Decisive Evidence

Abstract. Direct observations of magnetic-field-aligned (parallel) electric fields in the downward current region of the aurora provide decisive evidence of naturally occurring double layers. We report measurements of parallel electric fields, electron fluxes and ion fluxes related to double layers that are responsible for particle acceleration. The observations suggest that parallel electric fields organize into a structure of three distinct, narrowly-confined regions along the magnetic field (B). In the "ramp" region, the measured parallel electric field forms a nearly-monotonic potential ramp that is localized to ~ 10 Debye lengths along B. The ramp is moving parallel to B at the ion acoustic speed (vs) and in the same direction as the accelerated electrons. On the high-potential side of the ramp, in the "beam" region, an unstable electron beam is seen for roughly another 10 Debye lengths along B. The electron beam is rapidly stabilized by intense electrostatic waves and nonlinear structures interpreted as electron phase-space holes. The "wave" region is physically separated from the ramp by the beam region. Numerical simulations reproduce a similar ramp structure, beam region, electrostatic turbulence region and plasma characteristics as seen in the observations. These results suggest that large double layers can account for the parallel electric field in the downward current region and that intense electrostatic turbulence rapidly stabilizes the accelerated electron distributions. These results also demonstrate that parallel electric fields are directly associated with the generation of large-amplitude electron phase-space holes and plasma waves.

Charging Energy

We report on electronic transport experiments on a graphene single electron transistor as function of a perpendicular magnetic field. The device, which consists of a graphene island connected to source and drain electrodes via two narrow graphene constrictions is electronically characterized and the device exhibits a characteristic charging energy of approx. 3.5 meV. We investigate the homogeneity of the two graphene "tunnel" barriers connecting the single electron transistor to source and drain contacts as function of laterally applied electric fields, which are also used to electrostatically tune the overall device. Further, we focus on the barrier transparency as function of an applied perpendicular magnetic field and we find an increase of transparency for increasing magnetic field and a source-drain current saturation for magnetic fields exceeding 5 T.

Oriented Layer

We have reported that development of texture can be controlled by colloidal processing in a strong magnetic field followed by heating even for diamagnetic ceramics such as alumina, titania and so on. We demonstrate in this study that alumina/alumina laminar composites with different crystalline-oriented layer are produced by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) in a strong magnetic field. This composite was fabricated by alternately changing the angle between the directions of the magnetic and electric fields layer by layer during EPD in 12T. The grains in alternate layers are aligned differently.

Abstract In this paper, I review some of our work on the use of magneto hydrodynamics (MHD) for pumping, controlling, and stirring fluids in microdevices. In many applications, one operates with liquids that are at least slightly conductive such as biological fluids. By patterning electrodes inside flow conduits and subjecting these electrodes to potential differences, one can induce electric currents in the liquid. In the presence of a magnetic field, a Lorentz force is generated in a direction that is perpendicular to both the magnetic and electric fields. Since one has a great amount of freedom in patterning the electrodes, one can induce forces in various directions so as to generate complex flows including “guided” flows in virtual, wall-less channels. The magnetic flux generators can be either embedded in the device or be external. Despite their unfavorable scaling (the magnitude of the forces is proportional to the fluid volume), MHD offers many advantages such as the flexibility of applying forces in any desired direction and the ability to adjust the magnitude of the forces by adjusting either the electric and/or magnetic fields. We provide examples of (i) MHD pumps; (ii) controlled networks of conduits in which each conduit is equipped with a MHD actuator and by controlling the voltage applied to each actuator, one can direct the liquid to flow in any desired way without a need for valves; and (iii) MHD stirrers including stirrers that exhibit chaotic advection.
