It is known that chemical bonding is only possible when particles with antiparallel valence electrons spins orientation collide [1, 2]. In an external magnetic field unpaired electrons spins precession around the field lines is observed. Precession frequencies of valence electrons of magnetic and nonmagnetic nuclei differ, resulting in a different probability to collide in reactive state for different isotopes. The investigations results of magnetic field influence on the carbon isotopes redistribution between carbon dioxide and disperse carbon in plasmachemical processes are given. Argon-oxygen plasma by a high-frequency generator was produced. Carbon placed into reaction zone by the high-frequency electrode evaporation. The plasmachemical reaction products quenching in the plasma flow at the sampler probe were examined. It is found that the Laval nozzle sampler is more efficient for plasma stream cooling versus the cylindrical sampler. The effects of flow rate, pressure and carbon dioxide concentration on the plasma flow cooling efficiency were estimated.

AbstractHot Jupiters have extended gaseous (ionospheric) envelopes, which extend far beyond the Roche lobe. The envelopes are loosely bound to the planet and, therefore, are strongly influenced by fluctuations of the stellar wind. We show that, since hot Jupiters are close to the parent stars, magnetic field of the stellar wind is an important factor defining the structure of their magnetospheres. For a typical hot Jupiter, velocity of the stellar wind plasma flow around the atmosphere is close to the Alfvén velocity. As a result stellar wind fluctuations, such as coronal mass ejections, can affect the conditions for the formation of a bow shock around a hot Jupiter. This effect can affect observational manifestations of hot Jupiters.

Solution of the nonlinear MHD problem of plasma flow in an increasing dipolar magnetic field is obtained in the approximation of a strong field. The distributions of plasma velocity, displacement, and density are calculated. The situation when the magnetic dipole is ‘increased’ by rapid process of magnetic reconnection or current sheet rupture is illustrated. Possible applications are discussed in connection with plasma ejections from chromosphere in corona.

The microinstabilities of a high-pressure plasma moving along a magnetic field with a non-uniform velocity profile are investigated. A similar problem was studied earlier by Dobrowolny on the basis of hydromagnetic equations with an oblique viscosity tensor. The present paper, unlike Dobrowolny's work, gives a kinetic analysis. Perturbations with transverse wavelength both larger and smaller than the ion Larmor radius are considered. The analysis indicates that there is a large family of microinstabilities of the ‘drift’ type whose mechanism differs from the classical Kelvin–Helmholtz instability.
