Quasistatic magnetic fields generated by a nonrelativistic intense laser pulse in uniform underdense plasma

Quasistatic magnetic fields generated by nonrelativistic intense linearly polarized (LP) and circularly polarized (CP) laser pulses in an initially uniform underdense plasma in the collision-dominated limit are investigated analytically. Using a selfconsistent analytical model, we perform a detailed derivation of quasistatic magnetic fields in the laser pulse envelope in the collision-dominated limit to obtain exact analytical expressions for magnetic fields and discuss the dependence of magnetic fields on laser and plasma parameters. Equations for quasistatic magnetic fields including both axial component B_z and the azimuthal one B_θ are derived simultaneously from such a selfconsistent model. The dependence of quasistatic magnetic field on incident laser intensity, transverse focused radius of laser pulse, electron density and electron temperature is discussed.     

Partial ordered homogeneous magnetic moments in the Hubbard-model

In this contribution, we study the behaviour of magnetically disordered electron systems. In a model with localized magnetic fields at the atomic sites, a CPA-like method, which has regard for the vector character of the fields, is used to examine the case where the localized fields, which correspond to atomic magnetic moments, are distributed statistically. In an example for a non-isotropic distribution of the fields, we construct a system state with partial homogeneous order of the localized fields (or moments). The ordering behaviour of the system and the comparison of the new magnetic state with pure magnetic and non-magnetic band states and with the non-magnetic state of (isotropic) stochastic distribution of the localized fields is discussed. With this paper we are able to introduce typical properties of localized models into a band model.Work supported in part by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft     

Magnetic Properties of an Antiferromagnetic Spin-1/2 XYZ Model in the Presence of Different Magnetic Fields: Finite-Size Effects of Inhomogeneity Property*

Magnetic and thermodynamic properties of the anisotropic XYZ spin-1/2 finite chain under both homogeneous and inhomogeneous magnetic fields are theoretically studied at low temperature. Using exact diagonalization method (ED), we study the magnetization, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat of the model characterized in terms of the finite correlation length in the presence of three different magnetic fields including longitudinal, transverse, and transverse staggered magnetic fields. The magnetization, susceptibility, and the specific heat of the model are investigated under two conditions separately: (i) When the model is putted in the presence of homogeneous magnetic fields. (ii) When finite inhomogeneities are considered for all applied magnetic fields in the Hamiltonian. We show that for the finite-size XYZ chains at low temperature, the evident magnetization plateaus gradually convert to their counterpart quasi-plateaus when the transverse magnetic field increases. Moreover, the influence of the transverse and staggered transverse magnetic fields, and their corresponding inhomogeneities on the magnetization process, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat are reported in detail. Our exact results illustrate that by altering the inhomogeneity parameters, magnetization plateaus gradually convert to their counterpart quasi-plateaus. The specific heat manifests Schottky-type maximum, double-peak, and triple-peak, as well as, transformation between them by varying considered inhomogeneity parameters in the Hamiltonian.     

A modified analytical model of the alkali-metal atomic magnetometer employing longitudinal carrier field

Alkali-metal atomic magnetometers employing longitudinal carrier magnetic field have ultrahigh sensitivity to measure transverse magnetic fields and have been applied in a variety of precise-measurement science and technologies. In practice, the magnetometer response is not rigorously proportional to the measured transverse magnetic fields and the existing fundamental analytical model of this magnetometer is effective only when the amplitudes of the measured fields are very small. In this paper, we present a modified analytical model to characterize the practical performance of the magnetometer more definitely. We find out how the longitudinal magnetization of the alkali metal atoms vary with larger transverse fields. The linear-response capacity of the magnetometer is determined by these factors: the amplitude and frequency of the longitudinal carrier field, longitudinal and transverse spin relaxation time of the alkali spins and rotation frequency of the transverse fields. We give a detailed and rigorous theoretical derivation by using the perturbation-iteration method and simulation experiments are conducted to verify the validity and correctness of the proposed modified model. This model can be helpful for measuring larger fields more accurately and configuring a desirable magnetometer with proper linear range.

Optical band gap width in GaAs in megagauss magnetic fields

The band gap width in GaAs in magnetic fields of up to 10 MG is calculated using a five-band kp model. The selection rules for interband electron transitions in strong magnetic fields are found, and the dependences of the interband transition probabilities on a magnetic field are calculated. The electronic spectra calculated in the five-band model are compared with those calculated in the Kane model and in the tight-coupling approximation. The calculations are shown to agree with experimental data if the contribution from the density-of-states tails and excitonic effects to light absorption is taken into account.     

Magnetic field generation in Rayleigh-Taylor unstable inertial confinement fusion plasmas

Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities (RTI) in inertial confinement fusion implosions are expected to generate magnetic fields. A Hall-MHD model is used to study the field generation by 2D single-mode and multimode RTI in a stratified two-fluid plasma. Self-generated magnetic fields are predicted and these fields grow as the RTI progresses via the ?n(e)×?T(e) term in the generalized Ohm's law. Scaling studies are performed to determine the growth of the self-generated magnetic field as a function of density, acceleration, Atwood number, and perturbation wavelength.     

Tuning the band gap of self-assembled superparamagnetic photonic crystals in colloidal magnetic fluids using external magnetic fields

The model of tunable superparamagnetic photonic crystals self-assembled in colloidal magnetic fluids under externally applied magnetic fields is established. The mechanisms, which are in charge of the tunability of the band gaps with magnetic fields are clarified. The band structures of the triangularly-arrayed two-dimensional photonic crystals with limited heights of magnetic columns are calculated with the experimental data of structures and refractive indices in the literatures. The field-dependent properties of the first band gaps are gained for the z-odd and z-even modes, respectively. Simulation results indicate that the mid frequencies of the first band gaps of the z-odd modes can be easily tuned by the external magnetic fields, while those of the z-even modes bear relatively weak dependence on the external magnetic fields. Simultaneously, the first band gaps of both kinds of modes become wide along with the increase of the magnetic fields. The results presented in this work give a guideline for realizing the tunable photonic crystals with magnetically colloidal materials and magnetic stimuli.

Effects of inhomogeneous magnetic fields on the electron transport through a quantum-wire system

The electron transport through a quantum-wire system in the presence of inhomogeneous magnetic fields is investigated theoretically. The system consists of two parallel quantum wires coupled by two ballistic windows, while the magnetic fields applied are uniform and equal in the two wires but vanishing in the two coupling windows and everywhere between the wires. Various transmissions of the system are calculated. It is found that the inhomogeneous magnetic fields induce irregular transmission oscillations in the low and moderate magnetic-field regions, and regular ones in the high field region. These transmission oscillations are due to interference between the electron waves traveling through different coupling windows and can be interpreted in terms of a semiclassical model. The Hall resistance of the system is also calculated and is found to show similar regular oscillations at high magnetic fields.

The results from investigating vinylpyrrolidone polymerization in aqueous solutions with different concentrations of monomer in aliphatic alcohols, aromatic hydrocarbon, and ester under the action of ionizing radiation with a quantum energy of 1.2 MeV and pulsed magnetic fields with a maximum magnetic induction value of 0.8 T and action frequency equal to 50 impulses per second are presented. The influence of γ irradiation and magnetic fields on polyethylene oxide crystallization processes is investigated. A mathematical model that consistently describes the influence of magnetic fields on the amplification of the gel formation process in polyvinylpyrrolidone and on the suppression of polyethylene oxide crystallization from the melt is proposed.     

Primordial magnetogenesis

Magnetic fields appear everywhere in the universe. From stars and galaxies, all the way to galaxy clusters and remote protogalactic clouds, magnetic fields of considerable strength and size have been repeatedly observed. Despite their widespread presence, however, the origin of cosmic magnetic fields is still a mystery. The galactic dynamo is believed capable of amplifying weak magnetic seeds to strengths like those measured in ours and other galaxies. But the question is where do these seed fields come from? Are they a product of late, post-recombination, physics or are they truly cosmological in origin? The idea of primordial magnetism is attractive because it makes the large-scale magnetic fields, especially those found in early protogalactic systems, easier to explain. As a result, a host of different scenarios have appeared in the literature. Nevertheless, early magnetogenesis is not problem-free, with a number of issues remaining open and a matter of debate. We review the question of the origin of primordial magnetic fields and consider the limits set on their strength by the current observational data. The various mechanisms of pre-recombination magnetogenesis are presented and their advantages and shortcomings are debated. We consider both classical and quantum scenarios, that operate within as well as outside the standard model, and also discuss how future observations could be used to decide whether the large-scale magnetic fields we see in the universe today are truly primordial or not.     

Bipartite and Tripartite Entanglement in a Three-Qubit Heisenberg Model

The bipartite and tripartite entanglement in a three-qubit Heisenberg XY model with a nonuniformmagnetic field is studied. There are two or four peaks in the concurrence of the bipartite entanglement when the amplitudes of the magnetic fields are differently distributed between the three qubits. It is very interesting to note that there is no tangle of tripartite entanglement between the three qubits when the amplitudes of the magnetic fields are varied. However, the variation of the magnetic field direction can induce the tangle. The tangle is periodic about the angle between the magnetic field and the z axis of the spin.     

Forward and inverse problem for cardiac magnetic field and electric potential using two boundary element methods

This paper discusses the forward and inverse problem for cardiac magnetic fields and electric potentials.A torso-heart model established by boundary element method(BEM) is used for studying the distributions of cardiac magnetic fields and electric potentials.Because node-to-node and triangle-to-triangle BEM can lead to discrepant field distributions,their properties and influences are compared.Then based on constructed torso-heart model and supposed current source functional model-current dipole array,the magnetic and electric imaging by optimal constrained linear inverse method are applied at the same time.Through figure and reconstructing parameter comparison,though the magnetic current dipole array imaging possesses better reconstructing effect,however node-to-node BEM and triangleto-triangle BEM make little difference to magnetic and electric imaging.     

Maximizing Thermal Entanglement of XY Model Using Site-Dependent Magnetic Fields in Specific Directions

We study the thermal entanglement by means of concurrence in a two-qubit isotropic XY model in the presence of site-dependent external magnetic fields in arbitrary directions. We find that at a given temperature and magnetic field strength, the mirror symmetry of the two fields about the x-y plane is a necessary condition for maximum entanglement. However, if there is no constraint on the field strengths, then the necessary condition for maximum entanglement reduces to the configuration that the two fields are vertical, anti-parallel and with the same strength. We also investigate the anisotropic XY model and find that the above conclusion more or less holds.     

Towards Faster FEM Simulation of Thermo-Electromagnetic Properties of HTS Bulk in Travelling Magnetic Fields Using a Novel Approach北大核心CSCD

A detailed knowledge about the thermal and electromagnetic properties of high-temperature superconducting (HTS) bulk subject to travelling magnetic fields is crucial for their performance improvement in the electric machines. We proposed a novel approach to calculate the electromagnetic and temperature distribution without compromising to the precision. Temperature-dependent modeling of the HTS bulk subject to the travelling magnetic fields generated by a conventional copper-based stator is built. The model is characterized by the nonlinearE-J power law of superconducting material and H-formulation to analyze the effect of frequency and amplitude of travelling magnetic fields on equilibrium temperature inside the HTS bulk and its thermo-electromagnetic phenomena involving electromagnetic fields and temperature field distributions are also calculated. Last, we compared both results of the novel approach and conventional one considerate all geometry including HTS bulk, copper windings, iron core and air to verify our proposed model.

Behavior of neutrinos in stochastic magnetic fields

If massive neutrinos possess magnetic moments, they can undergo spin flip in a magnetic field. The magnetic fields needed for a meaningful measurement of neutrino moments could be very high and may occur in astronomical objects such as some supernovae or active galactic nuclei: they are typically chaotic ones. We develop the general theory of the passage of neutrinos through such fields. We also develop a simple model which becomes solvable in the high energy limit. Both helicities occur with equal probability, independently of the initial distribution. Observational consequences are discussed.     

A model of the solar magnetic cycle with a meridian stream closed inside the convective zone

A dynamo model of the solar cycle suggesting a relatively new mechanism for generation of poloidal magnetic fields is studied. This model considers the meridian motion in which the material rises at the equator and sinks at the poles and allows the magnetic fields from the solar surface to be transferred to the generation layer at the base of the convective zone. In addition to the surface stream of material and large-scale magnetic field from the equator to the poles, we assume the looping of a new poloidal magnetic field near the poles. At the base of the convective zone, thin meridian streams transfer the end of that loop from the poles to the equator. The loop consists of poloidal fields on the top and at the bottom of the stream near the base of the convective zone. Thus, new poloidal magnetic fields, which are opposite in sign to the poloidal fields of the current solar cycle, are generated in the depth of the convective zone. New poloidal fields on the top of the stream become the fields of a new 11-year cycle. At the bottom of the meridian stream, the direction of the poloidal magnetic field is the same as the direction of the poloidal field of the current solar cycle. The lifetime of the deep-seated poloidal field is much longer than 11 years, due to the motion of the material which keeps it from rising too rapidly. The meridian loop of the subsequent solar cycle has a poloidal field opposite in direction to the poloidal field at the base of the convective zone. This counterbalances the poloidal field at the bottom of the meridian stream. The numerical model calculates the magnetic fields in the surface and bottom layers of the convective zone.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Radiofizika, Vol. 39, No. 10, pp. 1187–1193, October, 1996.This work was supported in part by the Russian Foundation for Fundamental Research under Grant No. 93-0217133 and the International Science Foundation under ISF Grant No. JB5100.
