In this paper, the Cu-Fe alloys are fabricated by solidifying with and without a 1.0 Tesla horizontal magnetic field and they are drawn to composite wires under different drawing ratios, then their further strength and conductivity are investigated. The results show that, when the drawing ratio is lower, the strength of the Cu-Fe composites pre-solidified with a horizontal magnetic field is lower, which is caused by the coarser solidification microstructures induced by the injected magnetic field. However, the increase ratio in the strength of the Cu-Fe composites, which is plotted as a function of the Fe content and the drawing ratio, is higher in the case of the imposed magnetic field. It indicates that it is more efficient applying the magnetic field to fabricate Cu-Fe composites with high Fe contents and larger drawing ratio. A quantitative relationship is fitted to predict the influence of the Fe content on the strength of the Cu-Fe composites wires. On the other hand, the conductivity of the Cu-Fe composite wires is decreased with increasing Fe content. The injected magnetic field has no effect on the conductivity.

Abstract From the standpoint of its magnetic anisotropy, stretched rubber is comparable in a first approximation to a uniaxial crystal, in which the direction of the axis is the same as the direction of elongation. It is possible to measure this anisotropy by means of the oscillation method used by Krishnan, Guha and Banerjee in studying crystals. The sample to be examined is suspended in a uniform horizontal magnetic field in such a manner that its axis is horizontal. It is then so arranged that the torsion of the suspension wire is zero when the rubber sample is in a position of equilibrium in the field. The times of oscillation T′ and T for very small angular displacements around this position, in the presence and then in the absence of the magnetic field, are then recorded. In this way the difference between the specific susceptibilities in the direction of the axis and in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the axis is calculated by application of the equation:

In this paper, the energy eigenvalues of the two dimensional hydrogen atom are presented for the arbitrary Larmor frequencies by using the asymptotic iteration method. We first show the energy eigenvalues for the case with no magnetic field analytically, and then we obtain the energy eigenvalues for the strong and weak magnetic field cases within an iterative approach for n=2-10 and m=0-1 states for several different arbitrary Larmor frequencies. The effect of the magnetic field on the energy eigenvalues is determined precisely. The results are in excellent agreement with the findings of the other methods and our method works for the cases where the others fail.

Abstract. Shock waves can strongly influence magnetic reconnection as seen by the slow shocks attached to the diffusion region in Petschek reconnection. We derive necessary conditions for such shocks in a nonuniform resistive magnetohydrodynamic plasma and discuss them with respect to the slow shocks in Petschek reconnection. Expressions for the spatial variation of the velocity and the magnetic field are derived by rearranging terms of the resistive magnetohydrodynamic equations without solving them. These expressions contain removable singularities if the flow velocity of the plasma equals a certain characteristic velocity depending on the other flow quantities. Such a singularity can be related to the strong spatial variations across a shock. In contrast to the analysis of Rankine–Hugoniot relations, the investigation of these singularities allows us to take the finite resistivity into account. Starting from considering perpendicular shocks in a simplified one-dimensional geometry to introduce the approach, shock conditions for a more general two-dimensional situation are derived. Then the latter relations are limited to an incompressible plasma to consider the subcritical slow shocks of Petschek reconnection. A gradient of the resistivity significantly modifies the characteristic velocity of wave propagation. The corresponding relations show that a gradient of the resistivity can lower the characteristic Alfvén velocity to an effective Alfvén velocity. This can strongly impact the conditions for shocks in a Petschek reconnection geometry.

It is argued that the description of the magnetic field in halos of galaxies should take into account its dynamical coupling to the other major components of the interstellar medium, namely thermal plasma and cosmic rays (CR's). It is then inevitable to have some loss of gas and CR's (galactic wind) provided that there exist some “open” magnetic field lines, facilitating their escape, and a sufficient level of self-generated waves which couple the particles to the gas. We discuss qualitatively the topology of the magnetic field in the halo and show how galactic rotation and magnetic forces can be included in such an outflow picture.

This article presents an experimental study of magnetohydrodynamic convection in a tall vertical slot under the influence of a horizontal magnetic field. The test fluid is an eutectic sodium potassium Na22K78 alloy with a small Prandtl number of Pr ≈ 0:02. The experimental setup covers Rayleigh numbers in the range 103 [lsim ] Ra [lsim ] 8×104 and Hartmann numbers 0 < M < 1600. The effect of the magnetic field on the convective heat transport is determined not only by damping as expected from Joule dissipation but also, for magnetic fields not too strong, the convective heat transfer may be considerably enhanced compared to ordinary hydrodynamic (OHD) flow. Estimates of the isotropy properties of the flow by a four-element temperature probe demonstrate that the increase in convective heat transport accompanies the formation of strong local anisotropy of the turbulent eddies in the sense of an alignment of the main direction of vorticity with the magnetic field. The reduced three-dimensional nonlinearities in non-isotropic flow favour the formation of largescale vortex structures compared to OHD flow, which are more effective for convective heat transport. Along with the formation of quasi-two-dimensional vortex structures, temperature fluctuations may be considerably enhanced in a magnetic field that is not too strong. However, above Hartmann numbers M [gsim ] 400 the formerly strongly time-dependent flow suddenly becomes stationary with an extended region of high convective heat transport at stationary flow. Finally, for very high Hartmann numbers the convective motion is strongly suppressed and the heat transport is reduced to a state close to pure heat conduction.

Radial oscillations are excited in a homogeneous infinite plasma cylinder in a homogeneous axial magnetic field by a surface current which is homogeneous in the axial and azimuthal directions. The modes of oscillations corresponding to the axial and azimuthal components of current are not coupled, and so they may be analysed separately. The magnetic field in the plasma and vacuum is obtained, and the indices of refraction for both types of oscillations are discussed thoroughly. When the currents are parallel to the external magnetic field, the oscillations are characterized by the refractive index of Eccles. On the other hand, when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field two resonance frequencies exist, which depend on the density of the plasma and the magnetic field strength. — In the latter case the radial characteristic oscillations of the plasma cylinder in an external magnetic field are considered.

The influence of strong homogeneous magnetic fields in the range of 5000 to 8000 Gauss on the growth of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Micrococcus denitrificans was studied. In the case of yeast growing under nearly anaerobic conditions an inhibition of growth rate was observed in the beginning of incubaton while some hours later the growth accelerated and surpassed the control. M. denitrificans on the other hand grew with the same rate as the controls during the first 2 - 3 hours of experiment; thereafter the magnetic field resulted in a significant acceleration of growth rate measured by a 5.8 to 13.3% increase of oxygen consumption after 5 - 6 hours run of experiment. Until now only inhibition of bacterial growths by magnetic fields is reported elsewhere in the literature.

Context.Convectively driven flows play a crucial role in the dynamo processes that are responsible for producing magnetic activity in stars and planets. It is still not fully understood why many astrophysical magnetic fields have a significant large-scale component.Aims.Our aim is to investigate the dynamo properties of compressible convection in a rapidly rotating Cartesian domain, focusing upon a parameter regime in which the underlying hydrodynamic flow is known to be unstable to a large-scale vortex instability.Methods.The governing equations of three-dimensional non-linear magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) are solved numerically. Different numerical schemes are compared and we propose a possible benchmark case for other similar codes.Results.In keeping with previous related studies, we find that convection in this parameter regime can drive a large-scale dynamo. The components of the mean horizontal magnetic field oscillate, leading to a continuous overall rotation of the mean field. Whilst the large-scale vortex instability dominates the early evolution of the system, the large-scale vortex is suppressed by the magnetic field and makes a negligible contribution to the mean electromotive force that is responsible for driving the large-scale dynamo. The cycle period of the dynamo is comparable to the ohmic decay time, with longer cycles for dynamos in convective systems that are closer to onset. In these particular simulations, large-scale dynamo action is found only when vertical magnetic field boundary conditions are adopted at the upper and lower boundaries. Strongly modulated large-scale dynamos are found at higher Rayleigh numbers, with periods of reduced activity (grand minima-like events) occurring during transient phases in which the large-scale vortex temporarily re-establishes itself, before being suppressed again by the magnetic field.

Abstract The stability of the plane interface separating two Rivlin-Ericksen elastico-viscous superposed fluids of uniform densities when the whole system is immersed in a uniform horizontal magnetic field has been studied. The stability analysis has been carried out, for mathematical simplicity, for two highly viscous fluids of equal kinematic viscosities and equal kinematic viscoelasticities. It is found that the stability criterion is independent of the effects of viscosity and viscoelasticity and is dependent on the orientation and magnitude of the magnetic field. The magnetic field is found to stabilize a certain wave-number range of the unstable configuration. The behaviour of growth rates with respect to kinematic viscosity and kinematic viscoelasticity parameters are examined numerically.

The configuration created in the plane by the separation of a magnetic hyperbolic null point into two critical points connected by a current sheet is considered. The main parameters are the orders of the zeros of these new null points, which determine the local topology of the magnetic field. It is shown that when the magnetic field is static, the fluid tends to flow orthogonally to the field in the vicinity of the sheet endpoints. Moreover, the Lorentz force pushes one of them towards the other, so the configuration tends to collapse again into a single null point except when the order of both is precisely ½.
