The Hall effect in the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) channel flow of a plasma leads to the presence of transverse Lorentz forces. The non-uniform distribution of these body forces may cause secondary flows to develop; these can exert a significant influence on the plasma momentum, thermal and electrical behaviour. The effect is predicted to be large for envisioned large-scale MHD devices. An experimental study of this phenomenon is described. The apparatus consisted of a laboratory-scale MHD channel in which a controlled net axial current was applied. Plasma velocities were measured using laser-Doppler anemometry. The results demonstrate that transverse Lorentz forces can drive intense secondary flows at a value of the magnetic interaction parameter based on the Hall current of approximately one. The peak measured transverse velocities were 15% of the bulk velocity. Qualitatively, the basic character of the large-scale secondary flow structure was in accord with a simple model based on a first-order distribution of the axial current density. Measurements were also made under a variety of conditions of the profiles of mean axial velocity and of the axial and transverse components of turbulence intensity, of electrode surface temperatures and of plasma voltage distributions. These results all support the conclusion that convective transport by MHD secondary flow caused significant asymmetries to develop in the cross-plane distribution of scalar quantities.

The tilted beam illumination method is used to improve the resolution comparing with the axial illumination mode. Using this advantage, a restoration method of several tilted beam images covering the full azimuthal range was proposed by Saxton, and experimentally examined. To make this technique more reliable it seems that some practical problems still remain. In this report the restoration was attempted and the problems were considered. In our study, four problems were pointed out for the experiment of the restoration. (1) Accurate beam tilt adjustment to fit the incident beam to the coma-free axis for the symmetrical beam tilting over the full azimuthal range. (2) Accurate measurements of the optical parameters which are necessary to design the restoration filter. Even if the spherical aberration coefficient Cs is known with accuracy and the axial astigmatism is sufficiently compensated, at least the defocus value must be measured. (3) Accurate alignment of the tilt-azimuth series images.

As part of a program to develop iron particles for next generation recording disk medium, their structural properties were investigated using transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction. Iron particles are a more desirable recording medium than iron oxide, the most widely used material in disk manufacturing, because they offer a higher magnetic output and a higher coercive force. The particles were prepared by a method described elsewhere. Because of their strong magnetic interaction, a method had to be developed to separate the particles on the electron microscope grids.
