AbstractThe magnetic levitation of diamagnetic materials in a high field superconducting magnet is presented. The magnetic force is determined from numerical calculations of the magnetic field components and the stability of levitation is studied using energy calculations. Amongst the numerous materials that can be levitated, experiments are shown for ethanol droplets.

The levitation forces of a bulk YBCO superconductor in gradient varying high and low magnetic fields generated from a superconducting magnet were investigated. The magnetic field intensity of the superconducting magnet was measured when the exciting current was 90 A. The magnetic field gradient and magnetic force field were both calculated. The YBCO bulk was cooled by liquid nitrogen in field-cooling (FC) and zero-field-cooling (ZFC) condition. The results showed that the levitation forces increased with increasing the magnetic field intensity. Moreover, the levitation forces were more dependent on magnetic field gradient and magnetic force field than magnetic field intensity.

A 3 T superconducting magnet has been designed and constructed for magnetic Compton-profile (MCP) measurements with the new capabilities that the magnetic field direction can be altered quickly (within 5 s) and liquid-He refill is not required for more than one week. For the latter capability, two refrigerators have been directly attached to the cryostat to maintain the low temperature of the radiation shields and for the recondensation of liquid He. The system has been satisfactorily operated for over one week.

A wide range of astrophysical objects, such as the Sun, galaxies, stars, planets, accretion discs etc., have large-scale magnetic fields. Their generation is often based on the dynamo mechanism, which is connected with joint action of the alpha-effect and differential rotation. They compete with the turbulent diffusion. If the dynamo is intensive enough, the magnetic field grows, else it decays. The magnetic field evolution is described by Steenbeck—Krause—Raedler equations, which are quite difficult to be solved. So, for different objects, specific two-dimensional models are used. As for thin discs (this shape corresponds to galaxies and accretion discs), usually, no-z approximation is used. Some of the partial derivatives are changed by the algebraic expressions, and the solenoidality condition is taken into account as well. The field generation is restricted by the equipartition value and saturates if the field becomes comparable with it. From the point of view of mathematical physics, they can be characterized as stable points of the equations. The field can come to these values monotonously or have oscillations. It depends on the type of the stability of these points, whether it is a node or focus. Here, we study the stability of such points and give examples for astrophysical applications.

Magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) based on amorphous Fe-Si-B alloy magnetic particles were prepared. The influence of annealing treatment on stability and rheological property of MRFs was investigated. The saturation magnetization ( Ms) of amorphous Fe-Si-B particles after annealing at 550°C is 131.5 emu/g, which is higher than that of amorphous Fe-Si-B particles without annealing. Moreover, the stability of MRF with annealed amorphous Fe-Si-B particles is better than that of MRF without annealed amorphous Fe-Si-B particles. Stearic acid at 3 wt% was added to the MRF2 to enhance the fluid stability to greater than 90%. In addition, the rheological properties demonstrate that the prepared amorphous particle MRF shows relatively strong magnetic responsiveness, especially when the magnetic field strength reaches 365 kA/m. As the magnetic field intensified, the yield stress increased dramatically and followed the Herschel-Bulkley model.


The stability of viscous flow between two coaxial cylinders maintained by a constant transverse pressure gradient is considered when the fluid is an electrical conductor and a uniform magnetic field is impressed in the axial direction. The problem is solved and the dependence of the critical number for the onset of instability on the strength of the magnetic field and the coefficient of electrical conductivity of the fluid is determined.


In this paper the theory of the stability of viscous flow between two rotating coaxial cylinders which has been developed by Taylor, Jeffreys and Meksyn is extended to the case when the fluid considered is an electrical conductor and a magnetic field along the axis of the cylinders is present. A differential equation of order eight is derived which governs the situation in marginal stability; and a significant set of boundary conditions for the problem is formulated. The case when the two cylinders are rotating in the same direction and the difference ( d ) in their radii is small compared to their mean (R 0 ) is investigated in detail. A variational procedure for solving the underlying characteristic value problem and determining the critical Taylor numbers for the onset of instability is described. As in the case of thermal instability of a horizontal layer of fluid heated below, the effect of the magnetic field is to inhibit the onset of instability, the inhibiting effect being the greater, the greater the strength of the field and the value of the electrical conductivity. In both cases, the inhibiting effect of the magnetic field depends on the strength of the field ( H ), the density ( ρ ) and the coefficients of electrical conductivity ( σ ), kinematic viscosity ( v ) and magnetic permeability ( μ ) through the same non-dimensional combination Q =μ 2 H 2 d 2 σ/ pv ; however, the effect on rotational stability is more pronounced than on thermal instability. A table of the critical Taylor numbers for various values of Q is provided.

Introduction: The evolution of pacemaker/ICD safety in the magnetic field has triggered considerable interest in more clinical routine use. However, many limitations to widespread adoption of this seemingly implausible idea just a few years ago remain: unresolved impact of the high magnetic field, RF amplitude and oscillatory forces on electronics with possible high field damage to capacitor, solenoid and microcircuitry. However, given recent vender refinements over the last 10 years, we hypothesized that the impact on such circuitry may be far less than expected. Method: Consecutive interrogation of 940 pts who underwent clinically indicated MRI were evaluated over 5 years. This cohort was comprised of neuro/neurosurgical (72%), orthopedic (11%) and cardiac (17%) cases. Routine interrogation was performed within 10 min of entry into the bore of a dedicated Cardiac MRI (GE, 1.5T, WI). As well, reinterrogation was performed within 10 min of departure MRI (average 21±12min). At the time of interrogation pre and post MRI, a separate, repeat interrogation was performed within 5 min of each other such that 2 sets of PM/ICD parameters were obtained pre and post MRI. Result: No complications to either pt or device occurred during the MRI comprising 564 PMs and 376 ICDs. A cardiologist was present guiding the interrogation, configuration, and reconfiguration of the PM/ICD as well was present for entire MRI. There were no significant differences in common clinical parameters. More importantly, there was no difference in any parameter when compared in any order pre to post MRI scan. See Table. Conclusion: Intrinsic variability and inherent changes triggered by MRI environments are clinically insignificant and statistically negligible thereby removing yet another of the last remaining fears and apprehensions for primary PM/ICD failure and destruction as we move towards a more uniform acceptance of this technology for clinically meaningful use, dissemination and acceptance.

It is explained how plateaux are seen in the Hall conductance of two dimensional electron gases, at cryogenic temperatures, when the magnetic field is scanned from zero to ~10T. On a Hall plateau σ‎xy = ne 2/h, where n is integral, while the longitudinal conductance vanishes. This is the integral quantum Hall effect. Free electrons in such devices are shown to occupy quantized Landau levels, analogous to classical cyclotron orbits. The stability of the IQHE is shown to be associated with a mobility gap rather than an energy gap. The analysis showing the topological origin of the IQHE is reproduced. Next the fractional QHE is described: Laughlin’s explanation in terms of an IQHE of quasiparticles is presented. In the absence of any magnetic field, the quantum spin Hall effect is observed, and described here. Time reversal invariance and Kramer pairs are seen to be underlying requirements. It’s topological origin is outlined.
