Geomagnetic prospection is an efficient and environmentally friendly geophysical method for the analysis of the magnetic minerals’ distribution in the subsurface. High-resolution measurements require on-ground campaigns. However, these activities might imply high costs, risk and time consumption. Some more recent works have started to use magnetometers on-board remote piloted aircrafts. Normally, they fly at a constant altitude and use scalar probes. This configuration permits the determination of the magnitude of the magnetic field but not the direction, and requires advanced techniques for in-depth interpretation of the sources. In this manuscript, we describe the accommodation of a system for vector magnetometry in a drone whose flight altitude follows the elevation of the terrain. This singularity improves the capability of interpretation, including constraints in dating due to the record of the geomagnetic field. The work consists of the design, development and implementation of a solidary payload system anchored to the body of the platform in order to determine the vector magnetic field. It describes the details of the system and the performance characteristics obtained after the calibration, as well as its demonstration via a field campaign in the spatter deposits of Cerro Gordo volcano in Campos de Calatrava volcanic province in Spain.

Aims. The determination of the magnetic filed vector in solar filaments is made possible by interpreting the Hanle and Zeeman effects in suitable chromospheric spectral lines like those of the He I multiplet at 10 830 Å. We study the vector magnetic field of an active region filament (NOAA 12087). Methods. Spectropolarimetric data of this active region was acquired with the GRIS instrument at the GREGOR telescope and studied simultaneously in the chromosphere with the He I 10 830 Å multiplet and in the photosphere Si I 10 827 Å line. As has been done in previous studies, only a single-component model was used to infer the magnetic properties of the filament. The results are put into a solar context with the help of the Solar Dynamic Observatory images. Results. Some results clearly point out that a more complex inversion had to be performed. First, the Stokes V map of He I does not show a clear signature of the presence of the filament. Second, the local azimuth map follows the same pattern as Stokes V; it appears that polarity of Stokes V is conditioning the inference to very different magnetic fields even with similar linear polarization signals. This indication suggests that the Stokes V could be dominated from below by the magnetic field coming from the active region, and not from the filament itself. This evidence, and others, will be analyzed in depth and a more complex inversion will be attempted in the second part of this series.

Multichannel magnetocardiography measures the magnetic field distribution of the human heart noninvasively from many sites over the body surface. Multichannel magnetocardiogram (MCG) analysis enables regional temporal differences in the distribution of cardiac magnetic field strength during depolarization and repolarization to be identified, allowing estimation of the global and local inhomogeneity of the cardiac activation process. The aim of this study was to compare the spatial distribution of cardiac magnetic field strength during ventricular depolarization and repolarization in both normal subjects and patients with cardiac abnormalities, obtaining amplitude measurements by magnetocardiography. MCGs were recorded at 49 sites over the heart from three normal subjects and two patients with inverted T-wave conditions. The magnetic field intensity during depolarization and repolarization was measured automatically for each channel and displayed spatially as contour maps. A Pearson correlation was used to determine the spatial relationship between the variables. For normal subjects, magnetic field strength maps during depolarization (R-wave) showed two asymmetric regions of magnetic field strength with a high positive value in the lower half of the chest and a high negative value above this. The regions of high R-wave amplitude corresponded spatially to concentrated asymmetric regions of high magnetic field strength during repolarization (T-wave). Pearson-r correlation coefficients of 0.7 (p<0.01), 0.8 (p<0.01) and 0.9 (p<0.01) were obtained from this analysis for the three normal subjects. A negative correlation coefficient of -0.7 (p<0.01) was obtained for one of the subjects with inverted T-wave abnormalities, suggesting similar but inverted magnetic field and current distributions to normal subjects. Even with the high correlation values in these four subjects, the MCG was able to identify differences in the distribution of magnetic field strength, with a shift in the T-wave relative to the R-wave. The measurement of cardiac magnetic field distribution during depolarization and repolarization of normal subjects and patients with clinical abnormalities should enable the improvement of theoretical models for the explanation of the cardiac depolarization and repolarization processes.

Abstract The rotational Zeeman-Effect in the microwave spectrum of dimethylketene was investigated at fieldstrengths close to 22 kG. Only ΔJ= 1 rotational transitions with ΔM = ± 1 selection rules did show appreciable splittings due to the magnetic field. From the splittings the diagonal elements of the molecular gr-tensor were determined to be: gaa = ∓ 0.020(3) ; gbb = ∓ 0.0165(8) ; gcc= + 0.0126(5). (Only the relative signs of the g-values are obtained from the experiment). The susceptibility anisotropics were found to be close to zero.

Abstract. It is well-known that interplanetary magnetic clouds can cause strong geomagnetic storms due to the high magnetic field magnitude in their interior, especially if there is a large negative Bz component present. In addition, the magnetic disturbances around such objects can play an important role in their "geo-effectiveness". On the other hand, the magnetic and flow fields in the CME sheath region in front of the body and in the rear of the cloud are important for understanding both the dynamics and the evolution of the interplanetary cloud. The "eventual" aim of this work is to calculate the magnetic field in this CME sheath region in order to evaluate the possible geo-efficiency of the cloud in terms of the maximum |Bz|-component in this region. In this paper we assess the potential of this approach by introducing a model with a simplified geometry. We describe the magnetic field between the CME shock surface and the cloud's boundary by means of a vector potential. We also apply our model and present the magnetic field distribution in the CME sheath region in front of the body and in the rear of the cloud formed after the event of 20 November 2003.

AbstractArgon is commonly used as the sputtering medium for RF sputtering of insulators and is entrapped in the deposits. X-ray emission determination of argon in RF sputtered SiO2 was required as part of a study of the relationships between argon concentration in the deposits and their electrical and physical properties.Concentrations ranging from 0.05 to 7.4 weight % argon were measured in deposits 0.5 to 5μ thick. Two techniques were used for standardization: (1) weight loss of deposits heated for several hours in a helium atmosphere at 600°C; (2) potassium Kα and chlorine Kα measurements on a KCl film of known thickness to infer argon mass/argon Kα net counts. Calibrations made using these procedures agreed to within 10% and are reliable to about ±25% on an absolute basis. Absorption of radiation by the deposits was taken into account and used to correct measured argon intensities for absorption.Sputtering parameters which had major effects on argon concentration were the substrate temperature and the magnetic field applied during sputtering. Argon pressure and RF power were found to have lesser effects.
