abstract As a result of the CANNIKIN nuclear explosion, the magnetic field several kilometers from the epicenter appears to have been permanently altered. Within 30 sec after detonation, a proton magnetometer 3 km away recorded a 9-gamma step increase in total magnetic field. Continuous difference recordings between the station at a distance of 3 km from the epicenter and one at 9 km showed that a 7.0-gamma average increase was maintained between these locations for 8 days after the shot. Along a 12-km traverse centered across a portion of a fault 1.6 km from ground zero, postshot-minus-preshot magnetic field difference readings decreased semi-sinusoidally from a high value of +13 gammas in the shot-contained block to a low value of −11 gammas in the distal block. Within 15 m to either side of the fault trace, a 15-gamma wedge-shaped magnetic low was observed. The magnetic effects can be reasonably interpreted as being caused by either shot-produced residual stresses or shot-caused alterations of remanent magnetization.

In this paper, the shape of the samples was changed by the magnetic field. Single-crystalline nanowires (20 nm in diameter and 1 μm in length) of MnOOH were obtained under zero magnetic fields. However, cubic particles of Mn3O4 were formed when a magnetic field was applied.

The TC4 titanium alloy was subjected to high static magnetic field (HSMF) treatment with different magnetic induced intensities (B=0、1T、2T、3T、4T、5T、6T and 7T). The effects of B on the texture, dislocation density, grain size, tensile properties and micro-hardness of TC4 titanium alloy were investigated, and the influence mechanism of magneto-plastic effect on the plastic deformation ability of titanium alloy was also been studied. The results showed that the dislocation density had been increased after the HSME treatment. It reached a maximum when B=2 T, which was enhanced by 1.6 times compared to that of the untreated samples. In the view of quantum scale,the magnetic field promoted the transition of radical pairs from singlet to triplet state, which caused the movement of dislocation, led to the dislocation depinning from the depinning center, and increased the flexibility of dislocation. Subsequently, the inevitability of optimized 2T parameter was further discussed in the dislocation pile-up. Furthermore, the magnetic field not only promoted the orientation preference of crystal plane along the slipping direction, but also had the effect on the grain refinement. Meanwhile the elongation had been increased due to HSMF treatment. The average elongation of TC4 alloy was 13.12% which was enhanced by 31.07% compared to that of the untreated sample which was 10.01%. And, the elongation increased with the increment of magnetic induction intensity B. The HSME treatment could also play a role in hardening alloys. When B=2 T the micro-hardness was 344.88 HV, which was increased by 8.09% compared to that without treatment. The micro-hardness was consistent with the change of the "point" of the dislocation density, which was characterized by dislocation strengthening.

The aim of the present study was to compare the EEG signal recorded outside and inside a 1.5T magnetic resonance (MR) scanner. The EEG was recorded in eyes open and eyes closed conditions using a digital recording MR-compatible system. To characterize how a static magnetic field induces changes in EEG signal, EEG data were analyzed using FFT frequency analysis. No significant difference between the alpha powers recorded outside and inside the magnetic field was observed in eyes closed conditions. However, in eyes open condition there was a significant increase in alpha power inside the magnet in comparison to the outside position. The changes in alpha power according to the eyes open/closed conditions could be inversely correlated to a subject's state of wakefulness and due to some physiological changes, rather than an effect of the magnetic field. This experiment suggests that subjects' state of wakefulness is of prime concern when performing functional MRI.

The magnetic field along a hole bored through a sequence of dipping layers with varying magnetization and planar interfaces is calculated. The emphasis is on recovering remanent magnetization polarity transitions for magnetostratigraphic applications (dating, correlations), although intensity of remanent magnetization can in itself be a useful rock property. Results are presented for various cases of geologic interest in the form of axial vertical profiles and section maps of the holes at varying distances from polarity reversal interfaces. The vertical profiles demonstrate a resolving power of about six times the hole radius; meaningful magnetostratigraphies can be expected for rocks with a magnetization larger than [Formula: see text], for instruments with a sensitivity of 0.1 nT. In a number of natural occurrences, it may not be necessary to resort to progressive demagnetization to recover the polarity sequence. Depending on which magnetic field and magnetization component one looks at, the section maps display characteristic patterns, in which, for instance, the direction of magnetization and the dip of the layers interfere. These maps are discussed in some detail. They can be used as guidelines to build a multisensor vector magnetometer (downhole magnetostratigraphic tool), whose output should be coupled with measurement of magnetic susceptibility for reduction of induced magnetization and with output from a surface instrument in a differential operation mode to reduce transient magnetic variations.

In order to measure the magnetic field around electronic products, household appliances and industrial electrical equipment, this paper puts forward a new method which makes use of electromagnetic coupling design based on three-axis electromagnetic leakage. This method can overcome the disadvantage of traditional single-axis measurement which needs to get the total magnetic field after several times’ measurement. This paper designs three-axis electromagnetic leakage detector for circuit measurement, which is proved to be correct after circuit measurement experiment. It can easily detect 30-2K Hz leakage magnetic field of low frequency generated from electrical appliances products.Introduction.

We succeeded in fabricating c-axis (00l) oriented ZnO ceramics by using a rotating magnetic field and a subsequent sintering treatment. The degree of orientation in the green compact was about 0.5 along (00l) on the Lotgering scale. The degree of orientation increased to 0.99 after sintering at 1573 K. Particles can also be oriented in a static magnetic field, but along the direction of the a-axis or a,b-axes (h00), (hk0). These results show that selected axes can be oriented by controlling the magnetic field. Control of the crystal form in microstructures is expected to result in improvements in and better miniaturization of functional ceramics.

The interaction of a plane, electromagnetic wave with a flat, uniform free-space – plasma interface in a static magnetic field has been considered for arbitrary angles of incidence. The dispersion relation for the plasma is a complex quartic equation which reduces to a quadratic if the static magnetic field and plasma boundary are oriented along any one of the rectangular co-ordinate axes. (These axes need not simultaneously be the same for the plasma and the magnetic field.)Numerical results are presented for the attenuation and phase constants for each of the two possible waves in the plasma, for each orientation of the static magnetic field. Data are given for various angles of incidence, plasma properties, and orientations of the static magnetic field relative to the plasma boundary.Inspection of the fields in the plasma reveals some interesting aspects. In certain cases, waves which appear to move upward towards the plasma interface exist. Since these waves may carry energy into the plasma, they have been referred to as "backward" waves. Totally reflected waves which have both finite attenuation and finite phase coefficients can also exist in the plasma. These have been termed "modified Sommerfeld" waves.

Abstract The frequency of exposure to strong magnetic fields has increased as the magnetic-resonance image-diagnostic technique (MRI) and passenger transport systems based on the principle of magnetic levitation have come into wider use. Accordingly, it has become necessary to more systematically assess their influence on the body and set strict guidelines on acceptable limits of magnetism exposure. Therefore, we have assessed the influence of an uniform static magnetic field (8 T in maximum) on normal erythrocytes. The erythrocytes were oriented with their disk plane parallel to the magnetic field direction. These erythrocytes were influenced even by 1 T and almost 100% of them were oriented when exposed to 4 T. Furthermore, the degree of orientation was not influenced by the state of hemoglobin (oxy: diamagnetic, deoxy and met: paramagnetic). The dependence of the measured degree of orientation on the intensity of the magnetic field was in good agreement with the theoretical equation for the magnetic orientation of diamagnetic substances. As a result of a numerical analysis based on the equation, the anisotropic diamagnetic susceptibility of erythrocytes was found to be delta chi = 8 x 10(-22) electromagnetic units/erythrocyte. It was almost in agreement with the calculated value delta chi = 6 x 10(-22) emu/erythrocyte estimated from the diamagnetism of the membrane constituents of erythrocyte.

AbstractThe paper investigates the effect of a static magnetic field on the helical flow of an incompressible cholestenc liquid crystal with director of unit magnitude between two coaxial circular cylinders rotating with different angular velocities about their common axis and moving with different axial velocities. At low shear rates with a weak magnetic field in the axial direction, the axial velocity, the angular velocity and the orientation of molecules between the two cylinders have been obtained. It is found that the magnetic field has influenced the orientation of molecules while the axial velocity and the angular velocity remain uneffected by the magnetic field.

We have developed an approach for the interpretation of magnetic field data that can be used when measured anomalies are affected by significant remanent magnetization components. The method deals with remanent effects by using the normalized source strength (NSS), a quantity calculated from the eigenvectors of the magnetic gradient tensor. The NSS is minimally affected by the direction of remanent magnetization present and compares well with other transformations of the magnetic field that are used for the same purpose. It therefore offers a way of inverting magnetic data containing the effects of remanent magnetizations, particularly when these are unknown and are possibly varying within a given data set. We use a standard 3D inversion algorithm to invert NSS data from an area where varying remanence directions are apparent, resulting in a more reliable image of the subsurface magnetization distribution than possible using the observed magnetic field data directly.
