Abstract In this paper, we give a systematic theoretical study on the Landau levels (LLs) and magneto-optical conductivity Re(σαα) in a gapped Dirac semimetal model with mixed linear and parabolic dispersions under a magnetic field, which was recently proposed by Jiang et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 046403 (2020)] to explain the experimental magnetoinfrared spectroscopy in the three-dimensional ZrTe5 crystal. We find that the strong magnetic field can drive the LLs become noninverted and thus the strong topological insulator phase in ZrTe5 turns to be a trivial insulator. In the different magnetic field regions, the density of states and Re(σαα) can exhibit distinct signatures. Moreover, when the magnetic field is weak, a qualitative relation in Re(σzz) between the peaks at the saddle points is revealed as Re(σzz ζn) >Re(σzz Γ) , which is in good agreement with the experiment.

The article considers the oscillations of interband magneto-optical absorption in semiconductors with the Kane dispersion law. We have compared the changes in oscillations of the joint density of states with respect to the photon energy for different Landau levels in parabolic and non-parabolic zones. An analytical expression is obtained for the oscillation of the combined density of states in narrow-gap semiconductors. We have calculated the dependence of the maximum photon energy on the magnetic field at different temperatures. A theoretical study of the band structure showed that the magnetoabsorption oscillations decrease with an increase in temperature, and the photon energies nonlinearly depend on a strong magnetic field. The article proposes a simple method for calculating the oscillation of joint density of states in a quantizing magnetic field with the non-quadratic dispersion law. The temperature dependence of the oscillations joint density of states in semiconductors with non-parabolic dispersion law is obtained. Moreover, the article studies the temperature dependence of the band gap in a strong magnetic field with the non-quadratic dispersion law. The method is applied to the research of the magnetic absorption in narrow-gap semiconductors with nonparabolic dispersion law. It is shown that as the temperature increases, Landau levels are washed away due to thermal broadening and density of states turns into a density of states without a magnetic field. Using the mathematical model, the temperature dependence of the density distribution of energy states in strong magnetic fields is considered. It is shown that the continuous spectrum of the density of states, measured at the temperature of liquid nitrogen, at low temperatures turns into discrete Landau levels. Mathematical modeling of processes using experimental values of the continuous spectrum of the density of states makes it possible to calculate discrete Landau levels. We have created the three-dimensional fan chart of magneto optical oscillations of semiconductors with considering for the joint density of energy states. For a nonquadratic dispersion law, the maximum frequency of the absorbed light and the width of the forbidden band are shown to depend nonlinearly on the magnetic field. Modeling the temperature  dependence allowed us to determine the Landau levels in semiconductors in a wide temperature spectrum. Using the proposed model, the experimental results obtained for narrow-gap semiconductors are analyzed. The theoretical results are compared with experimental results.

We consider the magnetic Schrödinger operator on R2. The magnetic field is the sum of a homogeneous magnetic field and periodically varying pointlike magnetic fields on a lattice. We shall give a sufficient condition for each Landau level to be an infinitely degenerated eigenvalue. This condition is also necessary for the lowest Landau level. In the threshold case, we see that the spectrum near the lowest Landau level is purely absolutely continuous. Moreover, we shall give an estimate for the density of states for Landau levels and their gaps. The proof is based on the method of Geyler and Šťovíček, the magnetic Bloch theory, and canonical commutation relations.

Abstract Magnetic field assisted welding could suppress defects and improve weld bead properties obviously. In this paper, a full factorial experiment with coaxial magnetic field assisted welding was conducted to study the mechanism of the magnetic field on the dissimilar laser wire feed welding brazing profile of aluminum and copper. Furthermore, a three dimensional numerical simulation model was developed to reveal the influence of the magnetic field on the weld bead. It was found that with the magnetic flux density increase from 10 mT to 50 mT, the properties of the weld bead were improved significantly, and the wetting angle decreased from 53°to 26°, the main fluid flow direction of the weld bead changed in to horizontal direction. Meanwhile, EDS and XRD results showed that the main intermetallic compounds (IMC) of Al2Cu and CuZn composition changed to Al4.2Cu3.2Zn0.7 in welding beads. Computed and measured distortions illustrated good agreement in the fusion zone.

A detailed theoretical study of the sample dependence of the Density of States (DOS) in a strong and transverse magnetic field is presented for AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunctions and for low-temepratures. The DOS is calculated self-consistently by including electron interactions with background and remote impurities and with deformation-potential and piezoelectric acoustic-phonons. The Landau-level (LL) mixing and the energy shift are taken into account. A significant background DOS between different LL’s results from remote-impurity scattering, and it can be observed for a heterojunction sample with: (1) a relatively low-mobility; (2) the low background impurity concentration; (3) an intermediate spacer distance; and (4) a large spin g-factor. The background DOS decreases with increasing magnetic field and/or electron energy. Applying the self-consistent DOS to the calculation of the thermodynamic quantities such as specific heat, a very good agreement with the experimental results is found.

ABSTRACTThe magnetic field profile of an electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) microwave plasma was systematically altered to determine subsequent effects on a-Si:H film quality. Films of a-Si:H were deposited at pressures of 0.7 mTorr and 5 mTorr with a H2/SiH4 ratio of approximately three. The mobility gap density of states ND, deposition rate and light to dark conductivity were determined for the a-Si:H films. This data was correlated to the magnetic field profile of the plasma, which was characterized by Langmuir probe measurements of the ion current density. By variation of the magnetic field profile ND could be altered by more than an order of magnitude, from 1×1016 to 1×1017 at 0.7 mTorr and 1×1016 to 5×1017 at 5 mTorr. Two deposition regimes were found to occur for the conditions of this study. Highly divergent magnetic fields resulted in poor quality a-Si:H, while for magnetic field profiles defining a more highly confined plasma, the a-Si:H was of device quality and relatively independent of the magnetic field configuration.

According to Van Gelder the microwave absorption by a thin metal film in the presence of a static magnetic field normal to the film contains a series of peaks as the magnetic field is varied. In the present paper it is argued that these peaks correspond to Doppler-shifted cyclotron resonances of the carriers in the metal due to the quantization of electron momenta normal to the plane of the film. A simple quantum calculation is presented for the case of free electrons where the film is thin enough that to first order the microwave fields within are determined only by the boundary conditions and Maxwell's equations. The quantum expression is in good agreement with the absorption calculated using semiclassical arguments which can be readily extended to more complicated Fermi surfaces.

We investigate the behaviour of the plasma parameters in the magnetosheath in a case when Interball-1 satellite stayed in the magnetosheath, crossing the tail magnetopause. In our analysis we apply the numerical magnetosheath-magnetosphere model as a theoretical tool. The bow shock and the magnetopause are self-consistently determined in the process of the solution. The flow in the magnetosheath is governed by the Euler equations of compressible ideal gas. The magnetic field in the magnetosphere is calculated by a variant of the Tsyganenko model, modified to account for an asymmetric magnetopause. Also, the magnetopause currents in Tsyganenko model are replaced by numericaly calulated ones. Measurements from WIND spacecraft are used as a solar wind monitor. The results demonstrate a good agreement between the model-calculated and measured values of the parameters under investigation.

Magnetic fields play a major role in the general dynamics of astronomical phenomena and particularly in the process of star formation. The magnetic field strength in galactic molecular clouds is of the order of few tens of μG. On a smaller scale, OH masers exhibit fields of the order of mG and these can probably be taken as representative of the magnetic field in the dense regions surrounding protostars. The OH molecule has been shown to emit highly circular and linearly polarized radiation. That it was indeed the action of the magnetic field that would give rise to the highly polarized spectrum of OH has been shown by the VLBI observations of Zeeman pairs of the 1720 and 6035 MHz by Lo et. al. and Moran et. al. VLBI observations of W3 (OH) revealed that the OH emission was coming from numerous discrete locations and that all spots fell within the continuum contours of the compact HII region. The most detailed VLBI aperture synthesis experiment of the 1665 MHz emission from W3 (OH) was carried out by Reid et. al. who found several Zeeman pairs and a characteristic maser clump size of 30 mas. In this work, we report the results of a 5 station VLBI aperture synthesis experiment of the 1665 MHz OH emission from W3 (OH) with full polarization information. We produced VLBI synthesis maps of all Stokes parameters of 16 spectral features that showed elliptical polarization. The magnitude and direction of the magnetic field have been obtained by the detection of 7 Zeeman pairs. The three dimensional orientation of the magnetic field can be obtained, following the theoretical arguments of Goldreich et. al., from the observation of π and σ components.

An approach is proposed to carry out multivariate calculations of the magnetic field distribution in the working gaps of a plate polygradient matrix of an electromagnetic separator, based on a combination of the advantages of two- and three-dimensional computer modeling. Two-dimensional geometric models of computational domains are developed, which differ in the geometric dimensions of the plate matrix elements and working air gaps. To determine the vector magnetic potential at the boundaries of two-dimensional computational domains, a computational 3D experiment is carried out. For this, three variants of the electromagnetic separator are selected, which differ in the size of the working air gaps of the polygradient matrices. For them, three-dimensional computer models are built, the spatial distribution of the magnetic field in the working intervals of the electromagnetic separator matrix and the obtained numerical values of the vector magnetic potential at the boundaries of the computational domains are investigated. The determination of the values of the vector magnetic potential for all other models is carried out by interpolation. The obtained values of the vector magnetic potential are used to set the boundary conditions in a computational 2D experiment. An approach to the choice of a rational version of a lamellar matrix is substantiated, which provides a solution to the problem according to the criterion of the effective area of the working area. Using the method of simple enumeration, a variant of the structure of a polygradient matrix with rational geometric parameters is selected. The productivity of the electromagnetic separator with rational geometric parameters of the matrix increased by 3–5 % with the same efficiency of extraction of ferromagnetic inclusions in comparison with the basic version of the device
