Abstract The effect of static and alternating magnetic fields on the conformation of nucleoids in cells of different types is considered. The model of slow and nonuniform rotation of the charged DNA domain is used. An equation is obtained for the resonance frequencies of the alternating magnetic field.

AbstractWe report the magneto-conductivity analysis of Bi2Se3 single crystal at different temperatures in a magnetic field range of ± 14 T. The single crystals are grown by the self-flux method and characterized through X-ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy, and Raman Spectroscopy. The single crystals show magnetoresistance (MR%) of around 380% at a magnetic field of 14 T and a temperature of 5 K. The Hikami–Larkin–Nagaoka (HLN) equation has been used to fit the magneto-conductivity (MC) data. However, the HLN fitted curve deviates at higher magnetic fields above 1 T, suggesting that the role of surface-driven conductivity suppresses with an increasing magnetic field. This article proposes a speculative model comprising of surface-driven HLN and added quantum diffusive and bulk carriers-driven classical terms. The model successfully explains the MC of the Bi2Se3 single crystal at various temperatures (5–200 K) and applied magnetic fields (up to 14 T).

We have investigated the α–T3 model in the presence of a mass term which opens a gap in the energy dispersive spectrum, as well as under a uniform perpendicular quantizing magnetic field. The gap opening mass term plays the role of Zeeman splitting at low magnetic fields for this pseudospin-1 system, and, as a consequence, we are able to compare physical properties of the the α–T3 model at low and high magnetic fields. Specifically, we explore the magnetoplasmon dispersion relation in these two extreme limits. Central to the calculation of these collective modes is the dielectric function which is determined by the polarizability of the system. This latter function is generated by transition energies between subband states, as well as the overlap of their wave functions.

The magnetic Ap stars are characterized by the presence of large magnetic fields which undergo periodic variations. These magnetic field variations are accompanied by spectral variations caused by the inhomogeneous distribution of elements on the stellar surface. It is believed that the magnetic field plays an important role in determining this distribution. Accurate maps of the surface distribution of elements would provide valuable probes as to the field geometry as well as provide clues to the role of the magnetic fields in the atmospheres of these stars. We have developed a new technique for mapping the local equivalent width on a stellar surface from the observed spectral line variations.

AbstractThe star-formation process is an outstanding and largely unsolved problem in astrophysics. The role of magnetic fields is unclear but is widely considered to be important at all stages of protostellar evolution, from cloud collapse to ZAMS. For example, in some hydromagnetic models, the field may assist in removing angular momentum, thereby driving accretion and perhaps bipolar outflows.Spectropolarimetry between 8 and 13μm provides information on the direction of the transverse component of a magnetic field through the alignment of dust grains. We present results of 8–13μm spectropolarimetric observations of a number of bipolar molecular outflow sources, and compare the field directions observed with the axes of the outflows and putative disk-like structures observed to be associated with some of the objects. There is a strong correlation, though so far with limited statistics, between the magnetic field and disk orientations. We compare our results with magnetic field configurations predicted by current models for hydromagnetically driven winds from the disks around Young Stellar Objects (YSOs). Our results appear to argue against the Pudritz and Norman model and instead seem to support the Uchida and Shibata model.

The convection in a compressible inhomogeneous conducting fluid in the presence of a vertical uniform magnetic field has been studied. It is shown that a new mode of oscillatory convection occurs, which exists in arbitrarily strong magnetic fields. The convective cells are stretched along the magnetic field, their horizontal dimensions are determined by radiative cooling. Criteria for convective instability in a polytropic atmosphere are obtained for various boundary conditions in the case when the Alfvén velocity is higher compared with the velocity of sound.The role of oscillatory convection in the origin of sunspots and active regions is discussed.

AbstractThe reversed polarity structures of chromospheric magnetic fields are magnetic gulfs and islands of opposite polarity relative to the underlying photospheric fields. In this paper data were analyzed from the Solar Magnetic Field Telescope of the Huairou Solar Observing Station (HSOS) in Beijing. From more than 300 pairs of photospheric magnetograms (in FeI λ5324.19 Å) and relevant chromospheric magnetograms (in Hβλ4861.34 Å), the reality of the reversed polarity structures is demonstrated. According to an analysis of the fine structures of the magnetic fields in the two layers of active regions, we found that there are probably four different types.


The induction of eddy currents in metal plates which are subjected to alternating magnetic fields has been discussed by Clerk-Maxwell, J. J. Thomson and many others. When an alternating magnetic field is produced normal to the surface of a metal plate, eddy currents are induced at the surface of the plate, which gradually penetrate its interior, the current dying away as it penetrates more deeply into the metal. The diffusion of the currents into the plate depends upon the self-induction and resistance of the paths along which they flow, and can be calculated by the same kind of formula as is used for determining the conduction of heat through a metal slab.

Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate the impact of a rotating magnetic field (RMF) on cellular and biochemical properties of Gluconacetobacter xylinus during the process of cellulose synthesis by these bacteria. The application of the RMF during bacterial cellulose (BC) production intensified the biochemical processes in G. xylinus as compared to the RMF-unexposed cultures. Moreover, the RMF had a positive impact on the growth of cellulose-producing bacteria. Furthermore, the application of RMF did not increase the number of mutants unable to produce cellulose. In terms of BC production efficacy, the most favorable properties were found in the setting where RMF generator was switched off for the first 72 h of cultivation and switched on for the further 72 h. The results obtained can be used in subsequent studies concerning the optimization of BC production using different types of magnetic fields including RMF, especially.
