In this work, the performance of five different fiber optic sensors at cryogenic temperatures has been analyzed. A photonic crystal fiber Fabry-Pérot interferometer, two Sagnac interferometers, a commercial fiber Bragg grating (FBG), and a -phase shifted fiber Bragg grating interrogated in In this work, the performance of five different fiber optic sensors at cryogenic temperatures has been analyzed. A photonic crystal fiber Fabry-Pérot interferometer, two Sagnac interferometers, a commercial fiber Bragg grating (FBG), and a π-phase shifted fiber Bragg grating interrogated in a random distributed feedback fiber laser have been studied. Their sensitivities and resolutions as sensors for cryogenic temperatures have been compared regarding their advantages and disadvantages. Additionally, the results have been compared with the given by a commercial optical backscatter reflectometer that allowed for distributed temperature measurements of a single mode fiber.

The influence of mechanically-induced defects on the magnetostructural properties is analyzed in a Ni-Co-Mn-Sn alloy subjected to soft milling and subsequent annealing treatments. It is found that, opposite to what occurs in Ni-Mn-Sn ternary alloys, the annealing treatment affects the magnetic properties in a different way in martensite and in austenite. In particular, the saturation magnetization significantly increases in martensite after annealing whereas just a very slight variation is observed in austenite. This leads to the interesting fact that the presence of microstructural defects, far for worsening, makes the magnetocaloric effect to be higher in the as-milled state than after annealing. This behavior is explained as the result of the combination of the effect of defects on the Mn-Mn distance, the effect of Co on the magnetic exchange coupling between Mn atoms, and the effect of defects on the vibrational entropy change at the martensitic transformation.

Giant direct and inverse magnetocaloric effect linked to the same forward martensitic transformation

Metamagnetic shape memory alloys have aroused considerable attraction as potential magnetic refrigerants due to the large inverse magnetocaloric effect associated to the magnetic-field-induction of a reverse martensitic transformation (martensite to austenite). In some of these alloys, the austenite phase can be retained on cooling under high magnetic fields, being the retained phase metastable after field removing. Here, we report a giant direct magnetocaloric effect linked to the anomalous forward martensitic transformation (austenite to martensite) that the retained austenite undergoes on heating. Under moderate fields of 10 kOe, an estimated adiabatic temperature change of 9 K has been obtained, which is (in absolute value) almost twice that obtained in the conventional transformation under higher applied fields. The observation of a different sign on the temperature change associated to the same austenite to martensite transformation depending on whether it occurs on heating (retained) or on cooling is attributed to the predominance of the magnetic or the vibrational entropy terms, respectively.

Interferometric vs wavelength selective optical fiber sensors for cryogenic temperature measurements
(SPIE, 2017) Miguel Soto, Verónica de; Leandro González, Daniel; López Aldaba, Aitor; Beato López, Juan Jesús; Pérez de Landazábal Berganzo, José Ignacio; Auguste, Jean-Louis; Jamier, Raphael; Roy, Philippe; López-Amo Sáinz, Manuel; Ingeniaritza Elektrikoa eta Elektronikoa; Fisika; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Ingeniería Eléctrica y Electrónica; Física
In this work, a preliminary study of the behavior of two different interferometric fiber optic sensors and two different wavelength selective fiber optic sensors is performed. A photonic cristal fiber Fabry-Pérot interferometer, a Sagnac interferometer, a commercial fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and a π-phase shifted fiber Bragg grating interrogated in a random distributed feedback fiber laser are analyzed. A comparison of their sensitivities and resolutions is carried out to analyze their performance as sensors for cryogenic temperatures, taking into account their advantages and drawbacks.

Giant stress-impedance (GSI) sensor for diameter evaluation incylindrical elements
(Elsevier, 2018-01-01) Beato López, Juan Jesús; Vargas Silva, Gustavo Adolfo; Pérez de Landazábal Berganzo, José Ignacio; Gómez Polo, Cristina; Ingeniería; Ingeniaritza; Ciencias; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua
In this work, a magnetoelastic sensor to detect the micrometer diameter variations of cylindrical elements is analyzed. A nearly zero magnetostrictive amorphous ribbon with nominal composition (Co₀.₉₃Fe₀․₀₇)₇₅Si₁₂․₅B₁₂․₅ was selected as sensor nucleus. The sensor, based on Giant Stress-Impedance (GSI), is attached (glued) along the external perimeter of the cylindrical element. Changes in the cylindrical diameter, DM, induce effective tensile stresses, S, on the ribbon, giving rise to sensitive changes in the high frequency impedance, Z. The sensor response is analyzed in terms of the relationship between the induced strains and the diameter variations, where the effect of geometrical factors (cylinder diameter and sample length) is taken into account. The results indicate that although the maximum GSI ratio depends on the pre-induced bending stresses associated to the cylindrical configuration, the sample length plays the dominant role in the sensor sensitivity. The proposed device enables to monitor the micrometric diameter variation in cylindrical elements, with a maximum strain gauge factor (GF≈-80) for low induced strains.
