Poissonian asymptotics of a randomly perturbed dynamical system: Flip-flop of the stochastic disk dynamo

A dynamical system with two stable equilibrium points will show a flip-flop motion between the neighborhoods of the two points when it is perturbed by small random noises. A typical example is the stochastic disk dynamo model where the two equilibrium points correspond to the two polarities of the earth's magnetic field. We prove what has been suggested by a computer simulation, that the counting process of the flips or the reversals of the earth's field converges to a standard Poisson process if the time is suitably scaled.     

Coupled flow and heat transfer of power-law nanofluids on non-isothermal rough rotary disk subjected to magnetic field

We study the coupled flow and heat transfer of power-law nanofluids on a non-isothermal rough rotating disk subjected to a magnetic field. The problem is formulated in terms of specified curvilinear orthogonal coordinate system. An improved BVP4C algorithm is proposed, and numerical solutions are obtained. The influence of volume fraction, types and shapes of nanoparticles, magnetic field and power-law index on the flow, and heat transfer behavior are discussed. The obtained results show that the power-law exponents (PLE), nanoparticle volume fraction (NVF), and magnetic field inclination angle (MFIA) have almost no effects on velocities in the wave surface direction, but have small or significant effects on the azimuth direction. The NVF has remarkable influences on local Nusselt number (LNN) and friction coefficients (FC) in the radial direction and the azimuth direction (AD). The LNN increases with NVF increasing while FC in AD decreases. The types of nanoparticles, magnetic field strength, and inclination have small effects on LNN, but they have remarkable influences on the friction coefficients with positively correlated heat transfer rate, while the inclination is negatively correlated with heat transfer rate. The size of the nanoparticle shape factor is positively correlated with LNN.     

Study of MHD dynamo effect at the outlet from plasma accelerator in the presence of longitudinal magnetic field

Properties of compressible flows in the quasi-stationary plasma accelerator have been studied in the presence of an additional longitudinal magnetic field and the arising rotation of plasma flow. Numerical study was carried out within the framework of two-dimensional magnetic hydrodynamics (MHD) model of the axisymmetric plasma flows taking into account the finite conductivity of medium and radiation transport. Dynamics of compressible plasma flows is accompanied by the MHD dynamo effect or generation of magnetic field on a conical shock wave forming at the outlet from the accelerator.     

Magnetic properties of 2D nano-islands II: Ising spin model with out-of-plane magnetic field

An Ising effective field theory model is presented to calculate the magnetic properties of 2D nano-islands on a nonmagnetic substrate, subject to an externally out-of-plane applied magnetic field. The system Hamiltonian contains nearest neighbor exchange interactions, single-atom magnetic anisotropies, and the Zeeman term. The calculations yield, in particular, the single site spin correlations, the magnetizations, and the isothermal susceptibilities, for the core and periphery domains of the nano-island. The choice of a spin S=1 for the atoms of the system permits the analysis of local spin fluctuations via the single site spin correlations. We investigate in this respect the effects due to the different magnetocrystalline anisotropies and reduced dimensionalities, for the core and periphery domains, and in particular the critical influence of the applied magnetic field. Detailed theoretical results are presented for the square and hexagonal lattice symmetries, with numerical applications for the 2D monolayer Co nano-islands on a Pt substrate. It is shown that the remarkable differences between the magnetic properties of the core and periphery domains in zero field are washed out when an out-of-plane field is applied. The applied field also provokes critical discontinuities for the spin correlations and magnetization reversals, for the core and periphery domains, which are especially evident for the hexagonal lattice nano-island in the range of fields of interest. The discontinuities and magnetization reversals occur over elementary temperature widths, and shift to lower temperatures with increasing field. The field-dependant isothermal susceptibilities show new features very different from those for the susceptibilities in zero field. The present Ising model does not show any blocking temperature transition to superparamagnetism.     

Exact solution of a triangular ising model in a nonzero magnetic field

A closed-form expression is obtained for the free energy per site of the Ising model on the triangular lattice in a nonzero magnetic field and with two- and three-site interactions. The solution is valid along a trajectory in the parameter space, and is derived using a method of exact decimation. A criterion determining the validity of the decimation method is also established.     

Microscopic calculation of the magnetic field of neutron stars

Based on the Dirac equation describing an electron moving in a uniform and cylindrically symmetric magnetic field which may be the result of the self-consistent mean field of the electrons themselves in a neutron star, we have obtained the eigen solutions and the orbital magnetic moments of electrons in which each eigen orbital can be calculated. From the eigen energy spectrum we find that the lowest energy level is the highly degenerate orbitals with the quantum numbers pZ=0, n=0, and m≥0. At the ground state, the electrons fill the lowest eigen states to form many Landau magnetic cells and each cell is a circular disk with the radius λfree and the thickness λe, where λfree is the electron mean free path determined by Coulomb cross section and electron density and λe is the electron Compton wavelength. The magnetic moment of each cell and the number of cells in the neutron star are calculated, from which the total magnetic moment and magnetic field of the neutron star can be calculated. The results are compared with the observational data and the agreement is reasonable.     

Beyond modified mean field: a case for a stochastic grain growth model

ABSTRACT

We address the basic mechanism of grain growth in two and three dimensions in single phase metallic systems. It is argued, a comprehensive grain growth model is best based on a stochastic process described by a Fokker Planck equation. This concept is sufficient to determine almost all features of grain growth in general terms. The existence of the von Neumann law and its counterpart in three dimensions enables us to provide an explicit form of the Fokker Planck equation and thus determine many features of grain growth in great detail. Finally, we illustrate this model by determining the salient features of grain growth in three dimensions in the long time limit, and comparing them with experimental and computational results.     

Microscopic calculation of the magnetic field of neutron stars

Based on the Dirac equation describing an electron moving in a uniform and cylindrically symmetric magnetic field which may be the result of the self-consistent mean field of the electrons themselves in a neutron star, we have obtained the eigen solutions and the orbital magnetic moments of electrons in which each eigen orbital can be calculated. From the eigen energy spectrum we find that the lowest energy level is the highly degenerate orbitals with the quantum numbers pz = 0, n = 0, and m ≥0. At the ground state, the electrons fill the lowest eigen states to form many Landau magnetic cells and each cell is a circular disk with the radius λfree and the thickness λe, where λfree is the electron mean free path determined by Coulomb cross section and electron density and λe is the electron Compton wavelength. The magnetic moment of each cell and the number of cells in the neutron star are calculated, from which the total magnetic moment and magnetic field of the neutron star can be calculated. The results are compared with the observational data and the agreement is reasonable.     

Multi-bubble motion behavior of uniform magnetic field based on phase field model

Aiming at the interaction and coalescence of bubbles in gas–liquid two-phase flow, a multi-field coupling model was established to simulate deformation and dynamics of multi-bubble in gas–liquid two-phase flow by coupling magnetic field, phase field, continuity equation, and momentum equation. Using the phase field method to capture the interface of two phases, the geometric deformation and dynamics of a pair of coaxial vertical rising bubbles under the applied uniform magnetic field in the vertical direction were investigated. The correctness of results is verified by mass conservation method and the comparison of the existing results. The results show that the applied uniform magnetic field can effectively shorten the distance between the leading bubble and the trailing bubble, the time of bubbles coalescence, and increase the velocity of bubbles coalescence. Within a certain range, as the intensity of the applied uniform magnetic field increases, the velocity of bubbles coalescence is proportional to the intensity of the magnetic field, and the time of bubbles coalescence is inversely proportional to the intensity of the magnetic field.

Random field effects on the anisotropic quantum Heisenberg model with Gaussian random magnetic field distribution

The effect of a zero-centered Gaussian random magnetic field distribution on the phase transition properties of the anisotropic quantum Heisenberg model has been investigated on a honeycomb lattice within the framework of effective field theory (EFT) for a two-spin cluster (which is abbreviated as EFT-2). Particular attention has been devoted to investigation of the effect of the anisotropy in the exchange interaction on a system with Gaussian random magnetic field distribution. The variation of the critical temperature with the randomness parameter (i.e., the width of the distribution) has been obtained for several anisotropy parameters. Critical Gaussian distribution width values, which make the critical temperature zero, have been obtained. Moreover, it has been concluded that all critical temperatures are of second order, and that reentrant behavior does not exist in the phase diagrams.

Dynamics of the generalized Glauber-Ising chain in a magnetic field

A one-dimensional kinetic Ising model with nearest neighbor interactionJ and magnetic fieldH 0 is treated in both linear and nonlinear response, using the most general single spin-flip transition probabilities that depend on nearest neighbor states only. The dynamics is reformulated in terms of kinetic equations for the concentration n_l ⁺(t) [@#@ n_l(t) of clusters containingl up- [or down-] spins, which is exact in the homogeneous case. The initial relaxation time ^* of the magnetization is obtained rigorously for arbitraryJ, H, and temperatureT. The relaxation function is found by numerical integration forJ/T < 2. It is shown that coagulation of minus-clusters becomes negligible for bothJ/T andH/T large, and the resulting set of equations is solved exactly in terms of an eigenvalue problem. A perturbation theory is developed to take into account the neglected coagulation terms. The relaxation function is found to be non-Lorentzian in general, in contrast to the Glauber results atH = 0, which are recovered as a special case. In addition, nonlinear and linear relaxation functions differ forH 0. Consequences for the application to biopolymers are briefly mentioned.Supported in part by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (SFB 130).

扫场对核磁共振测量的影响

在连续波核磁共振实验中，通常采用低频扫场产生重复再现的共振吸收信号。当处于磁场中的射频线圈引线回路等效面积不为零时，简谐扫场必然引起该闭合回路的磁通量变化，由此而产生同频简谐感生电动势并与核磁共振信号叠加共同构成振荡器输出信号。由于扫场上升和下降过程的感生电动势方向相反，从而扫场前半周和后半周所对应的共振吸收测量信号存在差异。实验结果表明：扫场强度及方向对核磁共振测量影响来源于实验测量技术缺陷，而非核磁共振的物理本质。     

Modelling the unsteady melt flow under a pulsed magnetic field

A numerical model for the unsteady flow under a pulsed magnetic field of a solenoid is developed, in which magnetohydrodynamic flow equations decouple into a transient magnetic diffusion equation and unsteady Navier–Stokes equations in conjunction with two equations of the k–ε turbulent model. A Fourier series method is used to implement the boundary condition of magnetic flux density under multiple periods of a pulsed magnetic field （PMF）. The numerical results are compared with the theoretical or experimental results to validate the model under a time-harmonic magnetic field; it is found that the toroidal vortex pair is the dominating structure within the melt flow under a PMF. The velocity field of a molten melt is in a quasi-steady state after several periods; changing the direction of the electromagnetic force causes the vibration of the melt surface under a PMF.
