Abstract From the standpoint of its magnetic anisotropy, stretched rubber is comparable in a first approximation to a uniaxial crystal, in which the direction of the axis is the same as the direction of elongation. It is possible to measure this anisotropy by means of the oscillation method used by Krishnan, Guha and Banerjee in studying crystals. The sample to be examined is suspended in a uniform horizontal magnetic field in such a manner that its axis is horizontal. It is then so arranged that the torsion of the suspension wire is zero when the rubber sample is in a position of equilibrium in the field. The times of oscillation T′ and T for very small angular displacements around this position, in the presence and then in the absence of the magnetic field, are then recorded. In this way the difference between the specific susceptibilities in the direction of the axis and in the horizontal direction perpendicular to the axis is calculated by application of the equation:

Abstract The High Precision Magnetometer (HPM) is one of the main payloads onboard the China Seismo-Electromagnetic Satellite (CSES). The HPM consists of two Fluxgate Magnetometers (FGM) and the Coupled Dark State Magnetometer (CDSM), and measures the magnetic field from DC to 15 Hz. The FGMs measure the vector components of the magnetic field; while the CDSM detects the magnitude of the magnetic field with higher accuracy, which can be used to calibrate the linear parameters of the FGM. In this paper, brief descriptions of measurement principles and performances of the HPM, ground, and in-orbit calibration results of the FGMs are presented, including the thermal drift and magnetic interferences from the satellite. The HPM in-orbit vector data calibration includes two steps: sensor non-linearity corrections based on on-ground calibration and fluxgate linear parameter calibration based on the CDSM measurements. The calibration results show a reasonably good stability of the linear parameters over time. The difference between the field magnitude calculated from the calibrated FGM components and the magnitude directly measured by the CDSM is just 0.5 nT (1σ) when the linear parameters are fitted separately for the day- and the night-side. Satellite disturbances have been analyzed including soft and hard remanence as well as magnetization of the magnetic torquer, radiation from the Tri-Band Beacon, and interferences from the rotation of the solar wing. A comparison shows consistency between the HPM and SWARM magnetic field data. Observation examples are introduced in the paper, which show that HPM data can be used to survey the global geomagnetic field and monitor the magnetic field disturbances in the ionosphere.

This preliminary study focused on the effect of exposure to 0.5 T static magnetic fields on Escherichia coli adhesion and orientation. We investigated the difference in bacterial adhesion on the surface of glass and indium tin oxide-coated glass when exposed to a magnetic field either perpendicular or parallel to the adhesion surface (vectors of magnetic induction are perpendicular or parallel to the adhesion surface, respectively). Control cultures were simultaneously grown under identical conditions but without exposure to the magnetic field. We observed a decrease in cell adhesion after exposure to the magnetic field. Orientation of bacteria cells was affected after exposure to a parallel magnetic field. On the other hand, no effect on the orientation of bacteria cells was observed after exposure to a perpendicular magnetic field.

For nanocrystalline alloy Fe73.5Cu1Nb3Si13.5B9 thermomechanical treatment was carried out simultaneously with nanocrystallizing annealing (1) or after it (2). It was shown that a change in magnetic properties for the case 1 is essentially greater than for the case 2. Complex effect of thermomagnetic and thermomechanical treatments on magnetic properties was studied in the above-mentioned nanocrystalline alloy as well as in the amorphous alloy Fe5Co70.6Si15B9.4., During the annealings both field and stress were aligned with the long side of the specimens. It was shown that the magnetic field, AC or DC, decreases an effect of loading. Moreover, the magnetic field, AC or DC, applied after stress-annealing can destroy the magnetic anisotropy already induced under load.

This article presents an experimental study of magnetohydrodynamic convection in a tall vertical slot under the influence of a horizontal magnetic field. The test fluid is an eutectic sodium potassium Na22K78 alloy with a small Prandtl number of Pr ≈ 0:02. The experimental setup covers Rayleigh numbers in the range 103 [lsim ] Ra [lsim ] 8×104 and Hartmann numbers 0 < M < 1600. The effect of the magnetic field on the convective heat transport is determined not only by damping as expected from Joule dissipation but also, for magnetic fields not too strong, the convective heat transfer may be considerably enhanced compared to ordinary hydrodynamic (OHD) flow. Estimates of the isotropy properties of the flow by a four-element temperature probe demonstrate that the increase in convective heat transport accompanies the formation of strong local anisotropy of the turbulent eddies in the sense of an alignment of the main direction of vorticity with the magnetic field. The reduced three-dimensional nonlinearities in non-isotropic flow favour the formation of largescale vortex structures compared to OHD flow, which are more effective for convective heat transport. Along with the formation of quasi-two-dimensional vortex structures, temperature fluctuations may be considerably enhanced in a magnetic field that is not too strong. However, above Hartmann numbers M [gsim ] 400 the formerly strongly time-dependent flow suddenly becomes stationary with an extended region of high convective heat transport at stationary flow. Finally, for very high Hartmann numbers the convective motion is strongly suppressed and the heat transport is reduced to a state close to pure heat conduction.

It has been mentioned by Professor Voigt of Göttingen in his newly published book and by Professor Zeeman of Amsterdam in the Physikalische Zeitschrift, that I have found examples of strongly marked dissymmetry in studying the Zeeman Effect in tungsten and molybdenum. Professor Zeeman has also discovered and published such cases of dissymmetry in other elements. Not only have many examples of normal dissymmetry been found, but almost as many cases of abnormal dissymmetry. To explain those terms, normal and abnormal, let us consider that the single spectrum line is broken up, when the light is in the magnetic field, into the three components, 1, 2, 3, where the numbers begin from the component which has the shortest wave-length. In the normal dissymmetrical triplet the middle component is nearer the component on the red side than that on the violet one, i.e. for the normal type the interval 1–2 is greater than the interval 2–3, but in the abnormal dissymmetrical triplet 2 is nearer to 1 than to 3. These observations of Professor Zeeman and myself, which were made at the same time in the Universities of Amsterdam and Göttingen, having been communicated to Professor Voigt, he wrote and published in the above-mentioned book an extension to his and Professor H. A. Lorentz's theories of the Zeeman Effect. In his original theory Professor Voigt had shown that, considering the electrons as uncoupled, cases of normal dissymmetry might arise among the Zeeman triplets, this dissymmetry being accompanied by a greater intensity of the red component than the violet one. He pointed out also that the ‘absolute’ dissymmetry or the difference between the absolute displacements of the red and violet components should be independent of the magnetic field strength used to produce the Zeeman Effect. To explain the large numbers of complicated types of Zeeman Effect which have been found —in the study of the Zeeman Effect in tungsten I discovered lines with no fewer than 17 to 19 components, the largest numbers hitherto found—Professors Voigt and Lorentz made use in their theories of couplings between electrons of the same vibration frequencies.

This paper examines the characteristics of stick-slip phenomena between the glass plate and Magneto-Rheological Elastomer (MRE) surface. Stick-slip phenomena are the spontaneous jerking motion that occurs while two objects are sliding over each other, usually accompanied by noise. Stick-slip is generated when it involves discontinuous frictional degradation when moving from static friction to dynamic friction. The phenomena can lead to uneven wear patterns, vibration and squeal noise which cause a shorter lifespan for the corresponding mechanical elements. MREs are kind of function materials to consist of a polymeric matrix with embedded ferromagnetic particles. Mechanical properties of the MREs can be controlled by the application of magnetic fields. The magnetic field-based controllability can be applied to the control of stick-slip phenomena. The friction experiment is conducted with the Reciprocating Friction Tester (RFT). The sliding speed of the RFT should be in low-speed conditions in order to make the stick-slips relatively easy to occur. A uniform magnetic field and a weight load are applied to the MRE sample to observe the effect of various experimental parameters on the movement of the stick-slip. In addition, frictional sounds due to the stick-slip phenomenon under different loads and magnetic field strength are measured and analyzed. The results of this experiment show that as the strength of the magnetic field increases, the difference in stiffness between the wipers-glass decreases, mitigating fricatives. The result is expected to be well applied to low-noise automotive wipers based on the controllability of friction behavior and squeal noise.

Context.Convectively driven flows play a crucial role in the dynamo processes that are responsible for producing magnetic activity in stars and planets. It is still not fully understood why many astrophysical magnetic fields have a significant large-scale component.Aims.Our aim is to investigate the dynamo properties of compressible convection in a rapidly rotating Cartesian domain, focusing upon a parameter regime in which the underlying hydrodynamic flow is known to be unstable to a large-scale vortex instability.Methods.The governing equations of three-dimensional non-linear magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) are solved numerically. Different numerical schemes are compared and we propose a possible benchmark case for other similar codes.Results.In keeping with previous related studies, we find that convection in this parameter regime can drive a large-scale dynamo. The components of the mean horizontal magnetic field oscillate, leading to a continuous overall rotation of the mean field. Whilst the large-scale vortex instability dominates the early evolution of the system, the large-scale vortex is suppressed by the magnetic field and makes a negligible contribution to the mean electromotive force that is responsible for driving the large-scale dynamo. The cycle period of the dynamo is comparable to the ohmic decay time, with longer cycles for dynamos in convective systems that are closer to onset. In these particular simulations, large-scale dynamo action is found only when vertical magnetic field boundary conditions are adopted at the upper and lower boundaries. Strongly modulated large-scale dynamos are found at higher Rayleigh numbers, with periods of reduced activity (grand minima-like events) occurring during transient phases in which the large-scale vortex temporarily re-establishes itself, before being suppressed again by the magnetic field.

Abstract The stability of the plane interface separating two Rivlin-Ericksen elastico-viscous superposed fluids of uniform densities when the whole system is immersed in a uniform horizontal magnetic field has been studied. The stability analysis has been carried out, for mathematical simplicity, for two highly viscous fluids of equal kinematic viscosities and equal kinematic viscoelasticities. It is found that the stability criterion is independent of the effects of viscosity and viscoelasticity and is dependent on the orientation and magnitude of the magnetic field. The magnetic field is found to stabilize a certain wave-number range of the unstable configuration. The behaviour of growth rates with respect to kinematic viscosity and kinematic viscoelasticity parameters are examined numerically.

Abstract The stability of the plane interface separating two Oldroydian viscoelastic superposed moving fluids of uniform densities when immersed in a uniform horizontal magnetic field has been in­ vestigated. The stability analysis has been carried out, for mathematical simplicity, for two highly viscous fluids of equal kinematic viscosities. It is found that the potentially stable configuration remains stable if the fluids are at rest, while it becomes unstable if the fluids move. The stability criterion is found to be independent of the viscosity and viscoelasticity, and to be dependent on the orientation of the magnetic field and the magnitudes of the fluids and Alfven velocities. It is also found that the potentially unstable configuration remains unstable in the absence of average fluid velocities, or in the presence of fluid velocities and absence of a magnetic field. The magnetic field is found to stabilize a certain wavenumbers range of the unstable configuration even in the presence of the effects of viscoelasticity. The behaviour of growth rates with respect to the stress relaxation time, strain retardation time, fluid and Alfven velocity parameters is examined analytically, and the stability conditions are obtained and discussed. -Pacs: 47.20.-k; 47.50.+d; 47.65.+a.

A dyke of sulfide ore may be geophysically prospected by observing its electromagnetic response to a slowly oscillating magnetic dipole source. An excellent first approximation of the fields generated is obtained by considering the idealized case of a dyke of infinite conductivity and vanishing thickness in a vacuum. Surprisingly, this idealized problem can be solved exactly in terms of a newly discovered Green’s function for Laplace’s equation (in three dimensions) which is simply expressed in closed form. The magnetic scalar potential and the magnetic field are given for final results.
