The Magnetic Field

Abstract. Field-aligned beams are known to originate from the quasi-perpendicular side of the Earth's bow shock, while the diffuse ion population consists of accelerated ions at the quasi-parallel side of the bow shock. The two distinct ion populations show typical characteristics in their velocity space distributions. By using particle and magnetic field measurements from one Cluster spacecraft we present a case study when the two ion populations are observed simultaneously in the foreshock region during a high Mach number, high solar wind velocity event. We present the spatial-temporal evolution of the field-aligned beam ion distribution in front of the Earth's bow shock, focusing on the processes in the deep foreshock region, i.e. on the quasi-parallel side. Our analysis demonstrates that the scattering of field-aligned beam (FAB) ions combined with convection by the solar wind results in the presence of lower-energy, toroidal gyrating ions at positions deeper in the foreshock region which are magnetically connected to the quasi-parallel bow shock. The gyrating ions are superposed onto a higher energy diffuse ion population. It is suggested that the toroidal gyrating ion population observed deep in the foreshock region has its origins in the FAB and that its characteristics are correlated with its distance from the FAB, but is independent on distance to the bow shock along the magnetic field.

Turbulent Cascade

Crossing the Earth’s bow shock is known to crucially affect solar wind plasma including changes in turbulent cascade. The present review summarizes results of more than 15 years of experimental exploration into magnetosheath turbulence. Great contributions to understanding turbulence development inside the magnetosheath was made by means of recent multi-spacecraft missions. We introduce the main results provided by them together with first observations of the turbulent cascade based on direct plasma measurements by the Spektr-R spacecraft in the magnetosheath. Recent results on solar wind effects on turbulence in the magnetosheath are also discussed.

AbstractThe positive magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in the vicinity of the Curie point in Ni2+xMn1-xGa (x=0.33, 0.36, 0.39) Heusler alloys and the negative and positive MCE near the metamagnetostructural (MMS) transition and the Curie point, respectively, in Ni45Co5Mn36.5In13.5 Heusler alloy has been measured by a direct method. For the magnetic field change ΔH = 2 T, the maximal adiabatic temperature change ΔTad at the Curie point in Ni2+xMn1-xGa alloys is larger than 0.6 K. For Ni45Co5Mn36.5In13.5 alloy, the maximal value of ΔTad = 1.68 K (for the same magnetic field change, ΔH = 2 T) is observed at the MMS phase transition temperature.

Abstract. Taking into account the pressure anisotropy in the solar wind, we study the magnetic field and plasma parameters downstream of a fast shock, as functions of upstream parameters and downstream pressure anisotropy. In our theoretical approach, we model two cases: a) the perpendicular shock and b) the oblique shock. We use two threshold conditions of plasma instabilities as additional equations to bound the range of pressure anisotropy. The criterion of the mirror instability is used for pressure anisotropy p \\perp /p\\parrallel > 1. Analogously, the criterion of the fire-hose instability is taken into account for pressure anisotropy p \\perp /p\\parrallel < 1. We found that the variations of the parallel pressure, the parallel temperature, and the tangential component of the velocity are most sensitive to the pressure anisotropy downstream of the shock. Finally, we compare our theory with plasma and magnetic field parameters measured by the WIND spacecraft.

The liquid quenched Gd3Ni alloy is observed to exhibit a ferromagnetic behavior below TC = 117 K unlike crystalline compound having an antiferromagnetic order at T < TN = 99 K. Rapid quenching from the melt results in a considerable enhancement of the magnetocaloric effect in Gd3Ni at low magnetic fields. The maximal value of the isothermal magnetic entropy change at a magnetic field change of 20 kOe for the amorphous Gd3Ni surpasses by more than 8 times the SM value for the polycrystalline counterpart. The relative cooling power for the amorphous Gd3Ni alloy is estimated as 265 J kg-1 and 676 J kg-1 at a magnetic field change of 20 kOe and 50 kOe, respectively.
