a giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) sensor is presented to analyze low frequency vibrating systems. An electromagnetic harvester based on magnetic levitation is proposed for the electric power generation. The device is composed of two fixed permanent magnets at both ends of a cylindrical frame, a levitating magnet acting as inertial mass and a pick-up coil to collect the induced electromotive force. At the resonance frequency (10 Hz) a maximum electrical power of 1.4 mW at 0.5 g is generated. Moreover, an amorphous wire was employed as sensor nucleus for the design of a linear accelerometer prototype. The sensor is based on the GMI effect where the impedance changes occur as a consequence of the variations of the effective magnetic field due to an oscillating magnetic element. As a result of the magnet’s periodic motion, an amplitude modulated signal (AM) was obtained, its amplitude being proportional to mechanical vibration amplitude (or acceleration). The sensor’s response was examined for a simple ferrite magnet under vibration and compared with that obtained for the vibrational energy harvester. As a result of the small amplitudes of vibration, a linear sensor response was obtained that could be employed in the design of low cost and simple accelerometers.

Contactless magnetic nanoparticle detection platform based on non-linear GMI effect
(Elsevier, 2021) Beato López, Juan Jesús; Algueta-Miguel, Jose M.; Gómez Polo, Cristina; Zientziak; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Ciencias; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación
A detection platform based on non-linear Giant Magnetoimpedance Effect was analyzed for the design of a contactless and low-cost detector of magnetic nanoparticles. The sensor consists of two soft magnetic amorphous wires (Co66Fe2Si13B15Cr4, 1.5 cm in length) placed in parallel and connected electrically in series. Initially, a simple voltage divider was employed to characterize the variations of the first, V1fand second harmonic, V2f, voltages. Their response was analyzed under the effect of the remnant magnetic field generated by different amounts of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (mean diameter 140 nm) as a function of an external magnetic field, H. Due to the larger relative variations showed by V2f, the second harmonic was chosen for the final prototype development. An electronic interface was designed for both current excitation and V2f detection. The designed detection platform, characterized by high detection sensitivity, low-cost, portable, and reusable features, can be employed to efficiently detect magnetic nanoparticles.

From fundamental materials chemistry to sensing applications: unravelling the water adsorption mechanism of a luminescent optical fibre sensor membrane
(Elsevier, 2024) Cruz Quesada, Guillermo; Rosales Reina, María Beatriz; López Torres, Diego; Reinoso, Santiago; López Ramón, María Victoria; Arzamendi Manterola, Gurutze; Elosúa Aguado, César; Espinal Viguri, Maialen; Garrido Segovia, Julián José; Ciencias; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Zientziak; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
This work provides insight into the correlation between the luminescent response of a water-vapour optical fibre sensor and the textural properties of its lanthanide-doped silica coating. To this end, a library of 16 silica xerogels derived from combinations between 2 lanthanide dopants (EuIII, TbIII) and 8 antenna ligands was synthesised and characterised by photoluminescence spectroscopy and N2 and CO2 adsorption-desorption isotherms, among others. Based on the best luminescent response and most-suited porous texture, the material doped with TbIII and 2,2′-(4-(2-Ethoxyethoxy)pyridine-2,6-diyl)bis(4,5-dihydrooxazole) was selected to construct the probe. A film of this material was affixed to a commercial silica fibre by dip-coating and the resulting sensor was tested in a climatic chamber with relative humidity ranging from 20 to 90% to obtain normalised time-response and calibration curves at three temperatures. The response was linear up to certain water-vapour concentrations, beyond which abruptly changed to polynomial, acting against the sensor resolution. The adsorption mechanism was elucidated by comparing the isosteric enthalpies of adsorption calculated from the sensor calibration curves to those determined from the monolith water-vapour isotherms, revealing that capillary condensation in the membrane mesopores was the key phenomenon leading to the response deviating from linearity.

Monitoring structural transformations in metamagnetic shape memory alloys by non-contact GMI technology
(IOP Publishing, 2023) Beato López, Juan Jesús; La Roca, Paulo Matías; Algueta-Miguel, Jose M.; Garayo Urabayen, Eneko; Sánchez-Alarcos Gómez, Vicente; Recarte Callado, Vicente; Gómez Polo, Cristina; Pérez de Landazábal Berganzo, José Ignacio; Ciencias; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Zientziak; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren
Different applications based on metamagnetic shape memory alloy (MSMA) require monitoring the evolution of the martensitic transformation (MT) to optimize the actuation mechanism. To avoid interaction with the active material, a non-contact technique would be ideal. Nevertheless, non-contact detection involves complex methods like diffraction, optical analysis, or electromagnetic technology. The present work demonstrates that the MT can be monitored without interaction with the active material using a low-cost technology based on the Giant Magnetoimpedance (GMI) effect. The GMI sensor is based on a (CoFe)SiB soft magnetic wire submitted to an alternating current and whose second harmonic voltage variation allows to detect changes in the strength of the stray magnetic fields linked to the metamagnetic phase transition. The sensor has been tested using the MT of a NiMnInCo MSMA. A specific application for environmental temperature control using the non-contact GMI sensor is proposed.

Non-linear GMI decoding in 3D printed magnetic encoded systems
(Elsevier, 2023) Beato López, Juan Jesús; Algueta-Miguel, Jose M.; Galarreta Rodríguez, Itziar; Garayo Urabayen, Eneko; López Ortega, Alberto; Gómez Polo, Cristina; Pérez de Landazábal Berganzo, José Ignacio; Ciencias; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Zientziak; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
The nonlinear giant magnetoimpedance (GMI) effect was explored as a highly sensitive sensing technology in 3D-printed magnetic encoded systems. Magnetic nanoparticles with low (magnetite, Fe3O4) and high (Co ferrite, Co0.7Fe2.3O4) magnetic remanence were embedded (10 wt%) in a polymeric matrix of Polylactic Acid (PLA) and Poly-ε-caprolactone (PCL) and extruded in magnetic filaments to be 3D printed by the Fused Deposition Modelling technique (FDM). Two different geometries were constructed namely, individual magnetic strips and fixed barcoded pieces. The stray magnetic fields generated by the magnetic nanoparticles were detected through the non-linear (second harmonic) GMI voltage using a soft magnetic CoFeSiB wire as the nucleus sensor. The decoding response was analyzed as a function of the magnetization remanence of the nanoparticles, the distance between the individual magnetic strips, and the position (height) of the GMI decoding sensor. It has been shown that modification of the net magnetization direction of each individual fixed strip within the barcode geometry is possible through the application of local external magnetic fields. This possibility improves the versatility of the 3D binary encoding system by adding an additional state (0 without nanoparticles, 1 or −1 depending on the relative orientation of the net magnetization along the strips) during the codifying procedure.

Shear based gap control in 2D photonic quasicrystals of dielectric cylinders
(Optica, 2021) Andueza Unanua, Ángel María; Sevilla Moróder, Joaquín; Pérez Conde, Jesús; Wang, Kang; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Zientziak; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación; Ciencias
2D dielectric photonic quasicrystals can be designed to show isotropic band gaps. In this work we study a quasiperiodic lattice made of silicon dielectric cylinders (ε = 12) arranged as periodic unit cell based on a decagonal approximant of a quasiperiodic Penrose lattice. We analyze the bulk properties of the resulting lattice as well as the bright states excited in the gap, which correspond to localized resonances of the electromagnetic field in specific cylinder clusters of the lattice. Then we introduce a controlled shear deformation γ which breaks the decagonal symmetry and evaluate the width reduction of the gap together with the evolution of the resonances, for all shear values compatible with physical constraints (cylinder contact). The gap width reduction reaches 18.5% while different states change their frequency in several ways. Realistic analysis of the actual transmission of the electromagnetic radiation, often missing in the literature, has been performed for a finite 'slice' of the proposed quasicrystals structure. Two calculation procedures based on MIT Photonic Bands (MPB) and Finite Integration Technique (FIT) are used for the bulk and the finite structures showing an excellent agreement between them.

Strain sensing based on resonant states in 2D dielectric photonic quasicrystals
(Optica, 2021) Andueza Unanua, Ángel María; Pérez Conde, Jesús; Sevilla Moróder, Joaquín; Zientziak; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa, Elektronikoaren eta Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzaren; Institute of Smart Cities - ISC; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Ciencias; Ingeniería Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Comunicación
This paper reports the numerical and experimental study of the strain sensing effect of bidimensional quasiperiodic structures made with dielectric cylinders. Structures of around 100 cylinders arranged following a Penrose quasiperiodic disposition were simulated, built and measured, in different states of deformation. The selected quasiperiodic structure contains a symmetric decagonal ring resonator that shows two states in its photonic band gap. The frequency of these states varies linearly in opposite directions as the structure is axially deformed, becoming an interesting sensing principle that can be exploited to build optical strain gauges. As a proof of concept, centimeter-scale glass cylinder (εr=4.5) structures were fabricated and their transmission spectra were measured in the microwave range. The same structures were simulated using finite integration time domain showing a good agreement with the measurements. The sensitivity of the prototype built was 12.4 kHz/µε, very linear in a wide range. Therefore, we conclude that the states in the gap of the resonator rings of 2D quasicrystals can find an interesting application in optical strain gauge construction.
