The resistance of Al-21%Cu alloy under no magnetic field, DC magnetic field and AC magnetic field from liquid to solid was measured by a four-probe method. The difference of resistance versus temperature curves (R-T curves) was analyzed. It is found that the R-T curves of Al-21%Cu alloy are monotone decreasing and have two obvious turning points. Under DC magnetic field, the liquidus and solidus temperatures of the alloy both decrease, while under AC magnetic field, the liquidus and solidus temperatures both increase. There is a good agreement between the microstructure of quenching sample and R-T curves. The mechanism of the effect of magnetic fields was discussed.

The effects of DC and AC magnetic field on the phase composition, morphology and distribution of the ternary Al-Fe-Si alloy were investigated. The solidification structures of the alloy solidified with and without the application of magnetic fields were confirmed by DSC and structural measurements. The results showed that, in this Al-Fe-Si alloy the fine needle-like Al3Fe phase dominated the microstructure at the grain boundaries with the minor amount of Chinese script-like α-AlFeSi. Distribution of Al3Fe phase was almost homogeneous in the volume of the sample when alloy was solidified in the conventional condition. When the DC magnetic field was imposed, distribution of Al3Fe phase was more homogeneous. However, the Al3Fe and α-AlFeSi phases were accumulated towards the center of the sample with the application of the AC magnetic field. This is due to the difference of Lorentz force between Al matrix and iron-containing intermetallics. Furthermore, the amount of Chinese script-like α-AlFeSi was increased remarkably under AC magnetic field.

The effect of DC and AC magnetic fields on the macrostructure, morphology and distribution of the iron-containing intermetallics in the commercially pure Al was investigated. It is found that, at a cooling rate of 3°C/min, the grain is very coarse when the alloy solidifies both with and without magnetic fields. Comparing with the sample solidifies without magnetic field, the solidification structure has almost no change when it solidifies under DC magnetic field, while AC magnetic field changes the solidification structure obviously and makes grains show radial columnar crystals. The intermetallics is dominated by long needle-like phase when the sample solidifies under the condition of no magnetic field. Under AC magnetic field, the intermetallics is refined and accumulated towards the center of sample, and the amount of bone-like α-AlFeSi phase is increased remarkably. The mechanism of the effect of magnetic fields was discussed.

AbstractUsing the MHD version of Gadget3 (Stasyszyn, Dolag & Beck 2013) and a model for the seeding of magnetic fields by supernovae (SN), we performed simulations of the evolution of the magnetic fields in galaxy clusters and study their effects on the heat transport within the intra cluster medium (ICM). This mechanism – where SN explosions during the assembly of galaxies provide magnetic seed fields – has been shown to reproduce the magnetic field in Milky Way-like galactic halos (Beck et al. 2013). The build up of the magnetic field at redshifts before z = 5 and the accordingly predicted rotation measure evolution are also in good agreement with current observations. Such magnetic fields present at high redshift are then transported out of the forming protogalaxies into the large-scale structure and pollute the ICM (in a similar fashion to metals transport). Here, complex velocity patterns, driven by the formation process of cosmic structures are further amplifying and distributing the magnetic fields. In galaxy clusters, the magnetic fields therefore get amplified to the observed μG level and produce the observed amplitude of rotation measures of several hundreds of rad/m2. We also demonstrate that heat conduction in such turbulent fields on average is equivalent to a suppression factor around 1/20th of the classical Spitzer value and in contrast to classical, isotropic heat transport leads to temperature structures within the ICM compatible with observations (Arth et al. 2014).

The paper shows that a planetary magnetic field expressed in the conventional form of a spherical harmonic expanson can be completely represented by the vector sum of fields produced by a set of magnetic dipoles with different magnetic moments, tilted from the planetary spin axis and offset from the planetary centre by different amounts. For convenience, the transformation from multipole systems to dipole systems is restricted to that from multipoles up to octupole to five dipoles. The scalar equipotential transformation analytically results in 24 equations; these can be subsequently solved for the 24 adjustable parameters in dipole systems with the predetermined ‘main dipole’. The numerical comparison of the jovian magnetic field between the jovian O 4 and the five-dipole models reveals a very good agreement with the subtle details. It is obvious that this type of transformation would open up the simplest practical way to simulate planetary magnetic fields with the dipole patterns.

Detection Coil

A wireless, passive sensor was fabricated for remote monitoring of chemical analytes in the human body. The sensor was made of a magnetically soft film (sensing element) and a permanent magnetic film (biasing element) sandwiching a reversibly swelling hydrogel. When subjected to a low frequency magnetic AC field, the sensing element generated higher-order harmonic magnetic fields that were detected with a remotely located detection coil. In the presence of a DC magnetic field (biasing field), such as that generated from the biasing element, the pattern of the higher-order harmonic magnetic fields varied, and the magnitude of change (referred to as the harmonic field shift) was proportional to the strength of the biasing field. The hydrogel, which acted as a transducer that converted variations in the chemical concentration into changes in dimensions, physically varied the separation distance between the sensing and the biasing elements. This causes a change in the magnitude of biasing field experienced by the sensing element, thus changing its higher-order harmonic field shift allowing remote measurement of chemical concentrations. The novelty of this sensor was its wireless and passive nature, which allows it to be used inside a human body for long term chemical monitoring. A scaled-up prototype was fabricated and tested to demonstrate the pH monitoring capability of the sensor. The main structure of the prototype sensor was a polycarbonate substrate containing a larger rectangular well of 36mm×8mm×4mm on top of a smaller well of 30mm×5mm×2mm (see Fig. 1). The smaller well was filled with hydrogel made of (poly)vinyl alcohol and (poly)acrylic acid. A commercial magnetoelastic thick film, Metglas 2826MB from Metglas Inc., was attached to the step at the bottom of the larger well and allowed to rest on the hydrogel. The DC magnetic field was provided by an Arnokrome III film (Arnold Magnetic Technologies) of 30mm×6mm attached at the bottom of the sensor structure. The sensor was placed on the detection coil, and its response was measured with a spectrum analyzer while exposed to test solutions of varying pH. The sensor's harmonic field shift, when cycled between pH 7 and pH 3, was measured and plotted in Fig. 2. As shown in the figure, the hydrogel swelled when the sensor was exposed to pH 3, decreasing the harmonic field shift. The response and recovery times of the hydrogel were below 2 minutes. This experiment proves the feasibility of the technology for real-time, remote monitoring of pH. Further work includes improving the response time and sensitivity of the hydrogel, as well as miniaturization of the sensor.

The Difference

AbstractTwo-electron transition occurs when the exciton bound to a neutral donor (DBE) recombines and leaves the donor in an excited state. The two-electron energy is therefore lower than that of the DBE peak by the difference in ground and excited state of the neutral donor. In a magnetic field the two-electron satellite splits into several components. These intra-donor excitations have been studied in homoepitaxial GaN up to magnetic fields reaching 23T. For Faraday (B‖c) configuration the two-electron transition splits mainly into 2s, 2p0, 2p+ and 2p- components. The total splitting between 2p+ and 2p- is equal to Landau energy. For Voigt (B???c) configuration in addition to transition to 2s, 2p0, 2p- and 2p+ there are additional lines which origin is discussed. It has been found that for two configurations of magnetic field the separation between 2p+ and 2p- is not exactly equal, what indicates the anisotropy of the electron effective mass. It has been found that m| = 0.205m0 and m??? = 0.225m0.

The Difference

Radiative corrections of quantum electrodynamics cause a vacuum threaded by a magnetic field to be birefringent. This means that radiation of different polarizations travels at different speeds. Even in the strong magnetic fields of astrophysical sources, the difference in speed is small. However, it has profound consequences for the extent of polarization expected from strongly magnetized sources. We demonstrate how the birefringence arises from first principles, show how birefringence affects the polarization state of radiation and present recent calculations for the expected polarization from magnetars and X-ray pulsars.

Electromagnetic fields (EMF) are essential to various applications directly involving humans. Fears about the biological effect of exposure to electromagnetic fields drive enormous research into this area. This research generates conflicting results, and consequently, uncertainty regarding possible health effects. This chapter studies a nonlinear Lorenz model describing interactions among charged particles and combined alternating (AC: alternating current) and static (DC: direct current) electromagnetic fields, for various combinations of frequencies, field strengths and relative angle (?) between the AC and DC magnetic fields. We investigate the effect on charged particles of three possible combinations of alternating and static electromagnetic fields: (i) AC electric field and DC magnetic field (ii) AC magnetic field and DC magnetic field (iii) AC electric field and AC and DC magnetic field. Then the behavior of the particle in these fields with different initial conditions and strong directional effects is observed when the angle between AC and DC magnetic fields is varied. The results show that the cyclotron resonance frequency is affected by charged particles’ initial position and initial velocity. Further, we observe strong effects of electric and magnetic fields on a charged particle in a biological cell with initial position and initial velocity.
