van den Beld, David (author)ADCS magnetometers on board of satellites suffer from the disruptive magnetic field produced by the satellite itself. For CubeSats and PocketQubes this magnetic field is usually not quantified. If the largest magnetic field sources are known and if there is freedom in the magnetometer placement, the magnetometer is simply placed as far from the...master thesis 2023

Fetter, Marnix (author)Indoor positioning systems cannot rely on conventional localization methods, such as GPS, to locate devices because of interference with the structure of buildings. One solution is to use magnetic positioning, which is based on spatial variations in the patterns of the ambient magnetic field. To model magnetic fields, Gaussian process regression...master thesis 2023

Veen, Thijs (author)Indoor localisation is a growing field of interest in recent studies. While GPS (global positioning system) is a standard for outdoor localisation, no such solution exists for indoor applications. The literature provides several methods to obtain the location of indoor systems, often using optical sensors. A small number of recent studies use...master thesis 2022

Feldstein Bofill, David (author)Resonators are useful structures due to their simplicity in modeling, design, fabrication and measurement. They can be measured over a wide range of frequencies, power and temperatures, making them convenient for many experiments. Recently, superconducting resonators started being used to investigate microscopic phenomena which require applied...master thesis 2022

Manafu, Marius (author)The technology of focus in this paper, the applied-field magnetoplasmadynamic (MPD) thruster (AF-MPDT), was developed in the 1960s. However, little research has been conducted for this thruster. There is still the need for an accurate model describing the thruster's functioning, its thrust and the physical phenomenons inside.<br/>This project...master thesis 2022

Boele, Jelle (author)This thesis describes the design of a CMOS magnetic field sensor system for measuring electronic currents. A hybrid system, using Hall plates and a pick-up loop is chosen to obtain improved performance compared to conventional Hall based magnetic field sensors. The pick up loop enables to reduce the current consumption and increases the...master thesis 2022

Kok, M. (author), Viset, F.M. (author), Osman, M.E.A. (author)In this work, our focus is on indoor localization using the indoor magnetic field as a source of position information. This relies on the fact that ferromagnetic materials inside buildings cause the magnetic field to vary spatially. We jointly estimate the pose of a combined sensor module (containing a magnetometer) as well as the magnetic field...conference paper 2022

Osman, M.E.A. (author), Viset, F.M. (author), Kok, M. (author)In this paper, a simultaneous localization and mapping algorithm for tracking the motion of a pedestrian with a foot-mounted inertial measurement unit is proposed. The algorithm uses two maps, namely, a motion map and a magnetic field map. The motion map captures typical motion patterns of pedestrians in buildings that are constrained by e.g....conference paper 2022

Farinacci, L.S.M. (author), Veldman, L.M. (author), Willke, Philip (author), Otte, A.F. (author)Historically, electron spin resonance (ESR) has provided excellent insight into the electronic, magnetic, and chemical structure of samples hosting spin centers. In particular, the hyperfine interaction between the electron and the nuclear spins yields valuable structural information about these centers. In recent years, the combination of...journal article 2022

Viset, F.M. (author), Helmons, R.L.J. (author), Kok, M. (author)We present a computationally efficient algorithm for using variations in the ambient magnetic field to compensate for position drift in integrated odometry measurements (dead-reckoning estimates) through simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). When the magnetic field map is represented with a reduced-rank Gaussian process (GP) using...journal article 2022

Blishchik, A. (author), Glavinić, Ivan (author), Wondrak, Thomas (author), van Odyck, Daniel (author), Kenjeres, S. (author)In the present study, we have performed a series of numerical simulations of the turbulent liquid metal flow in a laboratory-scale setup of the continuous casting. The liquid metal flow was subjected to an external non-uniform magnetic field reproducing a realistic electromagnetic brake (EMBr) effect. The focus of this research was on the...journal article 2022

It is currently also the superconductor of choice for the development of topological qubits. However, aluminum-based devices suffer from poor magnetic field compatibility. Herein, this limitation is resolved by showing that adatoms of heavy elements (e.g.,...journal article 2022

Yang, Kai (author), Ye, Guang (author), De Schutter, Geert (author)Water molecules exist as two spin isomers, differing by the relative orientation of the nuclear spins of the two hydrogen atoms: either antiparallel (para-water, S=0) or parallel (ortho-water, S=1) [1]. The transition between these nuclear spin states can be achieved through magnetic symmetry breaking via a field gradient across the spins...conference paper 2021
