Photoelectric polarization measurements in a stable sunspot (type H) with a particularly dark umbra, where ‘umbral dots’ were virtually lacking, have been carried out with the Capri magnetograph. The measurements were evaluated in terms of Unno's theory to give the value and direction of the magnetic field vector. The parameters η0 = 5, β0 = 2.5 and ΔλD = 40mÅ have been adopted for the Fe I 5250 line. Taking the configuration of the sunspot into account as well as simple conditions of steadiness of the distributions to be obtained, it is possible to derive the magnetic vector field from two-dimensional records of circular and linear polarization without ambiguities.

This paper is a preliminary account of the calculation of the circularly polarized synchrotron radiation received from a distribution of electricallycharged particles confined to a thin shell in the magnetic field of a dipole. Calculations of the total radiation and the degree of linear polarization have previously been carried out, and these calculations are duplicated in part.

In this paper, the magnetic fields end-face effect of high temperature superconducting (HTS) bulk over a permanent magnetic guideway (PMG) is researched with 3D-modeling numerical method. The electromagnetic behavior of the bulk is simulated using finite element method (FEM). The framework is formulated by the magnetic field vector method (H-method). A superconducting levitation system composed of one rectangular HTS bulk and one infinite long PMG is successfully investigated using the proposed method. The simulation results show that for finite geometrical HTS bulk, even the applied magnetic field is only distributed in [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] plane, the magnetic field component Hz which is along the [Formula: see text]-axis can be observed interior the HTS bulk.


The first part of the paper is a physical discussion of the way in which a magnetic field affects the stability of a fluid in motion. Particular emphasis is given to how the magnetic field affects the interaction of the disturbance with the mean motion. The second part is an analysis of the stability of plane parallel flows of fluids with finite viscosity and conductivity under the action of uniform parallel magnetic fields. We show that, in general, three-dimensional disturbances are the most unstable, thus disagreeing with the conclusion of Michael (1953) and Stuart (1954). We show how results obtained for two-dimensional disturbances can be used to calculate the most unstable three-dimensional disturbances and thence we prove that a parallel magnetic field can never completely stabilize a parallel flow.

We complete the analysis of the band functions for two-dimensional magnetic Schrödinger operators with piecewise constant magnetic fields. The discontinuity of the magnetic field can create edge currents that flow along the discontinuity, which have been described by physicists. Properties of these edge currents are directly related to the behavior of the band functions. The effective potential of the fiber operator is an asymmetric double well (eventually degenerated) and the analysis of the splitting of the bands incorporates the asymmetry. If the magnetic field vanishes, the reduced operator has essential spectrum and we provide an explicit description of the band functions located below the essential spectrum. For non-degenerate magnetic steps, we provide an asymptotic expansion of the band functions at infinity. We prove that when the ratio of the two magnetic fields is rational, a splitting of the band functions occurs and has a natural order, predicted by numerical computations.

Beam-generated magnetic fields strongly influence the behavior of relativistic electron guns. Existing methods used in ray-tracing codes have limited accuracy and may not correctly represent nonlaminar beams. We describe a technique for the magnetic field calculation in a two-dimensional code based on the assignment of particle currents to the faces of elements in the mesh used for the electrostatic calculation. The balanced calculation of electric and magnetic forces in the same iteration cycle reduces the possibility of numerical filamentation instabilities. With simple rules of assignment on boundary faces, the method also handles field contributions of electrode currents. Several benchmark calculations performed on conformal meshes illustrate the versatility of the technique.

In this paper, we study the influence of acoustic and magnetic fields on the propagation of twodimensional light bullet in an array of carbon nanotubes. The acoustic field is taken into account in the framework of the gauge theory. A magnetic field is applied along the nanotube axis and leads to a change in the electronic spectrum of ?electrons. It is shown, that the pulse stably propagates in the medium, taking into account both of these factors. In this case, the magnetic field and tension slows down the pulse, as well as changes its amplitude.

Context. The role of magnetic fields in the chromospheric heating problem remains greatly unconstrained. Most theoretical predictions from numerical models rely on a magnetic configuration, field strength, and connectivity; the details of which have not been well established with observational studies for many chromospheric scenarios. High-resolution studies of chromospheric magnetic fields in plage are very scarce or non existent in general. Aims. Our aim is to study the stratification of the magnetic field vector in plage regions. Previous studies predict the presence of a magnetic canopy in the chromosphere that has not yet been studied with full-Stokes observations. We use high-spatial resolution full-Stokes observations acquired with the CRisp Imaging Spectro-Polarimeter (CRISP) at the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope in the Mg I 5173 Å, Na I 5896 Å and Ca II 8542 Å lines. Methods. We have developed a spatially-regularized weak-field approximation (WFA) method, based on the idea of spatial regularization. This method allows for a fast computation of magnetic field maps for an extended field of view. The fidelity of this new technique has been assessed using a snapshot from a realistic 3D magnetohydrodynamics simulation. Results. We have derived the depth-stratification of the line-of-sight component of the magnetic field from the photosphere to the chromosphere in a plage region. The magnetic fields are concentrated in the intergranular lanes in the photosphere and expand horizontally toward the chromosphere, filling all the space and forming a canopy. Our results suggest that the lower boundary of this canopy must be located around 400 − 600 km from the photosphere. The mean canopy total magnetic field strength in the lower chromosphere (z ≈ 760 km) is 658 G. At z = 1160 km, we estimate ⟨B∥⟩ ≈ 417 G. Conclusions. In this study we propose a modification to the WFA that improves its applicability to data with a worse signal-to-noise ratio. We have used this technique to study the magnetic properties of the hot chromospheric canopy that is observed in plage regions. The methods described in this paper provide a quick and reliable way of studying multi layer magnetic field observations without the many difficulties inherent to other inversion methods.

AbstractAn active region filament in the upper chromosphere is studied using spectropolarimetric data in He i 10830 Å from the GREGOR telescope. A Milne-Eddingon based inversion of the Unno-Rachkovsky equations is used to retrieve the velocity and the magnetic field vector of the region. The plasma velocity reaches supersonic values closer to the feet of the filament barbs and coexist with a slow velocity component. Such supersonic velocities result from the acceleration of the plasma as it drains from the filament spine through the barbs. The line-of-sight magnetic fields have strengths below 200 G in the filament spine and in the filament barbs where fast downflows are located, their strengths range between 100 - 700 G.

The influence of magnetic fields on the electron spin in solids involves two basic mechanisms. First, any magnetic field introduces the Zeeman splitting of electron states, thereby modifying spin precession. Second, since the magnetic field affects the electron motion in the plane perpendicular to the field, the spin dynamics is also modified, owing to the spin-orbit interaction. The theory predicts, as a consequence of this influence, unusual properties of the intrinsic spin-Hall effect in two-dimensional systems in the presence of magnetic fields. This paper describes non-monotonic dependence of the spin-Hall conductivity on the magnetic field and its enhancement in the case of weak disorder, as well as multiple jumps of the spin-Hall conductivity owing to the topological transitions (abrupt changes of the Berry phase) induced by the parallel magnetic field.

Two-dimensional negative donor ion in magnetic fields are investigated. Using a variational method, we calculated the binding energies of D- center for the spin-triplet states of L = -2 and L = -3 in this structure. The threshold values of the magnetic field which turn unbound state into bound state were obtained.
