The present work incorporates a modified Q-state Monte Carlo (Potts) model to evaluate two-dimensional annealing of representative paramagnetic and diamagnetic polycrystalline materials in the presence of a magnetic field. Anisotropies in grain boundary energy, caused by differences in grain orientation (texturing), and the presence of an external magnetic field are examined in detail. In the former case, the Read–Shockley equations are used, in which grain boundary energies are computed using a low-angle misorientation approximation. In the latter case, magnetic anisotropy is simulated based on the relative orientation between the principal grain axis and the external magnetic field vector. Among other findings, the results of texture development subject to a magnetic field showed an increasing orientation distribution function (ODF) asymmetry over time, with higher intensities favoring the grains with principal axes most closely aligned with the magnetic field direction. The magnetic field also tended to increase the average grain size, which was accompanied by a corresponding decrease in the total grain boundary energy.

The selective abnormal grain growth (AGG) of Goss grains in Fe-3%Si steel was investigated using a parallel Monte-Carlo (MC) simulation based on the new concept of sub-boundary enhanced solid-state wetting. Goss grains with low angle sub-boundaries will induce solid-state wetting against matrix grains with a moderate variation in grain boundary energy. Three-dimensional MC simulations of microstructure evolution with textures and grain boundary distributions matched to experimental data is using in this study.

We study the behavior of the confining flux tube in Nf = 2 + 1 QCD at the physical point, discretized with the stout smearing improved staggered quark action and the tree level Symazik gauge action. We discuss how it depends on a uniform external magnetic field, showing how it displays anisotropies with respect to the magnetic field direction. Moreover, we compare the observed anisotropy pattern with that of the static quark-antiquark (QQ̅) potential we obtained in [1, 2].

When an external magnetic field is applied to a magnetic fluid, some of the colloidal particles coagulate and form chain-like clusters. Properties of ultrasonic propagation wave are changed by these chain-like clusters. We carried out measurement of the ultrasonic propagation velocity in a magnetic fluid. Measurement were made by changing the magnetic field intensity from 0 mT to 570 mT, and the angle between the magnetic field direction and direction of the ultrasound propagation from 0° to 180°. The ultrasound frequencies were 1 MHz, 2 MHz and 4 MHz. Some of experimental results for the characteristics of ultrasound propagation in a magnetic fluid under a uniform magnetic field were reported.

In this paper, the effect of grain boundary energy in AZ31 Mg alloy with multi-order parameters phenomenological phase field model has been discussed during the progress of recrystallization. The average grain size of the recrystallization grain at a certain temperature and a certain restored energy but various grain boundary energies have been studied, and the simulated results show that the larger the grain boundary energy is, the larger the average grain size will be, and the speed of grain growth will increase with the increase of grain boundary energy. Additionally, temperature will also increase the grain growth rate.

The Hall resistance hysteresis loops in thin (d = 80 –280 nm) magnetically ordered permalloy films (Ni0.8 Fe0.2) were studied at room temperature at different angles between the film plane and the magnetic field direction (φ = 0 –360°) (extraordinary and ordinary Hall effects), at different angles (θ = 0 – 90°) between the magnetic field direction and the flowing current (planar Hall effect at φ = 0°) in a magnetic field up to B = 1.25 T. The thin films were obtained on sitall dielectric substrate by ion beam sputtering. Sharp peaks of the Hall resistance were observed in the extraordinary and planar Hall effects during the magnetisation reversal of the films due to a change of the magnetisation direction with respect to the sampling current direction. In the extraordinary Hall effect the position and full width at half maximum of a peak is determined by the angle between the magnetic field direction and the film plane. It has been shown that as the direction of the external magnetic field approaches the spontaneous magnetisation direction, both the peak magnetic field position Bp and the full width at half maximum of the peak Δ Bp increase. In the angles range of φ = 0 – 90° Bp and Δ  Bp varies in the magnetic field range from Δ  В ≈ 0.2 to 5.0 mT. A non-monotonic dependence of the planar Hall resistance and its peak position on the angle between the flowing current and the magnetic field direction was detected. It is related to the change of the longitudinal and transverse components the resistance of the magnetically ordered solids by an external magnetic field. The values of the ordinary and extraordinary Hall effects coefficients have been determined: RH0 = 6 ⋅ 10–9 m3/C and RH1 = 3.2 ⋅ 10–8 m3/C, respectively.

The inhomogeneous morphology of magnetic fluid may appear in the presence of an external magnetic field, which shows the structure controllability of magnetic fluid and will lead to anisotropic thermal transport inside the magnetic fluid. Based on the microstructure of magnetic fluid and considering the effect of nanolayer, a model for the thermal conductivity of the magnetic fluid has been developed. The anisotropic thermal transport inside the magnetic fluid is investigated by the present method. The results show that in the presence of an external magnetic field the particles form chainlike clusters along the magnetic field direction, which leads to an increment in the thermal conductivity along the field direction and little change in the thermal conductivity perpendicular to the magnetic field direction. The thermal conductivity of magnetic fluid presents an anisotropic feature. With the increase of the magnetic field strength the chainlike clusters in the magnetic fluid becomes more obvious and the anisotropic feature of heat conduction in the fluids becomes more evident. Comparisons show that the results predicted by the present method are well coincident with the experimental data.
