The interpretation of helicopter‐borne electromagnetic (EM) data is commonly based on the transformation of the data to the apparent resistivity under the assumption that the dielectric permittivity is that of free space and so displacement currents may be ignored. While this is an acceptable approach for many applications, it may not yield a reliable value for the apparent resistivity in resistive areas at the high frequencies now available commercially for some helicopter EM systems. We analyze the feasibility of mapping spatial variations in the dielectric permittivity and resistivity using a high‐frequency helicopter‐borne EM system. The effect of the dielectric permittivity on the EM data is to decrease the in‐phase component and increase the quadrature component. This results in an unwarranted increase in the apparent resistivity (when permittivity is neglected) for the pseudolayer half‐space model, or a decrease in the apparent resistivity for the homogeneous half‐space model. To avoid this problem, we use the in‐phase and quadrature responses at the highest frequency to estimate the apparent dielectric permittivity because this maximizes the response of displacement currents. Having an estimate of the apparent dielectric permittivity then allows the apparent resistivity to be computed for all frequencies. A field example shows that the permittivity can be well resolved in a resistive environment when using high‐frequency helicopter EM data.

Abstract Depth apparent resistivity imaging is an important process of data processing and analysis in the aviation transient electromagnetic method. It can provide reference value of conductor depth, vertical extension, and other information, and can accurately provide the measurement of each aviation transient electromagnetic measurement system. The structural section of the apparent conductivity of the one-dimensional layered medium on the line. As an advanced geophysical exploration technology, the aerial transient electromagnetic method has been applied significantly in the exploration of polymetallic minerals abroad in recent years. In this paper, based on the theory of ground-to-air transient electromagnetic method with multiple radiation sources, a corresponding multi-component global apparent resistivity definition method is established. The advantages of using the magnetic field strength to define the global apparent resistivity of the multi-radiation field source ground-air system are analysed. For each component of the magnetic field strength, respective global apparent resistivity algorithms are proposed to realize the multi-component, full-time, and full-space visual resistivity. The resistivity is calculated, and the influence of the offset on the global apparent resistivity is analysed. By adjusting the relative position of the source and the current direction and other parameters, the multi-radiation source transient electromagnetic ground-air system can not only strengthen the signal strength of different components, weaken random interference, but also better distinguish the location of underground anomalies

We study the dependence of critical current j c on magnetic field H in superconducting polycrystals which are considered as systems of superconducting crystallites (isotropic or anisotropic) with Josephson contacts between them. Isotropy or anisotropy of contacts depends on the orientation of their crystallographic axes relatively to edges of contact planes. It is shown that for a system of randomly oriented isotropic contacts, the dependence j c (H) in a relatively wide field range has the asymptotic form j c ~( ln H)/H2. This differs drastically from j c (H) for single contacts. Anisotropy effects due to large differences in London penetration depth λ values corresponding to external magnetic field directed along different axes are analyzed in detail. It is shown that for uniaxal crystals with λ1=λ2≪λ3, this anisotropy leads to the relation [Formula: see text] for chaotic orientation of crystallites. The form of j c (H) curves for two different orientations of the magnetic field relatively to the transport current through the sample is found.

The apparent resistivity technique using half‐space models has been employed in helicopter‐borne resistivity mapping for twenty years. These resistivity algorithms yield the apparent resistivity from the measured in‐phase and quadrature response arising from the flow of electrical conduction currents for a given frequency. However, these algorithms, which assume free‐space magnetic permeability, do not yield a reliable value for the apparent resistivity in highly magnetic areas. This is because magnetic polarization also occurs, which modifies the electromagnetic (EM) response, causing the computed resistivity to be erroneously high. Conversely, the susceptibility of a magnetic half‐space can be computed from the measured EM response, assuming an absence of conduction currents. However, the presence of conduction currents will cause the computed susceptibility to be erroneously low. New methods for computing the apparent resistivity and apparent magnetic permeability have been developed for the magnetic conductive half‐space. The in‐phase and quadrature responses at the lowest frequency are first used to estimate the apparent magnetic permeability. The lowest frequency should be used to calculate the permeability because this minimizes the contribution to the measured signal from conduction currents. Knowing the apparent magnetic permeability then allows the apparent resistivity to be computed for all frequencies. The resistivity can be computed using different methods. Because the EM response of magnetic permeability is much greater for the in‐phase component than for the quadrature component, it may be better in highly magnetic environments to derive the resistivity using the quadrature component at two frequencies (the quad‐quad algorithm) rather than using the in‐phase and quadrature response at a single frequency (the in‐phase‐quad algorithm). However, the in‐phase‐quad algorithm has the advantage of dynamic range, and it gives credible resistivity results when the apparent permeability has been obtained correctly.

This paper focuses on studying thermal, elastic and coupled plasma waves, in the sense of a photo-thermal process transport within an infinite semiconductor medium. In order to study photo-thermal interactions in two-dimensional semiconducting materials, a new mathematical model based on the Moore–Gibson–Thompson equation (MGTE) is implemented. The MGTE model involving the Green–Naghdi model of type III as well as the heat transport equation proposed by Lord and Shulman. We consider the semi-conductor half-space is rotated at a uniform angular speed and magnetized. The analysis of the distribution of thermophysical fields has been extracted by a normal mode method, represented graphically and discussed. The results predicted by the new and improved model have been compared with the generalized and classic ones. In addition, all field quantities have been examined for effects of rotation, a lifetime of the photo-generated, and the applied magnetic field.

Abstract Ultrafast proton radiography has been frequently used for direct measurement of the electromagnetic fields around laser-driven capacitor-coil targets. The goal is to accurately infer the coil currents and their magnetic field generation for a robust magnetic field source that can lead to many applications. The technique often involves numerical calculations for synthetic proton images to reproduce experimental measurements. While electromagnetic fields are the primary source for proton deflections around the capacitor coils, stopping power and small angle deflection can also contribute to the observed experimental features. Here we present a comprehensive study of the proton radiography technique including all sources of proton deflections as a function of coil shapes, current magnitudes, and proton energies. Good agreements were achieved between experimental data and numerical calculations that include both the stopping power and small angle deflections, particularly when the induced coil currents were small.

The aim of the present investigation is to study the effects of magnetic field, relaxation times, and rotation on the propagation of surface waves with imperfect boundary. The propagation between an isotropic elastic layer of finite thickness and a homogenous isotropic thermodiffusive elastic half-space with rotation in the context of Green-Lindsay (GL) model is studied. The secular equation for surface waves in compact form is derived after developing the mathematical model. The phase velocity and attenuation coefficient are obtained for stiffness, and then deduced for normal stiffness, tangential stiffness and welded contact. The amplitudes of displacements, temperature, and concentration are computed analytically at the free plane boundary. Some special cases are illustrated and compared with previous results obtained by other authors. The effects of rotation, magnetic field, and relaxation times on the speed, attenuation coefficient, and the amplitudes of displacements, temperature, and concentration are displayed graphically.

AbstractThe manipulation of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) using an external magnetic field, has been demonstrated to be useful in various biomedical applications. Some techniques have evolved utilizing this non-invasive external stimulus but the scientific community widely adopts few, and there is an excellent potential for more novel methods. The primary focus of this study is on understanding the manipulation of MNPs by a time-varying static magnetic field and how this can be used, at different frequencies and displacement, to manipulate cellular function. Here we explore, using numerical modeling, the physical mechanism which underlies this kind of manipulation, and we discuss potential improvements which would enhance such manipulation with its use in biomedical applications, i.e., increasing the MNP response by improving the field parameters. From our observations and other related studies, we infer that such manipulation depends mostly on the magnetic field gradient, the magnetic susceptibility and size of the MNPs, the magnet array oscillating frequency, the viscosity of the medium surrounding MNPs, and the distance between the magnetic field source and the MNPs. Additionally, we demonstrate cytotoxicity in neuroblastoma (SH-SY5Y) and hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells in vitro. This was induced by incubation with MNPs, followed by exposure to a magnetic field gradient, physically oscillating at various frequencies and displacement amplitudes. Even though this technique reliably produces MNP endocytosis and/or cytotoxicity, a better biophysical understanding is required to develop the mechanism used for this precision manipulation of MNPs, in vitro.
