Influence of a magnetic field on the light-induced ion drift

It is shown that the velocity component transverse to the radiation propagation direction can arise in the light-induced ion drift (LIID) after applying an external magnetic field to a weakly ionized gas. It is predicted that the projection of the ion drift velocity onto the radiation direction changes its sign with an increase in the magnetic field, resulting in the anomalous LIID.

Experimental observation of optical rotation generated in vacuum by a magnetic field

We report the experimental observation of a light polarization rotation in vacuum in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. Assuming that data distribution is Gaussian, the average measured rotation is (3.9 +/- 0.5) x 10(-12) rad/pass, at 5 T with 44 000 passes through a 1 m long magnet, with lambda = 1064 nm. The relevance of this result in terms of the existence of a light, neutral, spin-zero particle is discussed.     

Occurrence of particle debris field during focused Ga ion beam milling of glassy carbon

To explore the machining characteristics of glassy carbon by focused ion beam (FIB), particles induced by FIB milling on glassy carbon have been studied in the current work. Nano-sized particles in the range of tens of nanometers up to 400 nm can often be found around the area subject to FIB milling. Two ion beam scanning modes - slow single scan and fast repetitive scan - have been tested. Fewer particles are found in single patterns milled in fast repetitive scan mode. For a group of test patterns milled in a sequence, it was found that a greater number of particles were deposited around sites machined early in the sequence. In situ EDX analysis of the particles showed that they were composed of C and Ga. The formation of particles is related to the debris generated at the surrounding areas, the low melting point of gallium used as FIB ion source and the high contact angle of gallium on glassy carbon induces de-wetting of Ga and the subsequent formation of Ga particles. Ultrasonic cleaning can remove over 98% of visible particles. The surface roughness (R_a) of FIB milled areas after cleaning is less than 2 nm.     

Critical emission of two-dimensional electrons from a dielectric into vacuum induced by a nanosecond dense electron beam injected in the specimen

A theoretical model has been developed which describes the critical electron emission from a dielectric that is induced by an injected nanosecond-duration electron beam of moderate or high density. A numerical realization of the model has been constructed which describes the principal properties of the emission: the onset of the phenomenon as the density of the charge injected in the specimen reaches a certain value; the delay of the emission pulse relative to the exposure pulse, which may be as long as several tens of nanoseconds; the emission coefficient reaching unity, and the spatial nonuniformity of the emission.

Stationary self-consistent distributions for a charged particle beam in the longitudinal magnetic field

A review of analytical solutions of the Vlasov equation for a beam of charged particles is given. These results are analyzed on the basis of a unified approach developed by the authors. In the context of this method, a space of integrals of motion is introduced in which the integrals of motion of particles are considered as coordinates. In this case, specifying a self-consistent distribution is reduced to defining a distribution density in this space. This approach allows us to simplify the construction and analysis of different self-consistent distributions. In particular, it is possible, in some cases, to derive new solutions by considering linear combinations of well-known solutions. This approach also makes it possible in many cases to give a visual geometric representation of self-consistent distributions in the space of integrals of motion.

Correlation in the velocity of a Brownian particle induced by frictional anisotropy and magnetic field

We study the motion of charged Brownian particles in an external magnetic field. It is found that a correlation appears between the components of particle velocity in the case of anisotropic friction, approaching asymptotically zero in the stationary limit. If magnetic field is smaller compared to the critical value, determined by frictional anisotropy, the relaxation of the correlation is non-oscillating in time. However, in a larger magnetic field this relaxation becomes oscillating. The phenomenon is related to the statistical dependence of the components of transformed random force caused by the simultaneous influence of magnetic field and anisotropic dissipation.     

Influence of an external magnetic field on the threshold of multipactor onset on a dielectric surface

In this paper, we propose a theoretical model of the initial stage of development of a one-sided secondary-emission (multipactor) discharge on a dielectric surface. Consideration is based on a statistical method supported by an exact analytical solution for the transit-time distribution function of secondary electrons. The general integral equation allowing us to determine the stationary emission-phase distribution functions and the threshold of multiplicator onset in the presence of an external magnetic field is formulated. It is shown that the presence of an external magnetic field can significantly change the conditions of multipactor onset. It is found that the discharge-zone boundaries calculated within the framework of a statistical model are in qualitative agreement with the results obtained by the Monte-Carlo method. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Radiofizika, Vol. 50, No. 2, pp. 118–133, February 2007.     

Influence of a strong magnetic field on the hydrogen molecular ion using B-spline-type basis-sets

As an improvement on our previous work [J. Phys. B: At. Mol. Opt. Phys. 45 085101(2012)], an accurate method combining the spheroidal coordinates and B-spline basis is applied to study the ground state 1σg and low excited states1σu, 1πg,u, 1δg,u, 2σg of the H+2in magnetic fields ranging from 109Gs(1 Gs = 10-4T) to 4.414 × 1013 Gs. Comparing the one-center method used in our previous work, the present method has a higher precision with a shorter computing time.Equilibrium distances of the states of the H+2in strong magnetic fields were found to be accurate to 3~5 significant digits(s.d.) and the total energies 6~11 s.d., even for some antibonding state, such as 1πg, which is difficult for the one-center method to give reliable results while the field strength is B ≥ 1013 Gs. For the large disagreement in previous works, such as the equilibrium distances of the 1πg state at B = 109 Gs, the present data may be used as a reference. Further, the potential energy curves(PECs) and the electronic probability density distributions(EPDDs) of the bound states 1σg, 1πu, 1δg and antibonding states 1σu, 1πg, 1δu for B = 1, 10, 100, 1000 a.u.(atomic unit) are compared, so that the different influences of the magnetic fields on the chemical bonds of the bound states and antibonding states are discussed in detail.

Influence of bias magnetic field on the vacuum arc in double‐break vacuum circuit breakers

When double‐break vacuum circuit breakers (VCBs) interrupt the fault current, the series arc will generate their individual magnetic fields in different breaks. The magnetic field in one break will influence the arc in another break if the magnetic field is strong enough or the two breaks are very close. In this case, an interactive magnetic field effect happens. This field is also called the bias magnetic field (BMF). BMF can cause anode erosion and affect the performance at current zero. The distribution of BMF and the optimal configuration of the double‐break VCBs were obtained by the electromagnetic field simulation using the Ansoft Maxwell software. Based on the simulated magnetic field data, in the experiments, the interaction between the series vacuum arcs in double‐break VCBs was equivalent to the interaction between a single vacuum arc and the magnetic field generated by a Helmholtz coil. A high‐speed CMOS camera was used to record the trajectory of the vacuum arc plasma under different BMFs with different types of contacts. The results show the BMF can increase the arc voltage, and the arc becomes unstable. When the BMF becomes stronger, the arc voltage increases, and the arc becomes more unstable. In addition, for different types of contacts, the development process of the arc and the influence level are different under the same BMF. For a Wan‐type transverse magnetic field (TMF) contact or strong BMF, metal sputtering is evident and anode erosion becomes serious. For a cup‐type axial magnetic field (AMF) contact, the influence of BMF on the series arc plasma in double‐break VCBs is less than that of the Wan‐type TMF contact. The results of this work may be helpful for the design of compact double‐break VCBs.
