Popis: | It was recently discovered that inclusions and other types of inhomogeneities can be nondestructively detected by thermoelectric measurements in an entirely noncontact way by using high-sensitivity superconducting quantum interference device magnetometers to sense the weak thermoelectric currents around the affected region when the specimen is subjected to directional heating or cooling. In this article we present theoretical models capable of predicting the magnetic field produced by thermoelectric currents around spherical and cylindrical inclusions under external thermal excitation. We investigated how the magnetic signal to be detected depends on (i) the relevant physical properties of the host and the inclusion, (ii) the size of the inclusion, (iii) the depth of the inclusion below the surface of the specimen, (iv) the polarization of the magnetometer, (v) the lift-off distance of the magnetometer from the specimen, and the (vi) direction and (vii) strength of the external heating or cooling applied ... |
