We revisit the properties of spin transport through a semiconductor 2DEG system subjected to the modulation of both a ferromagnetic metal (FM) stripe on top and the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit interactions (SOIs). The FM stripe has a magnetization along the transporting direction and generates an inhomogeneous magnetic field in the 2DEG plane which is taken as a double-δ shape. It is found that the spin polarization of this system generated from a spin-unpolarized injection can be remarkable only within a low Fermi energy region and is not more than 30% for the parameters available in current experiments. In this energy region, both the magnitude and the orientation of the spin polarization can be tuned by the Rashba strength, the Dresselhaus strength, and the magnetic field strength. The magnetization reversal of the FM stripe cannot result in a change of the conductance, but can rotate the orientation of the spin polarization. The results are in contrast to those in [ J. Phys.: Condens. Matter15 (2003) L31] where a pure spin state for incident electrons is artificially assumed.

SummaryMeasurements of the radial velocities and magnetic field strength of β CrB were carried out. It is shown that there is a variability with the rotation period different for various elements. The curve of the magnetic field variation measured from lines of 5 different elements: FeI, CrI, CrII, TiII, ScII and CaI has a complex shape specific for each element. This may be due to the presence of magnetic spots on the stellar surface. A comparison with the radial velocity curves suggests the presence of a least 4 spots of Ti and Cr coinciding with magnetic spots. A change of the magnetic field with optical depth is shown. The curve of the Heffvariation with the rotation period is given. A possibility of secular variations of the magnetic field is shown.

The flow, energy distribution and concentrations profiles of Ti ions in cathodic arc are studied by test particle Monte Carlo simulations with considering the mass transfer through the macro-particles filters with inhomogeneous magnetic field. The loss of ions due to their deposition on filter walls was calculated as a function of electric current and number of turns in the coil. The magnetic field concentrator that arises in the bending region of the filters leads to increase the loss of the ions component of cathodic arc. The ions loss up to 80 % of their energy resulted by the paired elastic collisions which correspond to the experimental results. The ion fluxes arriving at the surface of the substrates during planetary rotating of them opposite the evaporators mounted to each other at an angle of 120° characterized by the wide range of mutual overlapping.

This chapter focuses on the electron spin degree of freedom in semiconductor spintronics. In particular, the electrostatic control of the spin degree of freedom is an advantageous technology over metal-based spintronics. Spin–orbit interaction (SOI), which gives rise to an effective magnetic field. The essence of SOI is that the moving electrons in an electric field feel an effective magnetic field even without any external magnetic field. Rashba spin–orbit interaction is important since the strength is controlled by the gate voltage on top of the semiconductor’s two-dimensional electron gas. By utilizing the effective magnetic field induced by the SOI, spin generation and manipulation are possible by electrostatic ways. The origin of spin-orbit interactions in semiconductors and the electrical generation and manipulation of spins by electrical means are discussed. Long spin coherence is achieved by special spin helix state where both strengths of Rashba and Dresselhaus SOI are equal.

This paper discusses the forced convective heat transfer characteristics of water–ethylene glycol (EG)-based Fe3O4 nanofluid and Fe3O4–MWCNT hybrid nanofluid under the effect of a magnetic field. The results indicated that the convective heat transfer coefficient of magnetic nanofluids increased with an increase in the strength of the magnetic field. When the magnetic field strength was varied from 0 to 750 G, the maximum convective heat transfer coefficients were observed for the 0.2 wt% Fe3O4 and 0.1 wt% Fe3O4–MWNCT nanofluids, and the improvements were approximately 2.78% and 3.23%, respectively. The average pressure drops for 0.2 wt% Fe3O4 and 0.2 wt% Fe3O4–MWNCT nanofluids increased by about 4.73% and 5.23%, respectively. Owing to the extensive aggregation of nanoparticles by the external magnetic field, the heat transfer coefficient of the 0.1 wt% Fe3O4–MWNCT hybrid nanofluid was 5% higher than that of the 0.2 wt% Fe3O4 nanofluid. Therefore, the convective heat transfer can be enhanced by the dispersion stability of the nanoparticles and optimization of the magnetic field strength.

Context. Observations indicate that wind can be generated in hot accretion flow. Wind generated from weakly magnetized accretion flow has been studied. However, the properties of wind generated from strongly magnetized hot accretion flow have not been studied. Aims. In this paper, we study the properties of wind generated from both weakly and strongly magnetized accretion flow. We focus on how the magnetic field strength affects the wind properties. Methods. We solve steady-state two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic equations of black hole accretion in the presence of a largescale magnetic field. We assume self-similarity in radial direction. The magnetic field is assumed to be evenly symmetric with the equatorial plane. Results. We find that wind exists in both weakly and strongly magnetized accretion flows. When the magnetic field is weak (magnetic pressure is more than two orders of magnitude smaller than gas pressure), wind is driven by gas pressure gradient and centrifugal forces. When the magnetic field is strong (magnetic pressure is slightly smaller than gas pressure), wind is driven by gas pressure gradient and magnetic pressure gradient forces. The power of wind in the strongly magnetized case is just slightly larger than that in the weakly magnetized case. The power of wind lies in a range PW ~ 10−4–10−3 Ṁinc2, with Ṁin and c being mass inflow rate and speed of light, respectively. The possible role of wind in active galactic nuclei feedback is briefly discussed.

The effect of spin-orbit (SO) interaction on the formation of the critical states in thin superconducting films in magnetic field oriented along the film is investigated. Hereby, the case of interband pairing is considered. It was found that eight branches exist in the plane of two parameters [Formula: see text] determined by the value of magnetic field and SO interaction. Six modes leads to inhomogeneous states with different values of the impulse [Formula: see text]. Each state is doubly degenerate over direction of impulse [Formula: see text]. The parameter values at critical point are found for all eight branches in explicit form for zero temperature. The optimal two branches are estimated, corresponding to largest critical magnetic field value for given SO interaction.

Magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) based on amorphous Fe-Si-B alloy magnetic particles were prepared. The influence of annealing treatment on stability and rheological property of MRFs was investigated. The saturation magnetization ( Ms) of amorphous Fe-Si-B particles after annealing at 550°C is 131.5 emu/g, which is higher than that of amorphous Fe-Si-B particles without annealing. Moreover, the stability of MRF with annealed amorphous Fe-Si-B particles is better than that of MRF without annealed amorphous Fe-Si-B particles. Stearic acid at 3 wt% was added to the MRF2 to enhance the fluid stability to greater than 90%. In addition, the rheological properties demonstrate that the prepared amorphous particle MRF shows relatively strong magnetic responsiveness, especially when the magnetic field strength reaches 365 kA/m. As the magnetic field intensified, the yield stress increased dramatically and followed the Herschel-Bulkley model.
