Fujitsu and NIMS Develop World's Largest-Scale Magnetic-Reversal Simulator 2016.01.14

Tokyo, Japan - January 12, 2016 - Fujitsu Limited today announced that, in joint research with the National Institute for Materials Science (NIMS) and Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd., it has developed the world's largest magnetic-reversal simulator, using a mesh covering more than 300 million micro-regions. Based on the large-scale magnetic-reversal simulation technology first developed in 2013, this new development offers a faster calculation algorithm and more efficient massive parallel processing. The simulations are run on the K computer. Fujitsu and NIMS will be making a joint presentation on these results at the 13th Joint MMM-Intermag Conference, running January 11-15, 2016, in San Diego, California.

Magnetic reversal
The reversal of magnetization caused by magnetic fields or electrical currents.

The simulations are run on the K computer.

K computer
The K computer, which was jointly developed by RIKEN and Fujitsu, is part of the High-Performance Computing Infrastructure (HPCI) initiative led by Japan's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT).
The K computer's availability for shared use began in September 2012.
The "K" in K computer comes from the Japanese Kanji character "Kei" which means ten peta or 10 to the 16th power.
In its original sense, "Kei" expresses a large gateway, and it is hoped that the system will be a new gateway to computational science.
This simulation was run using the K computer’s commonly used problem set hp150014 (Yoshihiro Goda, Tokyo University).

In addition, by utilizing this technology, Fujitsu conducted large-scale simulations to clarify the correlation between the fine structure of neodymium magnets, a type of permanent magnet, and magnetic strength, by examining the process of magnetic reversal in neodymium magnets.


Neodymium magnet
A rare-earth magnet consisting of elemental neodymium (Nd), iron (Fe), and boron (B), it is the strongest type of permanent magnet.
Although neodymium is classified as a rare-earth element, it is not a rare element on earth, and is present at levels similar to common metals such as cobalt, nickel, and copper.

The results successfully demonstrated a way to develop high-strength neodymium magnets with more than twice the coercivity of previous magnets, without dysprosium.


Dysprosium
A heavy rare-earth element that is truly rare.
Like another heavy rare-earth element, terbium (Tb), this is an effective element for increasing the coercivity of neodymium magnets, but because it has only 10% the prevalence of neodymium, reducing the use of it is a high priority.

In conventional neodymium magnets, dysprosium alloying is indispensable for enhancing magnetic coercivity.

Coercivity
The strength with which a magnet can sustain its action as a magnet in the face of a magnetic field opposing its own magnetic force.
The neodymium magnets used for electric-car motors need high coercivity, and use the rare dysprosium for that reason.

These simulation techniques offer a clear design rule for high-performance neodymium magnets that do not rely on dysprosium.

Background

In recent years, the increasing momentum for energy conservation has brought attention to improving the efficiency of motors and generators that use magnetic materials.

Currently, neodymium and dysprosium elements are indispensable to manufacture top performance iron-based permanent magnets for these applications.

However, as a natural resource, dysprosium is only about 10% as common as that of neodymium, which may make for issues with regard to stable supply.

This is why there is a high need to develop strong dysprosium-free neodymium magnets.


About the Simulation

In 2013, Fujitsu and NIMS jointly developed the large-scale magnetic-reversal simulation technology that uses the finite-element method and micromagnetics.

Finite-element method
A method of numerical analysis widely used in structural analysis and magnetic-field analysis.

Micromagnetics
A method of analyzing the fine structure of a magnetic material. In a computer simulation, if the magnetic material is divided into regions the size of a few atoms, the computing time is enormous.

Running these simulations on the K computer helped to clarify the mechanism of coercivity in neodymium magnets.

Previously, dysprosium was used in neodymium magnets in order to increase the coercivity, the resistive force against a demagnetization field during operation of motors and generators.

To develop a neodymium magnet that does not use dysprosium, simulations of the demagnetization processes under the presence of a reverse magnetic field is necessary.

This, in turn, requires a massively complex simulation to represent the process of magnetization reversal, using a model of a neodymium magnet with a mesh divided into 1-nanometer sections.

Toward that end, the research team refined the computational algorithm used in the simulation and increased parallelization by a factor of roughly ten to more than 10,000, allowing for efficient massive parallel computations.

Parallelization
Parallel processing is a computing technique in which multiple CPU cores are used in parallel to increase computing performance; this is a measure of the number of CPU cores being used in parallel.

This enabled the researchers to develop a magnetic-reversal simulator using a mesh with more than 300 million nodes, or roughly 60 times more than before.

For this simulator, the research team created a polycrystalline model (Figure 1) in which 27 neodymium-magnet crystals were magnetically bonded, and simulated the process of magnetic reversal while varying the strength of the magnetic couplings between the crystals.

This led to the discovery that changes in the strength of the magnetic coupling between crystals in the lateral direction greatly affect the process of magnetic reversal (Figure 2), while the magnetic decoupling in the perpendicular direction is not so effective.

The simulation showed for the first time that the magnetic decoupling of the crystals in the lateral directions double the coercivity of neodymium magnets, which could obviate the need for dysprosium.

Previous experiments decoupled the magnetic grains in the perpendicular direction, which did not result in sufficiently high coercivity.

This simulation clearly shows that even when crystals are bonded vertically, decoupling the grains in the horizontal direction results in a dramatic increase in coercivity.

This work has clearly shown the direction toward the development of strong neodymium magnets without dysprosium.



Future Plans

The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's "Elements Strategy Initiative Project", carried out at NIMS in the Elements Strategy Initiative Center for Magnetic Materials, aims at developing neodymium magnets that require no dysprosium by 2017.

Elements Strategy Initiative Project
A project of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.
Founded to discover the properties and functions of materials, its goal is to develop high-performance materials without relying on rare or toxic elements.
The Elements Strategy Initiative Center for Magnetic Materials was set up at NIMS as the center for researching magnetics under this project, and has pursued the development of advanced magnetic materials.

To achieve this target, Fujitsu and NIMS will work together, using the K computer to conduct massive, ongoing simulations that pave the way toward developing strong neodymium magnets that do not need dysprosium, contributing to Japanese industry as a whole.
