Kinetics of magnetization relaxation of the exotic ε-In0.24Fe1.76O3 nanoparticles under applied magnetic field has been studied. The fluctuation field and the activation volume have been calculated from the magnetic viscosity data. The relation between magnetic viscosity and magnetic noise caused by the random thermally activated magnetization reversal of a single nanoparticle has been established. Stepped sweeping of magnetic field expands the windows of experimentally detectable magnetic fluctuations. The changes in the reversal magnetic field provide ε-In0.24Fe1.76O3 nanoparticles scanning and sorting them by magnetic noise frequency.

Abstract Parker Solar Probe (PSP) observed predominately Alfvénic fluctuations in the solar wind near the Sun where the magnetic field tends to be radially aligned. In this paper, two magnetic-field-aligned solar wind flow intervals during PSP’s first two orbits are analyzed. Observations of these intervals indicate strong signatures of parallel/antiparallel-propagating waves. We utilize multiple analysis techniques to extract the properties of the observed waves in both magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) and kinetic scales. At the MHD scale, outward-propagating Alfvén waves dominate both intervals, and outward-propagating fast magnetosonic waves present the second-largest contribution in the spectral energy density. At kinetic scales, we identify the circularly polarized plasma waves propagating near the proton gyrofrequency in both intervals. However, the sense of magnetic polarization in the spacecraft frame is observed to be opposite in the two intervals, although they both possess a sunward background magnetic field. The ion-scale plasma wave observed in the first interval can be either an inward-propagating ion cyclotron wave (ICW) or an outward-propagating fast-mode/whistler wave in the plasma frame, while in the second interval it can be explained as an outward ICW or inward fast-mode/whistler wave. The identification of the exact kinetic wave mode is more difficult to confirm owing to the limited plasma data resolution. The presence of ion-scale waves near the Sun suggests that ion cyclotron resonance may be one of the ubiquitous kinetic physical processes associated with small-scale magnetic fluctuations and kinetic instabilities in the inner heliosphere.

Abstract. The influence of magnetic turbulence in the near-Earth magnetotail on ion motion is investigated by numerical simulation. The magnetotail current sheet is modelled as a magnetic field reversal with a normal magnetic field com-ponent Bn , plus a three-dimensional spectrum of magnetic fluctuations dB which represents the observed magnetic turbulence. The dawn-dusk electric field Ey is also considered. A test particle simulation is performed using different values of Bn and of the fluctuation level dB/B0. We show that when the magnetic fluctuations are taken into account, the particle dynamics is deeply affected, giving rise to an increase in the cross tail transport, ion heating, and current sheet thickness. For strong enough turbulence, the current splits in two layers, in agreement with recent Cluster observations.Key words.

The nonlinear (in terms of the large-scale magnetic field) effect of the modification of the magnetic force by an advanced small-scale magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence is considered. The phenomenon is due to the generation of magnetic fluctuations at the expense of hydrodynamic pulsations. It results in a decrease of the elasticity of the large-scale magnetic field.The renormalization group (RNG) method was employed for the investigation of the MHD turbulence at the large magnetic Reynolds number. It was found that the level of the magnetic fluctuations can exceed that obtained from the equipartition assumption due to the inverse energy cascade in advanced MHD turbulence.This effect can excite an instability of the large-scale magnetic field due to the energy transfer from the small-scale turbulent pulsations. This instability is an example of the inverse energy cascade in advanced MHD turbulence. It may act as a mechanism for the large-scale magnetic ropes formation in the solar convective zone and spiral galaxies.

Abstract. In spite of a large number of papers dedicated to the study of MHD turbulence in the solar wind there are still some simple questions which have never been sufficiently addressed, such as: a) Do we really know how the magnetic field vector orientation fluctuates in space? b) What are the statistics followed by the orientation of the vector itself? c) Do the statistics change as the wind expands into the interplanetary space? A better understanding of these points can help us to better characterize the nature of interplanetary fluctuations and can provide useful hints to investigators who try to numerically simulate MHD turbulence. This work follows a recent paper presented by some of the authors which shows that these fluctuations might resemble a sort of random walk governed by Truncated Lévy Flight statistics. However, the limited statistics used in that paper did not allow for final conclusions but only speculative hypotheses. In this work we aim to address the same problem using more robust statistics which, on the one hand, forces us not to consider velocity fluctuations but, on the other hand, allows us to establish the nature of the governing statistics of magnetic fluctuations with more confidence. In addition, we show how features similar to those found in the present statistical analysis for the fast speed streams of solar wind are qualitatively recovered in numerical simulations of the parametric instability. This might offer an alternative viewpoint for interpreting the questions raised above.

Abstract. We present observations from two subsolar Cluster magnetopause crossings under southward interplanetary magnetic field and strong mirror mode fluctuations in the magnetosheath. In both events the reconnection outflow jets show strong variations on the timescale of one minute. We show that at least some of the recorded variations are truly temporal, not spatial. On the same timescale, mirror mode fluctuations appear as strong magnetic fluctuations in the magnetosheath next to the magnetopause. This suggests that mirror modes can cause the variations either through modulation of continuous reconnection or through triggering of bursty reconnection. Using a theoretical scaling law for asymmetric reconnection we show that modulation of reconnection at a single x-line can explain the observations of the first event. The second event cannot be explained by a single modulated x-line: there the evidence points to patchy and bursty reconnection.

AbstractBy making use of the MHD self-induction equation in general relativity (GR), recently derived by Clarkson and Marklund (2005), it is shown that when Friedmann universe possesses a spatial section whose Riemannian curvature is negative, the magnetic energy bounds computed by Nuñez (2002) also bounds the growth rate of the magnetic field given by the strain matrix of dynamo flow. Since in GR-MHD dynamo equation, the Ricci tensor couples with the universe magnetic field, only through diffusion, and most ages are highly conductive the interest is more theoretical here, and only very specific plasma astrophysical problems can be address such as in laboratory plasmas. Magnetic fields and the negative curvature of some isotropic cosmologies, contribute to enhence the amplification of the magnetic field. Ricci curvature energy is shown to add to strain matrix of the flow, to enhance dynamo action in the universe. Magnetic fluctuations of the Clarkson-Marklund equations for a constant magnetic field seed in highly conductive flat universes, leads to a magnetic contrast of ≈ 2, which is well within observational limits from extragalactic radiosources of ≈ 1.7. In the magnetic helicity fluctuations the magnetic contrast shows that the dynamo effects can be driven by these fluctuations.

Abstract. Physical processes of the energy transport in solar wind turbulence are a subject of intense studies, and different ideas exist to explain them. This manuscript describes the investigation of dispersion properties in short-wavelength magnetic turbulence during a rare high-speed solar wind event with a flow velocity of about 700 km s−1 using magnetic field and ion data from the Cluster spacecraft. Using the multi-point resonator technique, the dispersion relations (i.e., frequency versus wave-number values in the solar wind frame) of turbulent magnetic fluctuations with wave numbers near the inverse ion inertial length are determined. Three major results are shown: (1) the wave vectors are uniformly quasi-perpendicular to the mean magnetic field; (2) the fluctuations show a broad range of frequencies at wavelengths around the ion inertial length; and (3) the direction of propagation at the observed wavelengths is predominantly in the sunward direction. These results suggest the existence of high-frequency dispersion relations partly associated with normal modes on small scales. Therefore nonlinear energy cascade processes seem to be acting that are not described by wave–wave interactions.

The Magnetic Field

Magnetic field observations in the dayside ionosphere of Venus revealed the magnetic flux ropes (Russell and Elphic 1979). General properties of these small-scale magnetic field structures can be explained by the theory of magnetic fluctuations excited by random hydrodynamic flows of ionospheric plasma.A nonlinear theory of the flux tubes formation based on the Zeldovich's mechanism of amplification of the magnetic fluctuations is proposed. A nonlinear equation describing the evolution of the correlation function of the magnetic field can be derived from the induction equation, the nonlinearity being connected with the Hall effect. The large magnetic Reynolds number limit allows an asymptotic study by a modified WKB method.On the basis of this theory it is possible to explain why the flux tubes are not observed if there is a strong regular large-scale magnetic field when the ionopause is low. The theory predicts the cross section of the flux ropes in the ionosphere of Venus and the maximum value of the magnetic field inside the flux tube.
