The resonance quality factor Q is a key parameter that describes the performance of magnetoelastic sensors. Its value can be easily quantified from the width and the peak position of the resonance curve but, when the resonance signals are small, for instance when a lot of damping is present (low quality factor), this and other simple methods to determine this parameter are highly inaccurate. In these cases, numerical fittings of the resonance curves allow to accurately obtain the value of the quality factor. We present a study of the use of different expressions to numerically fit the resonance curves of a magnetoelastic sensor that is designed to monitor the precipitation reaction of calcium oxalate. The study compares the performance of both fittings and the equivalence of the parameters obtained in each of them. Through these numerical fittings, the evolution of the different parameters that define the resonance curve of these sensors is studied, and their accuracy in determining the quality factor is compared.

Magnetoelastic Resonance

The magnetoelastic resonance is used to monitor the precipitation reaction of calcium oxalate ( C a C 2 O 4 ) crystals in real-time, by measuring the shift of the resonance frequency caused by the mass increase on the resonator. With respect to previous work on the same matter, the novelty lies in the adoption of an amorphous ferromagnetic alloy, of composition F e 73 C r 5 S i 10 B 12 , as resonator, that replaces the commercial Metglas® 2826 alloy (composition F e 40 N i 38 M o 4 B 18 ). The enhanced corrosion resistance of this material allows it to be used in biological environments without any pre-treatment of its surface. Additionally, the measurement method, which has been specifically adapted to this application, allows quick registration of the whole resonance curve as a function of the excitation frequency, and thus enhances the resolution and decreases the detection noise. The frequency shift is calibrated by the static deposition of well-known masses of C a C 2 O 4 . The resonator dimensions have been selected to improve sensitivity. A 20 mm long, 2 mm wide and 25 μ m thick magnetoelastic resonator has been used to monitor the precipitation reaction of calcium oxalate in a 500 s time interval. The results of the detected precipitated mass when oxalic acid and calcium chloride are mixed in different concentrations (30 mM, 50 mM and 100 mM) are presented as a function of time. The results show that the sensor is capable of monitoring the precipitation reaction. The mass sensitivity obtained, and the corrosion resistance of the material, suggest that this material can perform excellently in monitoring this type of reaction.

Quality Factor Q

Among important parameters in simulation of earthquake data in high frequencies are the high frequency spectral amplitude decay and the Quality factor. Amplitude spectral decay is determined by the Kappa parameter (K) and the Quality factor (Q) which is usually expressed by a power relation of frequency (f) as Q = Q0 f n, where Q0 is Q at 1 Hz. The 2017 Sarpol-e-Zahab earthquake with magnitude Mw = 7.3 in Kermanshah province near the Iran-Iraq border caused extensive destruction and heavy human loss. Thus, the study of different aspects of this event is of high importance. In this paper an attempt is made to partly explain the attenuation properties of this region in Zagros suture zone by determining the Kappa and the Quality factors in this region. In this study, accelerograph records of aftershocks of the above-mentioned earthquake have been analysed. The best linear fit for the Kappa, based on the distance (R) in km, is estimated as: K = 0.0005 R + 0.034 for the horizontal component, which exhibits increase with increasing epicentral distance. The correlation of the Quality factor was also found as Q = 88.6 f 0.8, which is in accordance with an active tectonic region.

The study is devoted to the mathematical description of the process of oil outflow in places of leakage of the tubing string, which allows a computer to locate a leakage in the tubing. The authors propose methodology for identifying defects in the tubing and determining the location of the leak. The uniqueness of this methodology lies in quick determination of the place of leakage without the use of specialists, sophisticated and specialized equipment. Mathematical modeling of oil flow in the tubing requires the apparatus of continuum mechanics. It is a general belief that the movement of oil in the pipe flows at low speeds due to its outflow from the hole. Using the general equations of mass and energy balance, the authors have obtained differential equations of fluid motion in a vertical pipe in the process of its outflow from the tubing and in the process of injection. Analytical expressions are the solution to these equations, as they can help in estimating the degree of damage and its location, as well as the feasibility of its eliminating. The results show that an increase in the leakage and injection times leads to improving accuracy of locating damage. Thus, when conducting various geological and technical measures (GTM) at the well, it is possible to assess the presence of leakage and its intensity when deciding on the repair of tubing.

AbstractHigh quality-factor (Q) optical resonators are a key component for ultra-narrow linewidth lasers, frequency stabilization, precision spectroscopy and quantum applications. Integration in a photonic waveguide platform is key to reducing cost, size, power and sensitivity to environmental disturbances. However, to date, the Q of all-waveguide resonators has been relegated to below 260 Million. Here, we report a Si3N4 resonator with 422 Million intrinsic and 3.4 Billion absorption-limited Qs. The resonator has 453 kHz intrinsic, 906 kHz loaded, and 57 kHz absorption-limited linewidths and the corresponding 0.060 dB m−1 loss is the lowest reported to date for waveguides with deposited oxide upper cladding. These results are achieved through a careful reduction of scattering and absorption losses that we simulate, quantify and correlate to measurements. This advancement in waveguide resonator technology paves the way to all-waveguide Billion Q cavities for applications including nonlinear optics, atomic clocks, quantum photonics and high-capacity fiber communications.
