UAV fluxgate magnetometer from MAGLAB was flying again in south hemisphere, this time exploring the salty Acraman crater in South Australia. Worked nicely, see the pictures provided by Marian Takac. The recorded magnetic data are being prepared for publication…

Another set of UAV-MAG triaxial fluxgate magnetometers from MAGLAB is measuring magnetic fields around the globe, recently close to Anchorage, Alaska, USA. The drone unit sensor got a nice skirt to help with stabilization during the flight. It helps to keep orientation steady which improves overall data quality (less disturbances caused by non-compensated residual non-orthogonalities […]

After successful operations in USA (Odessa crater) and Russia (Tunguska event place) the UAV-MAG is currently flying in the hot Australia (Snowy Mountains – Jindabyne). Unfortunately there was also a first incident concerning the unit, the sensor cable got extremely twisted, probably while entering some air turbulence. The magnetic field mapping will continue with the […]

The Kerr-effect microscope is finally in our lab and since yesterday is also fully operational… It is a nice tool to advance the development of magnetic materials for application in our high precise magnetic field sensors and also for general research related to magnetism, magnetic domain structure etc. More information will come soon in the […]

Typically after two years of Ph.D. study one has to pass a state examination, part of it is also a presentation of the actual research results.

Maglab has recently opened its new geomagnetic observatory of Kelčany in South Moravia.The observatory is located 6 m underground where the temperature is highly constant (form 9°C in winter to max 13 °C in summer with negligible daily variations).The magnetometer used in this observatory is a triaxial fluxgate manufactured by Maglab.

Here we are. We finally published a very important paper for fluxgate sensors.In this paper we present a new method to anneal magnetic wires which later are used as core for orthogonal fluxgate in fundamental mode.This method allows us to strongly reduce the offset in the fluxgate.
