This +study uncovers a new, highly effective way of controlling the magnetic +permeability via shaping the magnonic properties in coupled magnetic waveguides +separated by current carrying spacer with strong spin-orbit coupling. The +spin-orbit torques exerted on the waveguides leads to an externally tunable +enhancement of magnetic damping in one waveguide and a decreased damping in the +other, constituting so a magnetic parity-time (PT) symmetric system with +emergent magnetic properties at the verge of the exceptional point where +magnetic gains/losses are balanced. In addition to controlling the magnetic +permeability, phenomena inherent to PT-symmetric systems are identified, +including the control on magnon power oscillations, nonreciprocal magnon +propagation, magnon trapping and enhancement as well as the increased +sensitivity to magnetic perturbation and abrupt spin reversal. These +predictions are demonstrated analytically and confirmed by full numerical +simulations under experimentally feasible conditions. The position of the +exceptional points and the strength of the spontaneous PT symmetry breaking can +be tuned by external electric and/or magnetic fields.

We carry out the first exploration of what happens +to the decoupled magnetic flux in 3D, using an MHD version of the ENZO adaptive +mesh refinement code. The field-matter decoupling is achieved through a sink +particle treatment, which is needed to follow the protostellar accretion phase +of star formation.

It generates a strong asymmetry in the +protostellar accretion flow, potentially giving a kick to the star. In the +presence of an initial core rotation, the structure presents an obstacle to the +formation of a rotationally supported disk, in addition to magnetic braking, by +acting as a rigid magnetic wall that prevents the rotating gas from completing +a full orbit around the central object.

The segregation, in terms of accumulated magnetic +helicity and energy budgets, of the eruptive ARs from the noneruptive ones is +violated in one case when an AR erupts early in its emergence phase and in six +cases with noneruptive ARs exhibiting large magnetic helicity and energy +budgets. Decay index calculations may indicate that these ARs did not erupt +because the overlying magnetic field provided stronger or more extended +confinement than in eruptive ARs. Conclusions.

We find that MHD turbulence driven by the magnetorotational +instability (MRI) produces strong amplification of weak fields within two scale +heights of the disk midplane in a few orbital times. About 25 % of the magnetic +energy generated by the MRI within two scale heights escapes due to buoyancy, +producing a strongly magnetized corona above the disk. Most of the buoyantly +rising magnetic energy is dissipated between 3 and 5 scale heights, suggesting +the corona will also be hot. The average vertical disk structure consists of a +weakly magnetized turbulent core below a strongly magnetized corona which is +stable to the MRI. The largescale field structure in both the disk and corona +is toroidal. The functional form of the stress is flat within two scale +heights, but proportional to the density above two scale heights. + For initially weak uniform vertical fields, we find the exponential growth of +magnetic field via axisymmetric vertical modes of the MRI produces strongly +buoyant sheets of magnetic energy which break the disk apart into horizontal +channels. These channels rise several scale heights vertically before the onset +of the Parker instability distorts the sheets and allows matter to flow back +towards the midplane and reform a disk.

Flares are +driven by unwinding of internal non-potential magnetic fields which leads to +slow build-up of magnetic energy outside of the neutron star.

The current-carrying, +Poynting flux-dominated magnetic tower jet, which possesses a highly wound +helical magnetic field, is subject to the current-driven instability (CDI). We +find that, under general physical conditions including small perturbations in +the initial background profiles, the propagating magnetic tower jets develop +the non-axisymmetric, $m=1$ kink mode of the CDI. The kink mode grows on the +local Alfv\'en crossing time scale. In addition, two types of kink modes appear +in the system. At the central region where external thermal pressure +confinement is strong, only the internal kink mode is excited and will grow. A +large distance away from the central region where the external thermal pressure +becomes low, the external kink mode is observed. As a result, the exterior of +magnetic tower jets will be deformed into a large-scale wiggled structure. We +also discuss extensively the different physical processes that contribute to +the overall stability properties of the magnetic tower jets. Specifically, when +the jet propagates in an initially unperturbed background, we find that they +can survive the kink mode beyond the point predicted by the well-known +Kruskal-Shafranov (K-S) criterion. The stabilization in this case comes mainly +from the dynamical relaxation of magnetic twists during the propagation of +magnetic towers; the magnetic pitch is reduced and the corresponding K-S +critical wavelength becomes longer as the tower jet proceeds. Furthermore, we +show that the pressure-driven and Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities do not occur +in the magnetic tower jets.",0609007v1 +2007-05-26,Catastrophic eruption of magnetic flux rope in the corona and solar wind with and without magnetic reconnection,"It is generally believed that the magnetic free energy accumulated in the +corona serves as a main energy source for solar explosions such as coronal mass +ejections (CMEs).

Both ways of magnetic energy +release are thought to be important to CME dynamics. To disentangle their +contributions, we construct a flux rope catastrophe model in the corona and +solar wind and compare different cases in which we either prohibit or allow +magnetic reconnection to take place across rapidly-growing current sheets +during the eruption. It is demonstrated that CMEs, even fast ones, can be +produced taking the ideal MHD catastrophe as the only process of magnetic +energy release. Nevertheless, the eruptive speed can be significantly enhanced +after magnetic reconnection sets in. In addition, a smooth transition from slow +to fast eruptions is observed when increasing the strength of the background +magnetic field, simply because in a stronger field there is more free magnetic +energy at the catastrophic point available to be released during an eruption. +This suggests that fast and slow CMEs may have an identical driving mechanism.",0705.3885v1 +2008-04-07,A new probe of magnetic fields during high-mass star formation: Zeeman splitting of 6.7 GHz methanol masers,"Context: The role of magnetic fields during high-mass star formation is a +matter of fierce debate, yet only a few direct probes of magnetic field +strengths are available. + Aims: The magnetic field is detected in a number of massive star-forming +regions through polarization observations of 6.7 GHz methanol masers.

In this paper, we study the interaction of IGWs with a magnetic +field to test this mechanism. We consider two background stellar structures: +one with a uniform magnetic field, and another with a magnetic field that +varies both horizontally and vertically. We derive analytic solutions to the +wave propagation problem and validate them with numerical simulations. In both +cases, we find perfect conversion from IGWs into magnetic waves when the IGWs +propagate into a region exceeding a critical magnetic field strength. Downward +propagating IGWs cannot reflect into upward propagating IGWs because their +vertical wavenumber never approaches zero. Instead, they are converted into +upward propagating slow (Alfvenic) waves, and we show they will likely +dissipate as they propagate back into weakly magnetized regions. Therefore, +strong internal magnetic fields can produce dipole mode suppression in red +giants, and gravity modes will likely be totally absent from the pulsation +spectra of sufficiently magnetized stars.",1610.08506v2 +2019-02-09,Full particle-in-cell simulation of the interaction between two plasmas for laboratory experiments on the generation of magnetized collisionless shocks with high-power lasers,"A preliminary numerical experiment is conducted for laboratory experiments on +the generation of magnetized collisionless shocks with high-power lasers by +using one-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation.

Since the previous study suggested the +generation of spontaneous magnetic field in the piston (Aluminum) plasma due to +the Biermann battery, the effect of the magnetic field is of interest. Sharp +jumps of electron density and magnetic field are observed around the interface +between the two plasmas as long as one of the two plasmas is magnetized, which +indicates the formation of tangential electron-magneto-hydro-dynamic +discontinuity. When the Aluminum plasma is magnetized, strong compression of +both density and magnetic field takes place in the pure Aluminum plasma during +the gyration of Nitrogen ions in the Aluminum plasma region.

We consider emerging magnetic fields +with different topologies and investigate how the magnetic helicity flux +patterns corresponds to the dynamics of emergence. To investigate how the +helicity input is connected to the emergence process, we consider two forms of +the helicity flux. The first is the standard form giving topological +information weighted by magnetic flux. The second form represents the net +winding and can be interpreted as the standard helicity flux less the magnetic +flux. Both quantities provide important and distinct information about the +structure of the emerging field and these quantities differ significantly for +mixed sign helicity fields.

This non-monotonic behavior is in sharp contrast with the +well-studied monotonic $H$-dependency of the shear stress in conventional +ferrofluids, where the shear stress increases with $H$ until it reaches a +saturation value. We relate the origin of this non-monotonicity to the +competing effects of particle alignment along the shear-induced direction, on +the one hand, and the magnetic field direction, on the other hand. To isolate +the role of these competing effects, we consider a two-component mixture +composed of particles with effectively identical steric interactions, where the +orientations of a small fraction, i.e.\ the magnetic ones, are coupled to the +external magnetic field. By increasing $H$ from zero, the orientations of the +magnetic particles show a Fr\'{e}ederickz-like transition and eventually start +deviating from the shear-induced orientation, leading to an increase in shear +stress. Upon further increase of $H$, a demixing of the magnetic particles from +the non-magnetic ones occurs which leads to a drop in shear stress, hence +creating a non-monotonic response to $H$. Unlike the equilibrium demixing +phenomena reported in previous studies, the demixing observed here is neither +due to size-polydispersity nor due to a wall-induced nematic transition.

Subsequently, because of the continuous cancellation of magnetic +flux that happened around the adjacent ends of F1 and another nearby filament +(F2), the magnetic reconections occurred intermittently occurred between F1 and +F2. Finally, F1 lessened in the shear, and F2 became shorter. All the results +show that the formation of F1 was closely associated with intermittent +interactions between the sequence of emerging dipoles and pre-existing magnetic +polarities, and the immediate deformation of F1 was intimately related to +intermittent interactions between F1 and F2. We also suggest that the +intermittent magnetic interactions driven by the continuous magnetic activities +(magnetic-flux emergence, cancellation, and convergence) play an important role +in the formation and deformation of filaments.",2202.09633v2 +2022-05-16,Pseudostreamer influence on flux rope evolution,"A critical aspect of solar activity is the coupling between eruptions and the +surrounding coronal magnetic field, which determines the trajectory and +morphology of the eruptive event.

The aim of this study was to meet the standard therapeutic +specifications of neuron stimulation, which is an electric field of about 10 +mV/mm for a duration of 50 {\mu}s. From Faraday's Laws of Induction, skyrmion +dynamics that generates an alternating magnetic flux density induces an +electric field for a certain time duration in the ultra-thin film. The results +of this work show that on tuning the skyrmion dynamics, the induced electric +field can reach the standard value required for neurostimulation, thereby +providing a strong futuristic possibility to exploit skyrmion-based spintronic +nanodevices for neuron stimulation.",1901.01349v1 +2020-10-24,Dynamics of test particles around regular black holes in modified gravity,"In the work, we have presented detailed analyses of the event horizon and +curvature properties of spacetime around a regular black hole in modified +gravity so-called regular MOG black hole.

In this contribution, we present a new model for the +calculation of levitation forces between superconducting bulks and permanent +magnet, based on the $H$-formulation of Maxwell's equations coupled with an +Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian formulation. The model uses a moving mesh that +adapts at each time step based on the time-change of the distance between a +superconductor bulk and a permanent magnet. The model is validated against a +fixed mesh model (recently in turn validated against experiments) that uses an +analytical approach for calculating the magnetic field generated by the moving +permanent magnet. Then, it is used to analyze the magnetic field dynamics both +in field-cooled and zero-field-cooled conditions and successively used to test +different configurations of permanent magnets and to compare them in terms of +levitation forces.

Simple examples are the advection of the entropy S +(a 0-form), and the conservation of magnetic flux (an invariant 2-form advected +with the flow). The magnetic flux conservation law is equivalent to Faraday's +equation. We discuss the gauge condition required for the magnetic helicity to +be advected with the flow. The conditions for the cross helicity to be an +invariant are discussed. We discuss the different variants of helicity in fluid +dynamics and in MHD, including: fluid helicity, cross helicity and magnetic +helicity. The fluid helicity conservation law and the cross helcity +conservation law in MHD are derived for the case of a barotropic gas.

In the +former, we find that in the regime in which the downward pumping velocity is +comparable with the Alfven speed of the magnetic layer, flux pumping is able to +hold back the bulk of the magnetic field, with only small pockets of strong +field able to rise into the upper layer. In simulations in which the magnetic +layer is generated by shear, we find that the shear velocity is not necessarily +required to exceed that of the pumping (therefore the kinetic energy of the +shear is not required to exceed that of the overlying convection), for strong +localised pockets of magnetic field to be produced which can rise into the +upper layer. This is because magnetic flux pumping acts to store the field +below the interface, allowing it to be amplified both by the shear, and by +vortical fluid motions, until pockets of field can achieve sufficient strength +to rise into the upper layer. In addition, we find that the interface between +the two layers is a natural location for the production of strong vertical +gradients in the magnetic field. If these gradients are sufficiently strong to +allow the development of magnetic buoyancy instabilities, strong shear is not +necessarily required to drive them (c.f. previous work by Vasil & Brummell).

In this work we analyze the properties of the small-scale dynamo +for low magnetic Prandtl numbers Pm, which denotes the ratio of the magnetic +Reynolds number, Rm, to the hydrodynamical one, Re. We solve the Kazantsev +equation, which describes the evolution of the small-scale magnetic field, +using the WKB approximation. In the limit of low magnetic Prandtl numbers the +growth rate is proportional to Rm^{(1-theta)/(1+theta)}. We furthermore discuss +the critical magnetic Reynolds number Rm_crit, which is required for +small-scale dynamo action. The value of Rm_crit is roughly 100 for Kolmogorov +turbulence and 2700 for Burgers.

In our experiments a microwire coplanar +waveguide delivered radiowaves to excite nuclear spins and microwaves to excite +electron spins in a 250 nm thick nitroxide-doped polystyrene sample. Both +electron and proton spin resonance were observed as a change in the mechanical +resonance frequency of a nearby cantilever having a micron-scale nickel tip. +NMR signal, not observable from Curie-law magnetization at 0.6 tesla, became +observable when microwave irradiation was applied to saturate the electron +spins. The resulting NMR signal's size, buildup time, dependence on microwave +power, and dependence on irradiation frequency was consistent with a transfer +of magnetization from electron spins to nuclear spins. Due to the presence of +an inhomogenous magnetic field introduced by the cantilever's magnetic tip, the +electron spins in the sample were saturated in a microwave-resonant slice 10's +of nm thick.

In +this paper we present an experimentally measurable signature of monopole +dynamics and show that magnetic relaxation measurements in the spin ice +material $Dy_{2}Ti_{2}O_{7}$ can be interpreted entirely in terms of the +diffusive motion of monopoles in the grand canonical ensemble, constrained by a +network of ""Dirac strings"" filling the quasi-particle vacuum. In a magnetic +field the topology of the network prevents charge flow in the steady state, but +there is a monopole density gradient near the surface of an open system.",0903.1074v3 +2009-07-13,A topological gauge field in nanomagnets: spin wave excitations over a slowly moving magnetization background,"We introduce a topological gauge vector potential which influences spin wave +excitations over arbitrary non-uniform, slowly moving magnetization +distribution.

Combining Landau-Lifshitz dynamics +simulations and the analytical Martin-Siggia-Rose (MSR) approach, we show that +the low energy spectra are described by relaxational dynamics and highly +constrained by the zero mode structure of the underlying degenerate classical +manifold. Further, the higher energy spectra can be explained by precessional +dynamics.

But instead of forming the ``magnetically +torqued disk'' (MTD) postulated in previous phenemenological analyses, the +dynamical simulations here show that material trapped near the tops of such +closed loops tends either to fall back or break out, depending on whether it is +below or above the Keplerian corotation radius. Overall the results raise +serious questions about whether magnetic torquing of a wind outflow could +naturally result in a Keplerian circumstellar disk. However, for very strong +fields, it does still seem possible to form a %``magnetically confined, +centrifugally supported, rigid-body disk'', centrifugally supported, +``magnetically rigid disk'' (MRD), in which the field not only forces material +to maintain a rigid-body rotation, but for some extended period also holds it +down against the outward centrifugal force at the loop tops.

We numerically solve the dynamic equations in the +context of the Kerr metric, in which the large-scale magnetic field is +determined by dynamo process and equipartition between magnetic pressure and +gas pressure. Thus we can obtain a global solution rather than assuming the +distribution of large-scale magnetic field beforehand. The main MC effects lie +in three aspects.

We +confirmed that, comparing with the magnetic flux, the magnetic non-potentiality +has a closer connection with the flare, and the emerging flux regions are +important for the magnetic non-potentiality and flares. The main results of +this work are as follows. (1) The vortex in the source field directly displays +the deflection of horizontal magnetic field. The deflection is corresponding to +the fast rotated sunspot with a time delay, which suggests that the sunspot +rotation leads to an increase of the non-potentiality. (2) Two areas that have +evident changes of the azimuth of the vector magnetic field are found near the +magnetic polarity inversion line. The change rates of the azimuth are about 1.3 +deg/h and 3.6 deg/h, respectively. (3) Rapid and prominent increases are found +in the variation of helicity during four flares in their initial brightening +regions.

At low amplitudes of the driving force +$F_{{\rm ac}}$ the dissipation in the system is suppressed due to the +enhancement of the effective viscosity at low frequencies and due to formation +of the magnetic pinning at high frequencies $\omega$. In the adiabatic limit +with low frequencies $\omega$ and high amplitude of the driving force $F_{ac}$, +the vortex and magnetic polarization form a vortex polaron when $F_L(t)$ is +small. When $F_L$ increases, the vortex polaron accelerates and at a threshold +driving force, the vortex polaron dissociates and the motion of vortex and the +relaxation of magnetization are decoupled. When $F_L$ decreases, the vortex is +retrapped by the background of remnant magnetization and they again form vortex +polaron. This process repeats when $F_L(t)$ increases in the opposite +direction. Remarkably, after dissociation, decoupled vortices move in the +periodic potential induced by magnetization which remains for some periods of +time due to retardation after the decoupling.

A self-consistent stationary, axisymmetric model of the magnetar +magnetosphere is constructed based on a force-free magnetic field configuration +which contains a helically twisted force-free flux rope. Given the complex +multipolar magnetic fields at the magnetar surface, we also develop a +convenient numerical scheme to solve the GS equation. Depending on the surface +magnetic field polarity, there exist two kinds of magnetic field +configurations, inverse and normal. For these two kinds of configurations, +variations of the flux rope equilibrium height in response to gradual surface +physical processes, such as flux injections and crust motions, are carefully +examined. We find that equilibrium curves contain two branches, one represents +a stable equilibrium branch, the other an unstable equilibrium branch. As a +result, the evolution of the system shows a catastrophic behavior: when the +magnetar surface magnetic field evolves slowly, the height of flux rope would +gradually reach a critical value beyond which stable equilibriums can no longer +be maintained. Subsequently the flux rope would lose equilibrium and the +gradual quasi-static evolution of the magnetar magnetosphere will be replaced +by a fast dynamical evolution. In addition to flux injections, the relative +motion of active regions would give rise to the catastrophic behavior and lead +to magnetic eruptions as well.

The proper relaxation time and effects of dynamic correlations,"The recently proposed dynamical effective field model (DEFM) is +quantitatively accurate for describing dynamical magnetic response of +ferrofluids. In paper I it is derived under the framework of dynamical density +functional theory, via which the original ensemble of bare Brownian particles +is mapped to an ensemble of dressed particles. However, it remains to clarify +how the characteristic rotational relaxation time of a dressed particle, +denoted by $\tau_r$, is quantitatively related to that of a bare particle, +denoted by $\tau^0_r$. By building macro-micro connections via two different +routes, I reveal that under some gentle assumptions $\tau_r$ can be identified +with the long-time rotational self-diffusion time. I further introduce two +simple but useful integrated correlation factors, describing the effects of +quasi-static (adiabatic) and dynamic (nonadiabatic) inter-particle +correlations, respectively.

From these comparisons, we determined that parallel +pressure induces changes to the second-order axial anisotropy parameter as well +as either the fourth-order axial or fourth-order transverse parameter, or to +both.

Past +years have witnessed active development of kinetic modeling of relativistic +magnetic reconnection, supporting this magnetically dominated scenario. A much +less explored issue is the consequence of 3D dynamics, where turbulent +structures are naturally generated as various types of instabilities develop. +This paper presents a series of 3D, fully-kinetic simulations of relativistic +turbulent magnetic reconnection (RTMR) in positron-electron plasmas with system +domains much larger than kinetic scales. Our simulations start from a +force-free current sheet with several different modes of long wavelength +magnetic field perturbations, which drive additional turbulence in the +reconnection region. Because of this, the current layer breaks up and the +reconnection region quickly evolves into a turbulent layer filled with coherent +structures such as flux ropes and current sheets. We find that plasma dynamics +in RTMR is vastly different from their 2D counterparts in many aspects. The +flux ropes evolve rapidly after their generation, and can be completely +disrupted due to the secondary kink instability. This turbulent evolution leads +to superdiffusion behavior of magnetic field lines as seen in MHD studies of +turbulent reconnection. Meanwhile, nonthermal particle acceleration and +energy-release time scale can be very fast and do not strongly depend on the +turbulence amplitude.

The key difference between this dynamo +and its magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) counterpart is the adiabatic production of +magnetic-field-aligned pressure anisotropy by the amplification of a weak seed +field. This in turn drives kinetic instabilities on the ion-Larmor +scale---namely, firehose and mirror---which sever the adiabatic link between +the thermal and magnetic pressures, thereby allowing the dynamo to proceed. +After an initial phase of rapid growth driven by these instabilities, the +magnetic energy grows exponentially and exhibits a $k^{3/2}$ spectrum that +peaks near the resistive scale, similar to the large-magnetic-Prandtl-number +($\mathrm{Pm}\gg{1}$) MHD dynamo. The magnetic field self-organizes into a +folded-sheet topology, with direction reversals at the resistive scale and +field lines curved at the parallel scale of the flow.

Hence, +there is a need to investigate the mechanical dynamics of the abdominal wall +tissue in insufflated state, combined with magnetic anchoring, specifically its +response to mechanical excitations and the expected disturbances to the +operation of the anchored devices. In this paper, loading and unloading tests +are performed on a corresponding porcine specimen for dynamics identification. +The experiment setup was constructed to emulate the insufflated state of the +abdomen with the magnetically anchored mechanism. The tissue responses during +unloading are captured and approximated with a general numerical model, which +is in turn used for the dynamic analysis of the tissue using Bode plot. The +results showed that in such stretched and compressed state, the steady state +displacement of the tissue is approximately zero. The maximum transient error +was found to be 1mm in displacement using a high magnetic anchoring force. +Significant attenuation of the disturbances due to the high stiffness and +damping of the abdominal wall, was observed from 100rad/s in the frequency +response. If a robotic manipulator was attached to the anchoring device, the +typical operating frequency of movements would still produce unattenuated +disturbances. It is expected that some error compensation through suitable +control strategies is required.

Nevertheless, we detect residual entropy in the +low-temperature specific heat, which is compatible with a model fit that +includes paramagnon excitations. The $\mu$SR and low-field static and dynamic +magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate the presence of short-range +magnetic correlations and glassy spin dynamics, which we attribute to local +oxygen non-stoichiometry in the average infinite-layer crystal structure.

Here we present an optical study of the +magnetic Fredericksz transition combined with a light scattering study of the +classical nematic liquid crystal, 5CB, doped with 6 nm diameter magnetic and +non-magnetic nanoparticles. Surprisingly, for both nanoparticles, we observe at +room temperature a net decrease of the threshold field of the Fredericksz +transition at low nanoparticle concentrations, which appears associated with a +coating of the nanoparticles by a brush of polydimethylsiloxane copolymer +chains inducing planar anchoring of the director on the nanoparticle surface. +Moreover the magnetic Fredericksz threshold exhibits non-monotonic behaviour as +a function of the nanoparticle concentration for both types of nanoparticles, +first decreasing down to a value from 23\% to 31\% below that of pure 5CB, then +increasing with a further increase of nanoparticle concentration. This is +interpreted as an aggregation starting at around 0.02 weight fraction that +consumes more isolated nanoparticles than those introduced when the +concentration is increased above $c = 0.05$ weight fraction (volume fraction +$3.5 \times 10^{-2}$). This shows the larger effect of isolated nanoparticles +on the threshold with respect to aggregates. From dynamic light scattering +measurements we deduced that, if the decrease of the magnetic threshold when +the nanoparticle concentration increases is similar for both kinds of +nanoparticles, the origin of this decrease is different for magnetic and +non-magnetic nanoparticles.

In the case of the +Gaussian AW pulse velocity perturbation energy growth is still transient in +time, attaining a peak within few resistive times, while magnetic perturbation +energy continues to grow. It is also shown that the total magnetic energy +decreases in time and this is governed by the resistive evolution of the +background ABC magnetic field rather than AW damping.

Part 1: Dynamics of magnetic islands near the heliospheric current sheet,"Increases of ion fluxes in the keV-MeV range are sometimes observed near the +heliospheric current sheet (HCS) during periods when other sources are absent. +These resemble solar energetic particle (SEP) events, but the events are weaker +and apparently local. Conventional explanations based on either shock +acceleration of charged particles or particle acceleration due to magnetic +reconnection at interplanetary current sheets are not persuasive. We suggest +instead that recurrent magnetic reconnection occurs at the HCS and smaller +current sheets in the solar wind (Zharkova & Khabarova 2012), of which a +consequence is particle energization by the dynamically evolving secondary +current sheets and magnetic islands (Zank et al. 2014; Drake et al. 2006a).

S1 inversions returned a +median magnetic field strength of 200 and 240 G for the two datasets, +respectively.

Period spacings as a probe of the internal magnetism of red giants,"Theoretical works have looked into the various topologies and amplitudes, as +well as the stability of the magnetic field that is expected to be present in +the radiative interior of stars evolving after the main sequence. Such internal +magnetic fields have never been observed in evolved stars. As a result, there +is a major piece missing from our global picture of stars as dynamical bodies. +Asteroseismology opened a window onto stellar internal dynamics, as oscillation +frequencies, amplitudes, and lifetimes are affected by processes that are +taking place inside the star. In this scope, magnetic signatures on mixed-mode +frequencies have recently been characterized, but the task of detection remains +challenging as the mixed-mode frequency pattern is highly complex and affected +by rotational effects, while modes of different radial orders are often +intertwined. In this work, we aim to build a bridge between theoretical +prescriptions and complex asteroseismic data analysis to facilitate a future +search and characterization of internal magnetism with asteroseismology.

We +considered two cases: a strong magnetic field (Alfven Mach number, M_a = 2.5) +and a weak field (M_a =5). Each flow rapidly evolves until it reaches a nearly +steady condition, which is fundamentally different from the analogous +gasdynamic state. Both MHD flows relax to a stable, laminar flow on timescales +less than or of the order of 15 linear growth times, measured from saturation +of the instability. That timescale is several orders of magnitude less than the +nominal dissipation time for these simulated flows, so this condition +represents an quasi-steady relaxed state. The strong magnetic field case +reaches saturation as magnetic tension in the displaced flow boundary becomes +sufficient to stabilize it. That flow then relaxes in a straightforward way to +the steady, laminar flow condition. The weak magnetic field case, on the other +hand, begins development of the vortex expected for gasdynamics, but that +vortex is destroyed by magnetic stresses that locally become strong. Magnetic +topologies lead to reconnection and dynamical alignment between magnetic and +velocity fields. Together these processes produce a sequence of intermittent +vortices and subsequent relaxation to a nearly laminar flow condition in which +the magnetic cross helicity is nearly maximized.

I. General formalism and the linear approximation,"In this paper we investigate the idea of Hanasz & Lesch 1993 that the +galactic dynamo effect is due to the Parker instability of magnetic flux tubes. +In addition to the former approach, we take into account more general physical +conditions in this paper, by incorporating cosmic rays and differential forces +due to the axisymmetric differential rotation and the density waves as well. We +present the theory of slender magnetic flux tube dynamics in the thin flux tube +approximation and the Lagrange description. This is the application of the +formalism obtained for solar magnetic flux tubes by Spruit (1981), to the +galactic conditions. We perform a linear stability analysis for the +Parker-shearing instability of magnetic flux tubes in galactic discs and then +calculate the dynamo coefficients. We present a number of new effects which are +very essential for cosmological and contemporary evolution of galactic magnetic +fields. First of all we demonstrate that a very strong dynamo $\alpha$-effect +is possible in the limit of weak magnetic fields in presence of cosmic rays. +Second, we show that the differential force resulting from axisymmetric +differential rotation and the linear density waves causes that the +$\alpha$-effect is essentially magnified in galactic arms and switched off in +the interarm regions. Moreover, we predict a non-uniform magnetic field in +spiral arms and well aligned one in interarm regions.

This process is essential for understanding a wide +variety of astrophysical processes, including stellar and galactic dynamos and +astrophysical turbulence. To account for solar flares, solar cycles and the +structure of the galactic magnetic field reconnection must be fast, propagating +with a speed close to the Alfven speed. We show that the presence of a random +magnetic field component substantially enhances the reconnection rate and +enables fast reconnection, i.e. reconnection that does not depend on fluid +resistivity. The enhancement of the reconnection rate is achieved via a +combination of two effects. First of all, only small segments of magnetic field +lines are subject to direct Ohmic annihilation. Thus the fraction of magnetic +energy that goes directly into fluid heating goes to zero as fluid resistivity +vanishes. However, the most important enhancement comes from the fact that +unlike the laminar fluid case where reconnection is constrained to proceed line +by line, the presence of turbulence enables many magnetic field lines to enter +the reconnection zone simultaneously. A significant fraction of magnetic energy +goes into MHD turbulence and this enhances reconnection rates through an +increase in the field stochasticity. In this way magnetic reconnection becomes +fast when field stochasticity is accounted for. As a consequence solar and +galactic dynamos are also fast, i.e. do not depend on fluid resistivity.",0002067v1 +2002-01-07,Magnetic fields and radio polarization of barred galaxies - 3D dynamo simulations,"A three-dimensional (3D) MHD model is applied to simulate the evolution of a +large-scale magnetic field in a barred galaxy possessing a gaseous halo +extending to about 2.8 kpc above the galactic plane. As the model input we use +a time-dependent velocity field of molecular gas resulting from self-consistent +3D N-body simulations of a galactic disk. We assume that the gaseous halo +rotates differentially co-rotating with the disk or decreasing its velocity in +the Z direction. The dynamo process included in the model yields the +amplification of the magnetic field as well as the formation of field +structures high above the galactic disk. The simulated magnetic fields are used +to construct the models of a high-frequency (Faraday rotation-free) polarized +radio emission that accounts for effects of projection and limited resolution, +and is thus suitable for direct comparison with observations. We found that the +resultant magnetic field correctly reproduces the observed structures of +polarization B-vectors, forming coherent patterns well aligned with spiral arms +and with the bar.

Unlike previous fixed-field analyses, the +MHD simulations here take full account of the dynamical competition between the +field and the flow. A key result is that the overall degree to which the wind +is influenced by the field depends largely on a single, dimensionless `wind +magnetic confinement parameter', $\eta_\ast (= B_{eq}^2 R_{\ast}^2/\dot{M} +v_\infty$), which characterizes the ratio between magnetic field energy density +and kinetic energy density of the wind. For weak confinement, $\eta_\ast \le +1$, the field is fully opened by wind outflow, but nonetheless, for confinement +as small as $\eta_\ast=1/10$ it can have significant back-influence in +enhancing the density and reducing the flow speed near the magnetic equator. +For stronger confinement, $\eta_\ast > 1$, the magnetic field remains closed +over limited range of latitude and height above the equatorial surface, but +eventually is opened into nearly radial configuration at large radii. Within +the closed loops, the flow is channeled toward loop tops into shock collisions +that are strong enough to produce hard X-rays.

A comparison is considered with the +behavior that was noticed in coronal X-ray jets observed by Hinode/XRT. A jet +like bundle observed at the limb in Ca II H line appears to show a magnetic +topology that is similar to X-ray jets (i.e., the Eiffel tower shape). The +appearance of such magnetic topology is usually assumed to be caused by +magnetic reconnection near a null point. Transverse motions of the jet axis are +recorded but no clear evidence of twist is appearing from the highly processed +movie. The aim is to investigate the dynamical behavior of an incompressible +magnetic X-point occurring during the magnetic reconnection in the jet +formation region. The viscous effect is specially considered in the closed +line-tied magnetic X-shape nulls. We perform the MHD numerical simulation in +2-D by solving the visco-resistive MHD equations with the tracing of velocity +and magnetic field. A qualitative agreement with Hinode observations is found +for the oscillatory and non-oscillatory behaviors of the observed solar jets in +both the chromosphere and the corona.

This also motivates our construction of a new ""2.5 scale"" minimalist +generalization of the helicity-evolving equations for the \alpha^2 dynamo that +separately allows for these three distinct length scales while keeping only two +dynamical equations. We solve these equations and, as in previous studies, find +that the large scale field first grows at a rate independent of the magnetic +Reynolds number R_M before quenching to an R_M dependent regime. But we also +show that the larger the ratio of the wavenumber where the small scale current +helicity resides to that of the forcing scale, the earlier the non-linear +dynamo quenching occurs, and the weaker the large scale field is at the turnoff +from linear growth.

Field +line helicity offers further advantages because it preserves all topological +information and can distinguish between different magnetic fields with the same +total helicity. Magnetic reconnection changes field connectivity and field line +helicity reflects these changes; the goal of this paper is to characterize that +evolution. We start by deriving the evolution equation for field line helicity +and examining its terms, also obtaining a simplified form for cases where +dynamics are localized within the domain.

For sufficiently flat profiles, +they scale with the magnetic Reynolds number and the Lundquist number, thereby +allowing instability also for the large magnetic Mach numbers of astrophysical +objects. We further compute fully nonlinear, three-dimensional equilibration of +these instabilities, and investigate how the energy is distributed among the +azimuthal (m) and axial (k) wavenumbers. In comparison spectra become steeper +for large m, reflecting the smoothing action of shear. On the other hand +kinetic and magnetic energy spectra exhibit similar behavior: if several +azimuthal modes are already linearly unstable they are relatively flat, but for +the rigidly rotating case where m=1 is the only unstable mode they are so steep +that neither Kolmogorov nor Iroshnikov-Kraichnan spectra fit the results.

The shocks are created +by time-dependent feedback and evolve in a diffuse turbulent environment that +is either unmagnetized or has different initial magnetic field configurations. +In the hydrodynamical situation, the expansion law of the superbubbles is +consistent with the radius-time relation that is theoretically predicted for +wind-blown bubbles. The supershells fragment over their entire surface into +small dense clumps that carry more than half of the total kinetic energy in the +volume. However, this is not the case when a magnetic field is introduced, +either in the direction of the collision or perpendicular to the collision. In +magnetized situations, the shell surfaces are more stable to dynamical +instabilities. When the magnetic field opposes the collision, the expansion law +of the supershells also becomes significantly flatter than in the +hydrodynamical case. Although a two-phase medium arises in all cases, in the +MHD simulations the cold phase is limited to lower densities.",1701.03696v1 +2017-01-29,Observational Evidence of Magnetic Reconnection for Brightenings and Transition Region Arcades in IRIS observations,"By using a new method of forced-field extrapolation, we study the emerging +flux region AR 11850 observed by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph +(IRIS) and Solar Dynamical Observatory (SDO). Our results suggest that the +bright points (BPs) in this emerging region have responses in lines formed from +the upper photosphere to the transition region, with a relatively similar +morphology. They have an oscillation of several minutes according to the +Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) data at 1600 and 1700 A . The ratio between +the BP intensities measured in 1600 A and 1700 A filtergrams reveals that these +BPs are heated differently. Our analysis of the Helioseismic and Magnetic +Imager (HMI) vector magnetic field and the corresponding topology in AR11850 +indicates that the BPs are located at the polarity inversion line (PIL) and +most of them related with magnetic reconnection or cancelation. The heating of +the BPs might be different due to different magnetic topology. We find that the +heating due to the magnetic cancelation would be stronger than the case of bald +patch reconnection. The plasma density rather than the magnetic field strength +could play a dominant role in this process. Based on physical conditions in the +lower atmosphere, our forced-field extrapolation shows consistent results +between the bright arcades visible in slit-jaw image (SJI) 1400 A and the +extrapolated field lines that pass through the bald patches. It provides a +reliable observational evidence for testing the mechanism of magnetic +reconnection for the BPs and arcades in emerging flux region, as proposed in +simulation works.",1701.08356v1 +2017-02-16,Plasma Brightenings in a Failed Solar Filament Eruption,"Failed filament eruptions are solar eruptions that are not associated with +coronal mass ejections. In a failed filament eruption, the filament materials +usually show some ascending and falling motions as well as generate bright EUV +emissions. Here we report a failed filament eruption that occurred in a +quiet-Sun region observed by the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly on board the +Solar Dynamics Observatory. In this event, the filament spreads out but gets +confined by the surrounding magnetic field. When interacting with the ambient +magnetic field, the filament material brightens up and flows along the magnetic +field lines through the corona to the chromosphere. We find that some materials +slide down along the lifting magnetic structure containing the filament and +impact the chromosphere to cause two ribbon-like brightenings in a wide +temperature range through kinetic energy dissipation. There is evidence +suggesting that magnetic reconnection occurs between the filament magnetic +structure and the surrounding magnetic fields where filament plasma is heated +to coronal temperatures. In addition, thread-like brightenings show up on top +of the erupting magnetic fields at low temperatures, which might be produced by +an energy imbalance from a fast drop of radiative cooling due to plasma +rarefaction. Thus, this single event of failed filament eruption shows +existence of a variety of plasma brightenings that may be caused by completely +different heating mechanisms.",1702.05136v1 +2017-04-27,Magnetorotational Dynamo Action in the Shearing Box,"Magnetic dynamo action caused by the magnetorotational instability is studied +in the shearing-box approximation with no imposed net magnetic flux. Consistent +with recent studies, the dynamo action is found to be sensitive to the aspect +ratio of the box: it is much easier to obtain in tall boxes (stretched in the +direction normal to the disk plane) than in long boxes (stretched in the radial +direction). Our direct numerical simulations indicate that the dynamo is +possible in both cases, given a large enough magnetic Reynolds number. To +explain the relatively larger effort required to obtain the dynamo action in a +long box, we propose that the turbulent eddies caused by the instability most +efficiently fold and mix the magnetic field lines in the radial direction. As a +result, in the long box the scale of the generated strong azimuthal +(stream-wise directed) magnetic field is always comparable to the scale of the +turbulent eddies. In contrast, in the tall box the azimuthal magnetic flux +spreads in the vertical direction over a distance exceeding the scale of the +turbulent eddies. As a result, different vertical sections of the tall box are +permeated by large-scale nonzero azimuthal magnetic fluxes, facilitating the +instability. In agreement with this picture, the cases when the dynamo is +efficient are characterized by a strong intermittency of the local azimuthal +magnetic fluxes.",1704.08636v1 +2017-07-26,Stabilizing isolated skyrmions at low magnetic fields exploiting vanishing magnetic anisotropy,"Skyrmions are topologically protected non-collinear magnetic structures. +Their stability and dynamics, arising from their topological character, have +made them ideal information carriers e.g. in racetrack memories. The success of +such a memory critically depends on the ability to stabilize and manipulate +skyrmions at low magnetic fields. The driving force for skyrmion formation is +the non-collinear Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya exchange interaction (DMI) originating +from spin-orbit coupling (SOC). It competes with both the nearest neighbour +Heisenberg exchange interaction and the magnetic anisotropy, which favour +collinear states. While skyrmion lattices might evolve at vanishing magnetic +fields, the formation of isolated skyrmions in ultra-thin films so far required +the application of an external field which can be as high as several T. Here, +we show that isolated skyrmions in a monolayer (ML) of Co epitaxially grown on +a Ru(0001) substrate can be stabilized at magnetic fields as low as 100 mT. +Even though SOC is weak in the 4d element Ru, a homochiral spin spiral ground +state and isolated skyrmions could be detected and laterally resolved using a +combination of tunneling and anisotropic tunneling magnetoresistance effect in +spin-sensitive scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). Density functional theory +(DFT) calculations confirm these chiral magnetic textures, even though the +stabilizing DMI interaction is weak.

Such interaction is depicted by combining a grid-based +magneto-hydrodynamics description of the thermal fluid with particle in cell +techniques devoted to the dynamics of supra-thermal particles. This approach, +which incorporates the use of adaptive mesh refinement features, is potentially +a key to simulate astrophysical systems on spatial scales that are beyond the +reach of pure particle-in-cell simulations. We consider in this study +non-relativistic shocks with various Alfvenic Mach numbers and magnetic field +obliquity. We recover all the features of both magnetic field amplification and +particle acceleration from previous studies when the magnetic field is parallel +to the normal to the shock. In contrast with previous particle-in-cell-hybrid +simulations, we find that particle acceleration and magnetic field +amplification also occur when the magnetic field is oblique to the normal to +the shock but on larger timescales than in the parallel case. We show that in +our simulations, the supra-thermal particles are experiencing acceleration +thanks to a pre-heating process of the particle similar to a shock drift +acceleration leading to the corrugation of the shock front. Such oscillations +of the shock front and the magnetic field locally help the particles to enter +the upstream region and to initiate a non-resonant streaming instability and +finally to induce diffuse particle acceleration.",1709.08482v2 +2017-11-22,Dynamical onset of superconductivity and retention of magnetic fields in cooling neutron stars,"A superconductor of paired protons is thought to form in the core of neutron +stars soon after their birth. Minimum energy conditions suggest magnetic flux +is expelled from the superconducting region due to the Meissner effect, such +that the neutron star core is largely devoid of magnetic fields for some +nuclear equation of state and proton pairing models. We show via neutron star +cooling simulations that the superconducting region expands faster than flux is +expected to be expelled because cooling timescales are much shorter than +timescales of magnetic field diffusion. Thus magnetic fields remain in the bulk +of the neutron star core for at least 10^6-10^7 yr. We estimate the size of +flux free regions at 10^7 yr to be <~ 100 m for a magnetic field of 10^11 G and +possibly smaller for stronger field strengths. For proton pairing models that +are narrow, magnetic flux may be completely expelled from a thin shell of +approximately the above size after 10^5 yr.

The changes seem to be linked to the +reconfiguration of magnetic fields, but their origin is still unclear. We +carried out a statistical analysis of permanent line-of-sight magnetic field +($B_{\rm LOS}$) changes during 18 X-, 37 M-, 19 C- and 1 B-class flares using +data from Solar Dynamics Observatory/Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager. We +investigated the properties of permanent changes, such as frequency, areas, and +locations. We detected changes of $B_{\rm LOS}$ in 59/75 flares. We find that +strong flares are more likely to show changes, with all flares $\ge$ M1.6 +exhibiting them. For weaker flares, permanent changes are observed in 6/17 +C-flares. 34.3\% of the permanent changes occurred in the penumbra and 18.9\% +in the umbra. Parts of the penumbra appeared or disappeared in 23/75 flares. +The area where permanent changes occur is larger for stronger flares. Strong +flares also show a larger change of flux, but there is no dependence of the +magnetic flux change on the heliocentric angle. The mean rate of change of +flare-related magnetic field changes is 20.7 Mx cm$^{-2}$ min$^{-1}$. The +number of permanent changes decays exponentially with distance from the +polarity inversion line. The frequency of the strength of permanent changes +decreases exponentially, and permanent changes up to 750 Mx cm$^{-2}$ were +observed. We conclude that permanent magnetic field changes are a common +phenomenon during flares, and future studies will clarify their relation to +accelerated electrons, white light emission, and sunquakes to further +investigate their origin.",1711.08631v2 +2017-12-17,"Low temperature ferromagnetic properties, magnetic field induced spin order and random spin freezing effect in Ni1.5Fe1.5O4 ferrite; prepared at different pH values and annealing temperatures","We present the low temperature magnetic properties in Ni1.5Fe1.5O4 ferrite as +the function of pH at which the material was prepared by chemical route and +post annealing temperature. The material is a ferri or ferromagnet, but showed +magnetic blocking and random spin freezing process on lowering the measurement +temperature down to 5 K. The sample prepared at pH =12 and annealed at 800 ^C +showed a sharp magnetization peak at 105 K, the superparamagnetic blocking +temperature of the particles. The magnetization peak remained incomplete within +measurement temperature up to 350 K for rest of the samples, although peak +temperature was brought down by increasing applied dc field. The fitting of +temperature dependence of coercivity data according to Kneller law suggested +random orientation of ferromagnetic particles. The fitting of saturation +magnetization according to Bloch law provided the exponent that largely +deviated from 1.5, a typical value for long ranged ferromagnet.

We +present polarimetric observations of the 233 GHz thermal dust continuum +emission obtained with ALMA in the B335 Class 0 protostar. Linearly polarized +dust emission arising from the circumstellar material in the envelope of B335 +is detected at all scales probed by our observations, from radii of 50 to 1000 +au. The magnetic field structure producing the dust polarization has a very +ordered topology in the inner envelope, with a transition from a large-scale +poloidal magnetic field, in the outflow direction, to strongly pinched in the +equatorial direction. This is probably due to magnetic field lines being +dragged along the dominating infall direction since B335 does not exhibit +prominent rotation. Our data and their qualitative comparison to a family of +magnetized protostellar collapse models show that, during the magnetized +collapse in B335, the magnetic field is maintaining a high level of +organization from scales 1000 au to 50 au: this suggests the field is +dynamically relevant and capable of influencing the typical outcome of +protostellar collapse, such as regulating the disk size in B335.",1803.00028v1 +2018-03-27,Generation and annihilation time of magnetic droplet solitons,"Magnetic droplet solitons were first predicted to occur in materials with +uniaxial magnetic anisotropy due to a long-range attractive interaction between +elementary magnetic excitations, magnons.

We first +discuss physical parameters of the Crab nebula and review the theory of pulsar +winds and termination shocks.

Here we combine these two +concepts to investigate Floquet states in the system of exchange-coupled spins +in a ferromagnet. We periodically perturb the magnetization of an iron-garnet +film by a train of circularly-polarized femtosecond laser pulses hitting the +sample at 1 GHz repetition rate and monitor the magnetization dynamics behaving +like a Floquet state. An external magnetic field allows tuning of the Floquet +states leading to a pronounced increase of the precession amplitude by one +order of magnitude at the center of the Brillouin zone, i.e. when the +precession frequency is a multiple of the laser pulse repetition rate.

Secondary, +shorter cycles located at the top of the convective envelope close to the +equator are also observed in our numerical experiments, when the local Rossby +number is lower than 1. The deep-seated dynamo sustained in these numerical +experiments is fundamentally non-linear, in that it is the feedback of the +large-scale magnetic field on the large-scale differential rotation that sets +the magnetic cycle period.

The resulting topological orbital moment underlies the relation of the +orbital dynamics with the topology of the spin structure. We demonstrate that +the interactions of the topological orbital moments with each other and with +the spins of the underlying lattice give rise to a new class of magnetic +interactions $-$ topological chiral interactions $-$ which can dominate over +the celebrated Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction, thus opening a path for the +realization of new classes of chiral magnetic materials with three-dimensional +magnetization textures such as magnetic hopfions.",1904.02369v3 +2019-04-12,Data-Optimized Coronal Field Model: I. Proof of Concept,"Deriving the strength and direction of the three-dimensional (3D) magnetic +field in the solar atmosphere is fundamental for understanding its dynamics. +Volume information on the magnetic field mostly relies on coupling 3D +reconstruction methods with photospheric and/or chromospheric surface vector +magnetic fields. Infrared coronal polarimetry could provide additional +information to better constrain magnetic field reconstructions. However, +combining such data with reconstruction methods is challenging, e.g., because +of the optical-thinness of the solar corona and the lack and limitations of +stereoscopic polarimetry. To address these issues, we introduce the +Data-Optimized Coronal Field Model (DOCFM) framework, a model-data fitting +approach that combines a parametrized 3D generative model, e.g., a magnetic +field extrapolation or a magnetohydrodynamic model, with forward modeling of +coronal data. We test it with a parametrized flux rope insertion method and +infrared coronal polarimetry where synthetic observations are created from a +known ""ground truth"" physical state. We show that this framework allows us to +accurately retrieve the ground truth 3D magnetic field of a set of force-free +field solutions from the flux rope insertion method. In observational studies, +the DOCFM will provide a means to force the solutions derived with different +reconstruction methods to satisfy additional, common, coronal constraints.

Interestingly, we show that +magnetic order persists to $x$ almost twice as large as the classical +percolation threshold for the lattice, thus emphasizing the central role of +electron itinerancy to the magnetic response. The analysis of the +orbital-resolved order parameters reveals that the contribution of the +four-fold coordinated `d' sites to magnetism is dramatically affected by +dilution, while the localized `p' states of the flat band provide the dominant +contribution to long-range correlations.

The +rates of skyrmion collapse and escape through the boundary of a track, as well +as the binding to and collapse at a non-magnetic impurity, are calculated as a +function of applied magnetic field. The activation energy for skyrmion +annihilation is the same in AFMs and corresponding FMs in the absence of an +applied magnetic field. The pre-exponential factor in the Arrhenius rate law +is, however, different because skyrmion dynamics is different in the two +systems. An applied magnetic field has opposite effects on skyrmions in the two +types of materials. In AFMs the rate of collapse of skyrmions as well as the +rate of escape through the edge of a magnetic strip decreases slightly with +increasing field, while these rates increase strongly for a skyrmion in the +corresponding FMs when the field is directed antiparallel to the magnetization +in the center of the skyrmion. A non-magnetic impurity is less likely to trap a +skyrmion in AFMs especially in the presence of a magnetic field. This, together +with the established fact that a spin polarized current moves skyrmions in AFMs +in the direction of the current, while in FMs skyrmions move at an angle to the +current, demonstrates that skyrmions in AFMs have several advantageous +properties over skyrmions in FMs for memory and spintronic devices.",2004.00095v2 +2020-04-07,Laser-induced magnetization precession in individual magnetoelastic domains of a multiferroic CoFeB/BaTiO$_3$ composite,"Using a magneto-optical pump-probe technique with micrometer spatial +resolution we show that magnetization precession can be launched in individual +magnetic domains imprinted in a Co$_{40}$Fe$_{40}$B$_{20}$ (CoFeB) layer by +elastic coupling to ferroelectric domains in a BaTiO$_{3}$ substrate.

We show that this model conserves total angular momentum, whereas spin +and lattice angular momentum are not conserved. We carry out simulations of the +the Einstein-de Haas effect for a Fe nanocluster with more than 500 atoms that +is free to rotate, using a modified version of the open-source spinlattice +dynamics code (SPILADY). We show that the rate of angular momentum transfer +between spin and lattice is proportional to the strength of the magnetic +anisotropy interaction. The addition of the anisotropy allows full spin-lattice +relaxation to be achieved on previously reported timescales of \sim 100 ps and +for tight-binding magnetic anisotropy energies comparable to those of small Fe +nanoclusters.",2211.03706v1 +2024-02-08,Absence of breakdown of ferrodark solitons exhibiting snake instability,"We investigate the dynamical stability and real time dynamics of the +two-types of ferrodark solitons (FDSs) which occur as topological magnetic +domain walls in the easy-plane phase of a quasi-two-dimensional (2D) +ferromagnetic spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate.

The positive +inertial mass leads to the elastic oscillations of the soliton under transverse +perturbations. The type-II FDS has negative inertial mass and exhibits a snake +instability and a spin-twist instability, with the latter involving the +generation of out of plane spin winding. Distinct from the normal dynamics of +negative mass solitons under long wave length transverse perturbations, the +snake instability does not lead to the type-II FDS breaking down. Instead, +segments of the type-II FDS convert to type-I and mass vortex dipoles are +produced.

The +polarization vector maps enable us to newly detect 24 small IR reflection +nebulae with YSOs. Polarization measurements of NIR point sources indicate an +hourglass-shaped magnetic field, of which symmetry axis is nearly perpendicular +to the elongation of the C18O (J=1-0) or submillimeter continuum emission. The +bright part of C18O (J=1-0), submillimeter continuum cores as well as many +class 0/I objects are located just toward the constriction region of the +hourglass-shaped magnetic field. Applying the CF method, the magnetic field +strength was estimated to be ~100 muG, suggesting that the ambient region of +the Serpens cloud core is moderately magnetically supercritical. These suggest +that the Serpens cloud core first contracted along the magnetic field to be an +elongated cloud, which is perpendicular to the magnetic field, and that then +the central part contracted cross the magnetic field due to the high density in +the central region of the cloud core, where star formation is actively +continuing. Comparison of this magnetic field with the previous observations of +molecular gas and large-scale outflows suggests a possibility that the cloud +dynamics is controlled by the magnetic field, protostellar outflows and +gravitational inflows.

Radio polarimetry gives the degree of order of magnetic +fields, and the orientation of the ordered component. Many young shell +supernova remnants show evidence for synchrotron X-ray emission. The spatial +analysis of this emission suggests that magnetic fields are amplified by one to +two orders of magnitude in strong shocks. Detection of several remnants in TeV +gamma rays implies a lower limit on the magnetic-field strength (or a +measurement, if the emission process is inverse-Compton upscattering of cosmic +microwave background photons). Upper limits to GeV emission similarly provide +lower limits on magnetic-field strengths. In the historical shell remnants, +lower limits on B range from 25 to 1000 microGauss. Two remnants show +variability of synchrotron X-ray emission with a timescale of years. If this +timescale is the electron-acceleration or radiative loss timescale, magnetic +fields of order 1 mG are also implied. In pulsar-wind nebulae, equipartition +arguments and dynamical modeling can be used to infer magnetic-field strengths +anywhere from about 5 microGauss to 1 mG. Polarized fractions are considerably +higher than in SNRs, ranging to 50 or 60% in some cases; magnetic-field +geometries often suggest a toroidal structure around the pulsar, but this is +not universal. Viewing-angle effects undoubtedly play a role. MHD models of +radio emission in shell SNRs show that different orientations of upstream +magnetic field, and different assumptions about electron acceleration, predict +different radio morphology.

Impact of magnetization and anisotropy of the pulsar wind,"In this paper, we present a numerical study of the properties of the flow +produced by the collision of a magnetized anisotropic pulsar wind with its +environment in binary system. We compare the impact of both the magnetic field +and the wind anisotropy to the benchmark case of a purely hydrodynamical (HD) +interaction of isotropic winds, which has been studied in detail by Bogovalov +et al. (2008). We consider the interaction in axisymmetric approximation, i.e. +the pulsar rotation axis is assumed to be oriented along the line between the +pulsar and the optical star and the effects related to the pulsar orbiting are +neglected. The impact of the magnetic field is studied for the case of weak +magnetization (with magnetization parameter $\sigma<0.1$), which is consistent +with conventional models of pulsar winds. The effects related to anisotropy in +pulsar winds are modeled assuming that the kinetic energy flux in a +non-magnetized pulsar wind is strongly anisotropic, with the minimum at the +pulsar rotation axis and the maximum in the perpendicular direction. We show +that, although both considered effects change the shape of the region occupied +by the terminated pulsar wind, their impact appears to be small. In particular, +for the magnetization of the pulsar wind below 0.1, the magnetic field pressure +remains well below the plasma pressure in the post-shock region. Thus, in the +case of interaction of a pulsar with the stellar wind environment (opposite to +the case of plerions, i.e. the pulsar interaction with the interstellar medium, +when the magnetic field becomes dynamically important independently on the wind +magnetization) the HD approach represents a feasible approximation for +numerical modelling.",1107.4831v1 +2011-10-31,Linear stability of magnetohydrodynamic flow in a perfectly conducting rectangular duct,"We analyse numerically the linear stability of a liquid metal flow in a +rectangular duct with perfectly electrically conducting walls subject to a +uniform transverse magnetic field. A non-standard three dimensional vector +stream function/vorticity formulation is used with Chebyshev collocation method +to solve the eigenvalue problem for small-amplitude perturbations. A relatively +weak magnetic field is found to render the flow linearly unstable as two weak +jets appear close to the centre of the duct at the Hartmann number Ha \approx +9.6. In a sufficiently strong magnetic field, the instability following the +jets becomes confined in the layers of characteristic thickness \delta \sim +Ha^{-1/2} located at the walls parallel to the magnetic field. In this case the +instability is determined by \delta, which results in both the critical +Reynolds and wavenumbers numbers scaling as \sim \delta^{-1}. Instability modes +can have one of the four different symmetry combinations along and across the +magnetic field. The most unstable is a pair of modes with an even distribution +of vorticity along the magnetic field. These two modes represent strongly +non-uniform vortices aligned with the magnetic field, which rotate either in +the same or opposite senses across the magnetic field. The former enhance while +the latter weaken one another provided that the magnetic field is not too +strong or the walls parallel to the field are not too far apart. In a strong +magnetic field, when the vortices at the opposite walls are well separated by +the core flow, the critical Reynolds and wavenumbers for both of these +instability modes are the same: Re_c \approx 642Ha^{1/2}+8.9x10^3Ha^{-1/2} and +k_c \approx 0.477Ha^{1/2}. The other pair of modes, which differs from the +previous one by an odd distribution of vorticity along the magnetic field, is +more stable with approximately four times higher critical Reynolds number.",1111.0036v2 +2011-11-29,Magnetic properties and spin dynamics of 3d-4f molecular complexes,"We present the magnetic properties of three recently synthesized binuclear +molecular complexes [NiNd], [NiGd] and [ZnGd] investigated by dc magnetization +and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements. The high-temperature +magnetic properties are related to the independent paramagnetic behavior of the +two magnetic metal ions within the binuclear entities both in [NiNd] and +[NiGd]. On lowering the temperature, the formation of a magnetic dimer, with a +low-spin ground state due to antiferromagnetic interaction (J/kB = -25 K) +between Ni2+ and Nd3+, is found in the case of [NiNd], while in [NiGd] a +ferromagnetic interaction (J/kB = 3.31 K) between the magnetic ions leads to a +high-spin (S = 9/2) ground state. The temperature dependence of the proton +nuclear spin lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 in [NiNd] is driven by the +fluctuation of the hyperfine field at the nuclear site due to relaxation of the +magnetization. At high temperature the independent Ni2+ and Nd3+ spins +fluctuate fast while at low temperature we observe a slowing down of the +fluctuation of the total magnetization of the dimer because of the insurgence +of antiferromagnetic spin correlations. The relaxation mechanism in [NiNd] at +low temperature is interpreted by a single, temperature dependent, correlation +frequency wc\simT^3.5, which reflects the life time broadening of the exchange +coupled spins via spin-phonon interaction. The proton NMR signal in [NiGd] +could be detected just at room temperature, due to the shortening of relaxation +times when T is decreased. The magnetic properties of [ZnGd] are the ones +expected from a weakly interacting assembly of isolated moments except for +anomalies in the susceptibility and NMR results below 15 K which currently +cannot be explained.",1111.7008v1 +2012-08-03,"Spin dynamics, short-range order and superparamagnetism in superconducting ferromagnet RuSr2Gd1.4Ce0.6Cu2O10-δ","We report structural, detailed DC and linear/non-linear AC, isothermal and +thermoremanent magnetization study of the rutheno-cuprate superconducting +ferromagnet RuSr2Gd1.4Ce0.6Cu2O10-{\delta} (GdRu-1222). Structural analysis, by +employing Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction pattern, reveals that +GdRu-1222 crystallizes in tetragonal phase with I4/mmm space group. GdRu-1222 +is a reported superconducting ferromagnet with Ru spins magnetic ordering at +around 110 K and superconductivity below 40 K in Cu-O2 planes. Detailed +linear/non-linear first and higher order harmonic of AC susceptibility studies +unveiled the complex magnetism of GdRu-1222. A frequency dependent cusp is +observed in AC susceptibility ({\chi}ac) vs. T measurements. The change in cusp +position with applied frequency followed the well known Vogel-Fulcher law, +which is a feature to describe a spin-glass (SG) system with possibility of +embedded homogeneous/non-homogeneous magnetically interacting/non-interacting +ferromagnetic clusters.

We relax this assumption by +performing two-dimensional resistive magnetohydrodynamic simulations of the +plasmoid instability during asymmetric inflow magnetic reconnection. Magnetic +asymmetry modifies the onset, scaling, and dynamics of this instability. +Magnetic islands develop preferentially into the weak magnetic field upstream +region. Outflow jets from individual X-points impact plasmoids obliquely rather +than directly as in the symmetric case. Consequently, deposition of momentum by +the outflow jets into the plasmoids is less efficient, the plasmoids develop +net vorticity, and shear flow slows down secondary merging between islands. +Secondary merging events have asymmetry along both the inflow and outflow +directions. Downstream plasma is more turbulent in cases with magnetic +asymmetry because islands are able to roll around each other after exiting the +current sheet. As in the symmetric case, plasmoid formation facilitates faster +reconnection for at least small and moderate magnetic asymmetries. However, +when the upstream magnetic field strengths differ by a factor of four, the +reconnection rate plateaus at a lower value than expected from scaling the +symmetric results. We perform a parameter study to investigate the onset of the +plasmoid instability as a function of magnetic asymmetry and domain size. There +exist domain sizes for which symmetric simulations are stable but asymmetric +simulations are unstable, suggesting that moderate magnetic asymmetry is +somewhat destabilizing. We discuss the implications for plasmoid and flux rope +formation in solar eruptions, laboratory reconnection experiments, and space +plasmas.

This coupling adds to the coupling due to strain +and electric fields, with a phase that depends on the direction of the +transverse field in the plane perpendicular to the NV axis. Hence, the {\em +total coupling} of the Zeeman levels can be tuned to control the adiabaticity +of spin dynamics by fully or partially compensating the effect of the strain +and electric fields, or by enhancing it. Moreover, by varying the strength and +direction of the transverse magnetic fields, one can determine the strength and +direction of the local strain and electric fields at the position of the NV +center, and even the {\em external} stress and electric field.

This theory also +predicts a characteristic frequency dependence of the dissipative loss-angle +for AC-field-driven currents. To explore these novel perspectives on monopole +transport, we introduce simultaneous monopole current control and measurement +techniques using SQUID-based monopole current sensors.

The real accretion flow was found to be +time-dependent and turbulent. This paper presents the minimal MHD spherical +accretion model that separately deals with turbulence. Treatment of turbulence +is based on simulations of several regimes of collisional MHD. The effects of +freezing-in amplification, dissipation, dynamo action, isotropization, and +constant magnetic helicity are self-consistently included. The assumptions of +equipartition and magnetic field isotropy are released. Correct dynamics of +magnetized flow is calculated. Diffusion, convection, and radiation are not +accounted for. Two different types of Radiatively Inefficient accretion flows +are found: a transonic non-rotating flow (I), a flow with effective transport +of angular momentum outward (II). Non-rotating flow has an accretion rate +several times smaller than Bondi rate, because turbulence inhibits accretion. +Flow with angular momentum transport has accretion rate about 10-100 times +smaller than Bondi rate. The effects of highly helical turbulence, states of +outer magnetization, and different equations of state are discussed. The flows +were found to be convectively stable on average, despite gas entropy increases +inward. The proposed model has a small number of free parameters and the +following attractive property.

The equations of accretion flow are solved +in a simplified one-dimensional model that neglects the latitudinal dependence +of the flow. In order to solve the integrated equations which govern the +dynamical behavior of the accretion flow, self-similar solution was used. The +solution provides some insight into the dynamics of quasi-spherical accretion +flow and avoids many of the strictures of the steady self-similar solution. The +effect of the toroidal magnetic field is considered with additional variable +$\beta[=p_{mag}/p_{gas}]$, where $p_{mag}$ and $p_{gas}$ are the magnetic and +gas pressure, respectively. The solution indicates a transonic point in the +accretion flow, that this point approaches to central object by adding strength +of the magnetic field. Also, by adding strength of the magnetic field, the +radial-thickness of the disk decreases and the disk compresses.

The outward field diffusion is then reversed, +magnetic flux reconnects with the flux accumulated around the central black +hole and disappears. The magnetic field and the associated accretion rate +slowly decrease, and the system is gradualy driven back to quiescence.

An effective +damping constant {\alpha}eff is often determined experimentally from the +spectral linewidth of the free induction decay of the magnetization after the +system is excited to its non-equilibrium state. Such an {\alpha}eff, however, +reflects both intrinsic damping as well as inhomogeneous broadening. In this +paper we compare measurements of the magnetization dynamics in ultrathin +non-epitaxial films having perpendicular magnetic anisotropy using two +different techniques, time-resolved magneto optical Kerr effect (TRMOKE) and +hybrid optical-electrical ferromagnetic resonance (OFMR). By using an external +magnetic field that is applied at very small angles to the film plane in the +TRMOKE studies, we develop an explicit closed-form analytical expression for +the TRMOKE spectral linewidth and show how this can be used to reliably extract +the intrinsic Gilbert damping constant. The damping constant determined in this +way is in excellent agreement with that determined from the OFMR method on the +same samples. Our studies indicate that the asymptotic high-field approach that +is often used in the TRMOKE method to distinguish the intrinsic damping from +the effective damping may result in significant error, because such high +external magnetic fields are required to make this approach valid that they are +out of reach. The error becomes larger the lower is the intrinsic damping +constant, and thus may account for the anomalously high damping constants that +are often reported in TRMOKE studies.

Objects located at high galactic +latitudes, or at large radii, should present no preferential alignment with +respect to the galactic plane. PNe located at the galactic centre and low +latitudes would, on the other hand, be preferentiably aligned to the disk. +Finally, we present synthetic polarization maps of the nebulae to show that the +polarization vectors, as well as the field lines at the expanding shell, are +not uniform even in the strongly magnetized case, indicating that polarization +maps of nebulae are not adequate in probing the orientation, or intensity, of +the dominant external field.",1312.2910v1 +2014-01-23,Electron-spin dynamics induced by photon spins,"Strong rotating magnetic fields may cause a precession of the electron's spin +around the rotation axis of the magnetic field.

We examine how nulls are created and annihilated during +bifurcation processes, and describe how they evolve within the current layer. +The type of null bifurcation first observed is associated with the formation of +pairs of flux ropes within the current layer. We also find that new nulls form +within these flux ropes, both following internal reconnection and as adjacent +flux ropes interact. The flux ropes exhibit a complex evolution, driven by a +combination of ideal kinking and their interaction with the outflow jets from +the main layer. The finite size of the unstable layer also allows us to +consider the wider effects of flux rope generation. We find that the unstable +current layer acts as a source of torsional MHD waves and dynamic braiding of +magnetic fields.

This theoretical approach is +used to model the experimental results and allows us to explain most of the +measured features. The spin dynamics of the dark excitons is investigated in +magnetic fields by time-resolved photoluminescence.

In the MHD flow, the +imposed field also causes the large-scale structure but facilitates the flow +decay in the first stage because of the energy conversion from flow to magnetic +field. Magnetic Reynolds number $Rm$ is important for the dynamics of the MHD +flow, namely a high $Rm$ induces the Alfv\'en wave but a low $Rm$ cannot.

Paired upward and +downward motions implies that the light bridge could have a two-legged or +undulate magnetic field. Significant four minute oscillations in the emission +intensity of the $1700\unit{\AA}$ bandpass were detected at two ends, which had +overlap with the paired blue and red shift patches. The oscillatory signals at +the light bridge and the penumbra were highly correlated with each other. +Although they are separated in space at the photosphere, the periodicity seems +to have a common origin from the underneath.

However, the +most recent models of spherical neutrino-driven protoneutron star winds do not +produce robust r-process nucleosynthesis for `canonical' neutron stars with a +gravitational mass of 1.4M_sun and coordinate radius of 10km. These models fail +variously; either the flow entropy is too low, the electron fraction is too +high, or the dynamical expansion timescale is too long. To date, no models have +included the effects of an ordered dipole magnetic field. We show that a strong +magnetic field can trap the outflow in the neutrino heating region, thus +leading to much higher matter entropy.

As strictly derived from the shock jump conditions +in Zhang & Kobayashi (2005), during the reverse shock crossing process the +magnetic energy is not tapped. As a result, the fireball deceleration radius is +defined by the baryonic energy only. The magnetic energy is expected to be +transferred to the circumburst medium after the reverse shock disappears. The +evolution of the system then mimicks a continuously-fed fireball.

The interaction between the wind plasma and magnetic field +near the star produces a steady outflow in which magnetic forces direct plasma +toward the equator, constructing a disk. In the context of a slow (10 km/s) +outflow (10^{-5} M_sun/yr) from an AGB star, MHD simulations demonstrate that a +dense equatorial disk will be produced for dipole field strengths of only a few +Gauss on the surface of the star.

After developing a canonical formalism for the standard guiding +center dynamics in a dipole magnetic field, we complete our attempt to build a +statistical mechanics on a constrained phase space by discussing the +construction principles of the associated diffusion operator. We then +investigate the heating mechanism associated with inward diffusion: as +particles move toward regions of higher magnetic field, they experience +preferential heating of the perpendicular (with respect to the magnetic field) +temperature in order to preserve the magnetic moment. A relationship between +conservation of bounce action and temperature isotropy emerged. We further show +that this behavior is scaled by the diffusion parameter of the Fokker-Planck +equation.

A dynamical balance between turbulent and magnetic +stresses within this convective layer corresponds to flux densities in excess +of $10^{15}$G.

Some of +the cores collapse to form stars, while others disperse away without star +formation. In turbulent clouds that are marginally magnetically supercritical, +the star formation efficiency is higher, but can still be consistent with the +values inferred for nearby embedded clusters. If not regulated by magnetic +fields at all, star formation in a multi-Jeans mass cloud endowed with a strong +initial turbulence proceeds rapidly, with the majority of cloud mass converted +into stars in a gravitational collapse time.

The +experimental results show that magnetization relaxation is faster than 20 ns in +the paramagnetic state. Decreasing temperature below the Curie temperature Tc +results in an increase of the relaxation time but to less than 10 micro +seconds. This fast relaxation may explain why the spontaneous spin splitting of +electronic states is not accompanied by the presence of non-zero macroscopic +magnetization below Tc. Our Monte Carlo results reproduce the relative change +of the relaxation time on decreasing temperature. At the same time, the +numerical calculations demonstrate that antiferromagnetic spin-spin +interactions, which compete with the hole-mediated long-range ferromagnetic +coupling, play an important role in magnetization relaxation of the system. We +find, in particular, that magnetization dynamics is largely accelerated by the +presence of antiferromagnetic couplings to the Mn spins located outside the +region, where the holes reside. This suggests that macroscopic spontaneous +magnetization should be observable if the thickness of the layer containing +localized spins will be smaller than the extension of the hole wave function. +Furthermore, we study how a spin-independent part of the Mn potential affects +Tc.

In the nonlinear regime the ratio of the +energy of the magnetic m=1 modes and the toroidal background field is very low +for the non-rotating Tayler instability but it strongly grows if differential +rotation is present. For super-Alfv\'enic rotation the energies in the m=1 +modes of flow and field do not depend on the molecular viscosity, they are +almost in equipartition and contain only 1.5% of the centrifugal energy of the +inner cylinder. The geometry of the excited magnetic field pattern is strictly +nonaxisymmetric for slow rotation but it is of the mixed-mode type for fast +rotation -- contrary to the situation which has been observed at the surface of +Ap stars.",1308.1026v2 +2014-02-11,Chaotic motion of charged particles in toroidal magnetic configurations,"We study the motion of a charged particle in a tokamak magnetic field and +discuss its chaotic nature.

We show that for finite temperature or +chemical potential, $\chi$ is not divergent although the diamagnetic +contribution $\chi_{0}$ from the filled valance band exhibits the well-known +$-B^{-1/2}$ dependence. We further derive oscillatory modulations of $\chi$, +corresponding to de Haas-van Alphen oscillations of conventional +two-dimensional electron gases. These oscillations can be large in graphene, +thereby compensating the diamagnetic contribution $\chi_{0}$ and yielding a net +paramagnetic susceptibility for certain energy and magnetic field regimes. +Second, we predict and analyze corresponding strong, confinement-induced +susceptibility oscillations in graphene-based quantum dots with amplitudes +distincly exceeding the corresponding bulk susceptibility. Within a +semiclassical approach we derive generic expressions for orbital magnetism of +graphene quantum dots with regular classical dynamics.

The root of the +controversy is that magnetic fields promote sufficient scale-dependent +anisotropy to profoundly reorganise the structure of turbulence, so their net +effect cannot be understood in terms of the additional dissipation only. Here +we show that when turbulence is forced in a magnetic field that acts on +turbulence itself rather than on the mechanisms that generate it, the field +promotes large, nearly 2D structures capturing sufficient energy to offset the +loss due to Joule dissipation, with the net effect of increasing the intensity +of turbulent fluctuations.

The MF +Hamiltonian of the system has the Bogoliubov de-Gennes (BdG) form of a 2D Weyl +superconductor. We discover a robust gapless regime in intermediate magnetic +field for both gapless and gapped AFM KSL with Jx = Jy before the system is +polarized in high magnetic field. A topological phase transition (PT) +connecting two gapless phases with nodal lines takes place at a critical +magnetic field hc1 in this regime. While the nodal lines at hc1 is protected by +the mirror symmetry with Jx = Jy and disappear at Jx 6= Jy with a gap opening +near the critical field, the nodal points at E = 0 can exist at intermediate +fields even without mirror symmetry. We reveal that the phase evolution of the +KSL in the magnetic field is driven by the competition between the magnetic +field and the particle-hole (p-h) asymmetry of the normal state of the BdG +Hamiltonian, which results in the robust intermediate gapless phase for AFM +KSL.

During +the flare in 4 out of 16 events, we found impulsive changes in the helicity +fluxes. This indicates that even the flare with less energy could be associated +with anomalistic transportation of the magnetic helicity across the +photosphere. Accompanying the impulsive helicity fluxes, the poynting fluxes +across the photosphere evolved from positive to negative. As such, the +transportations of magnetic energy across the photosphere were toward solar +interior during these flares. In each of the 4 events, the impulsive change in +the helicity flux was always mainly contributed by abrupt change in horizontal +velocity field on a sunspot located near the flaring polarity inversion line. +The velocity field on each sunspot shows either an obvious vortex patten or an +shearing patten relative to the another magnetic polarity, which tended to +relax the magnetic twist or shear in the corona. During these flares, abrupt +change in the Lorentz force acting on these sunspots were found. The rotational +motions and shearing motions of these sunspots always had the same directions +with the resultant Lorentz forces. These results support the view that the +impulsive helicity transportation during the flare could be driven by the +change in the Lorentz force applied on the photosphere.",1808.04591v1 +2018-08-30,Accelerating the calculation of dipolar interactions in particle based simulations with open boundary conditions by means of the P2NFFT method,"Magnetic gels are soft elastic materials consisting of magnetic particles +embedded in a polymer network.

Asymptotic analysis,"Rational large Reynolds number matched asymptotic expansions of +three-dimensional nonlinear magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) states are concerned. +The nonlinear MHD states, assumed to be predominantly driven by a +unidirectional shear, can be sustained without any linear instability of the +base flow and hence are responsible for subcritical transition to turbulence. +Two classes of nonlinear MHD states are found. The first class of nonlinear +states emerged out of a nice combination of the purely hydrodynamic vortex/wave +interaction theory by Hall \& Smith (1991) and the resonant absorption theories +on Alfv\'en waves, developed in the solar physics community (e.g. Sakurai et +al. 1991; Goossens et al. 1995). Similar to the hydrodynamic theory, the +mechanism of the MHD states can be explained by the successive interaction of +the roll, streak, and wave fields, which are now defined both for the +hydrodynamic and magnetic fields. The derivation of this `vortex/Alfv\'en wave +interaction' state is rather straightforward as the scalings for both of the +hydrodynamic and magnetic fields are identical. It turns out that the leading +order magnetic field of the asymptotic states appears only when a small +external magnetic field is present. However, it does not mean that purely +shear-driven dynamos are not possible. In fact, the second class of +`self-sustained shear driven dynamo theory' shows the magnetic generation that +is slightly smaller size in the absence of any external field.

Using, for the first time, time-dependent +high-frequency hysteresis loop measurements, it is shown that in the samples +displaying the larger heating powers, the hysteresis is strongly time +dependent. More precisely, the hysteresis area increases by a factor 10 on a +timescale of a few tens of seconds. This effect is directly related to the +ability of the nanoparticles to form chains under magnetic excitation, which +depends on the presence or not of strong dipolar couplings.

Our studies support the idea +that although the vacancies in a graphene create a magnetic moment, they do not +produce a magnetic ordering. It is shown that although the Lieb's rule for the +magnetization in a hexagonal structure violates, two-vacancies, including a +di-vacancy, in the supercell generate quasi-localized state when they belong to +the different sublattices, and instead two-vacancies generate an extended state +when they belong to the same sublattices. Analytical investigation of the +dynamics of carbon atom- and vacancy-concentrations according to the non-linear +continuity equations shows that the vacancies, produced by irradiation at the +middle of a graphene layer, migrate to the edge of the sample resulting in a +specific {\it 'segregation'} of the vacancy concentration and self-healing of +the graphene.",1903.04180v1 +2019-03-13,Wide-field Magnetic Field and Temperature Imaging using Nanoscale Quantum Sensors,"The simultaneous imaging of magnetic fields and temperature (MT) is important +in a range of applications, including studies of carrier transport, solid-state +material dynamics, and semiconductor device characterization.

Moreover, the +skyrmion ratchet motion along the defect track/edge can be facilely controlled +by the field and defect parameters. Analysis based on time-averaged Thiele +equation of skyrmion verifies that such a speed-up effect is due to the +increased time-averaged driving force perpendicular to the skyrmion motion when +it approaches the defect track or edge, analogous to that discovered in direct +motions driven by currents.",2002.08865v2 +2020-03-02,Spin-caloritronic transport in hexagonal graphene nanoflakes,"We investigate the spin-dependent thermoelectric effect of graphene flakes +with magnetic edges in the ballistic regime.

A +prominent QCD property impacted by a strong magnetic field is the quark +condensate, an approximate order parameter of the QCD transition between a +high-temperature quark-gluon phase and a low-temperature hadronic phase. We use +the linear sigma model with quarks to address the quark condensate time +evolution under a strong magnetic field. We use the closed time path formalism +of nonequilibrium quantum field theory to integrate out the quarks and obtain a +mean-field Langevin equation for the condensate. The Langevin equation features +dissipation and noise kernels controlled by a damping coefficient. We compute +the damping coefficient for magnetic field and temperature values achieved in +peripheral relativistic heavy-ion collisions and solve the Langevin equation +for a temperature quench scenario. The magnetic field changes the dissipation +and noise pattern by increasing the damping coefficient compared to the +zero-field case. An increased damping coefficient increases fluctuations and +time scales controlling condensate's short-time evolution, a feature that can +impact hadron formation at the QCD transition.

The +strong spin relaxation is observed when the vortex core is within approximately +250 nm of the NV center defect.

In this case, instability is attributed to the azimuthal +drift between dust and gas, unlike the classical streaming instability, which +is driven by radial drift. This suggests that the streaming instability can +remain effective inside dust-trapping pressure bumps in accreting disks. When a +live vertical field is considered, we find the magneto-rotational instability +can be damped by dust feedback, while the classic streaming instability can be +stabilized by magnetic perturbations.

We investigate the dynamics and stability of post-shock +plasma streaming along nonuniform stellar magnetic fields at the impact region +of accretion columns. We study how the magnetic field configuration and +strength determine the structure, geometry, and location of the shock-heated +plasma. METHODS. We model the impact of an accretion stream onto the +chromosphere of a CTTS by 2D axisymmetric magnetohydrodynamic simulations. Our +model takes into account the gravity, the radiative cooling, and the +magnetic-field-oriented thermal conduction. RESULTS. The structure, stability, +and location of the shocked plasma strongly depend on the configuration and +strength of the magnetic field. For weak magnetic fields, a large component of +B may develop perpendicular to the stream at the base of the accretion column, +limiting the sinking of the shocked plasma into the chromosphere. An envelope +of dense and cold chromospheric material may also develop around the shocked +column. For strong magnetic fields, the field configuration determines the +position of the shock and its stand-off height. If the field is strongly +tapered close to the chromosphere, an oblique shock may form well above the +stellar surface. In general, a nonuniform magnetic field makes the distribution +of emission measure vs. temperature of the shocked plasma lower than in the +case of uniform magnetic field. CONCLUSIONS. The initial strength and +configuration of the magnetic field in the impact region of the stream are +expected to influence the chromospheric absorption and, therefore, the +observability of the shock-heated plasma in the X-ray band. The field strength +and configuration influence also the energy balance of the shocked plasma, its +emission measure at T > 1 MK being lower than expected for a uniform field. The +above effects contribute in underestimating the mass accretion rates derived in +the X-ray band.",1309.5038v1 +2014-06-12,Coronal magnetic reconnection driven by CME expansion -- the 2011 June 7 event,"Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) erupt and expand in a magnetically structured +solar corona.

Analyzing +Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) observations of the eruption from AR 11226 on +2011 June 7, we present the first direct evidence of coronal magnetic +reconnection between the fields of two adjacent ARs during a CME. The +observations are presented jointly with a data-constrained numerical +simulation, demonstrating the formation/intensification of current sheets along +a hyperbolic flux tube (HFT) at the interface between the CME and the +neighbouring AR 11227. Reconnection resulted in the formation of new magnetic +connections between the erupting magnetic structure from AR 11226 and the +neighboring active region AR 11227 about 200 Mm from the eruption site. The +onset of reconnection first becomes apparent in the SDO/AIA images when +filament plasma, originally contained within the erupting flux rope, is +re-directed towards remote areas in AR 11227, tracing the change of large-scale +magnetic connectivity. The location of the coronal reconnection region becomes +bright and directly observable at SDO/AIA wavelengths, owing to the presence of +down-flowing cool, dense (10^{10} cm^{-3}) filament plasma in its vicinity. The +high-density plasma around the reconnection region is heated to coronal +temperatures, presumably by slow-mode shocks and Coulomb collisions.

Observations at high temporal, spatial, and spectral resolution +from Solar Dynamics Observatory, Reuven Ramaty High Energy Solar Spectroscopic +Imager, and Nobeyama Radioheliograph enabled us to explore the possible +triggering and energy release processes of this flare despite its very +impulsive behavior and compact morphology. The flare light curves exhibit an +abrupt rise of non-thermal emission with co-temporal hard X-ray (HXR) and +microwave (MW) bursts that peaked instantly without any precursor emission. +This stage was associated with HXR emission up to 200 keV that followed a power +law with photon spectral index ($\delta$) $\sim$3. Another non-thermal peak, +observed 32 s later, was more pronounced in the MW flux than the HXR profiles. +Dual peaked structure in the MW and HXR light curves suggest a two-step +magnetic reconnection process.

Combined +observations in HXR, (E)UV, and H$\alpha$ provide support for flare models +involving interaction of coronal loops. The magnetograms obtained from +Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) reveal the emergence of magnetic flux +which started $\sim$5 hr before the flare. However, the more crucial changes in +the photospheric magnetic flux occurred about 1 minute prior to the flare onset +with opposite polarity magnetic transients appearing at the early flare +location within the inner core region.

By using a broadband +coaxial-line method, we extract the magnetic permeability in the frequency +range from 1 to 12 GHz, and we study the shift of the ferromagnetic resonance +with respect to an externally applied magnetic field. We find that the +zero-magnetic field ferromagnetic resonant peak shifts towards higher +frequencies at finite magnetic fields, and the magnitude of complex +permeability is reduced. At fields larger than 2.5 kOe the resonant frequency +changes linearly with the applied magnetic field, demonstrating the transition +to a state in which the nanoparticles become dynamically decoupled. In this +regime, the particles inside clusters can be treated as non-interacting, and +the peak position can be predicted from Kittel's ferromagnetic resonance theory +for non-interacting uniaxial spherical particles combined with the +Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (LLG) equation.

Here we examine the dynamo +properties of such flows in rotating Boussinesq convection. For moderate values +of the magnetic Reynolds number ($100 \lesssim Rm \lesssim 550$, with $Rm$ +based on the box depth and the convective velocity), a large-scale (i.e. +system-size) magnetic field is generated. The amplitude of the magnetic energy +oscillates in time, nearly out of phase with the oscillating amplitude of the +large-scale vortex. The large-scale vortex is disrupted once the magnetic field +reaches a critical strength, showing that these oscillations are of magnetic +origin. The dynamo mechanism relies on those components of the flow that have +length scales lying between that of the large-scale vortex and the typical +convective cell size; smaller-scale flows are not required. The large-scale +vortex plays a crucial role in the magnetic induction despite being essentially +two-dimensional; we thus refer to this dynamo as a large-scale-vortex dynamo. +For larger magnetic Reynolds numbers, the dynamo is small scale, with a +magnetic energy spectrum that peaks at the scale of the convective cells. In +this case, the small-scale magnetic field continuously suppresses the +large-scale vortex by disrupting the correlations between the convective +velocities that allow it to form. The suppression of the large-scale vortex at +high $Rm$ therefore probably limits the relevance of the large-scale-vortex +dynamo to astrophysical objects with moderate values of $Rm$, such as planets. +In this context, the ability of the large-scale-vortex dynamo to operate at low +magnetic Prandtl numbers is of great interest.",1607.00824v2 +2017-01-24,Magnetic field formation in the Milky Way-like disk galaxies of the Auriga project,"The magnetic fields observed in the Milky~Way and nearby galaxies appear to +be in equipartition with the turbulent, thermal, and cosmic ray energy +densities, and hence are expected to be dynamically important.

The magnetized gas in +the equatorial plane acquires higher angular momentum, and settles in a thin +circular structure around the black hole. We find that mass accretion rates of +magnetized configurations are generally smaller than in the unmagnetized cases +by up to a factor $\sim$3. Black hole spins have also a suppressing effect on +the accretion rate, as large as $\sim$48\%. As a potential driver for +electromagnetic emission we follow the evolution of the Poynting luminosity, +which increases after merger up to a factor $\sim2$ with increasing spin, +regardless of the initial level of magnetization of the fluid.

The traditional approximation of rotation for differentially rotating deep spherical shells with a general azimuthal magnetic field,"Asteroseismology has revealed small core-to-surface rotation contrasts in +stars in the whole HR diagram. This is the signature of strong transport of +angular momentum (AM) in stellar interiors. One of the plausible candidates to +efficiently carry AM is magnetic fields with various topologies that could be +present in stellar radiative zones. Among them, strong axisymmetric azimuthal +magnetic fields have received a lot of interest. Indeed, if they are subject to +the so-called Tayler instability, the accompanying triggered Maxwell stresses +can transport AM efficiently. In addition, the electromotive force induced by +the fluctuations of magnetic and velocity fields could potentially sustain a +dynamo action that leads to the regeneration of the initial strong axisymmetric +azimuthal magnetic field. The key question we aim to answer is: can we detect +signatures of these deep strong azimuthal magnetic fields? The only way to +answer this question is asteroseismology and the best laboratories of study are +intermediate-mass and massive stars. Most of these are rapid rotators during +their main-sequence. Therefore, we have to study stellar pulsations propagating +in stably stratified, rotating, and potentially strongly magnetised radiative +zones. We generalise the traditional approximation of rotation by +simultaneously taking general axisymmetric differential rotation and azimuthal +magnetic fields into account in a non-perturbative way. Using this new +formalism, we derive the asymptotic properties of magneto-gravito-inertial +(MGI) waves and their period spacings. We find that toroidal magnetic fields +induce a shift in the period spacings of MGI modes. An equatorial azimuthal +magnetic field with an amplitude of the order of $10^5\,\rm G$ leads to +signatures that can be detectable thanks to modern space photometry.

Experimental realizations of the Fermi Hubbard model revealed striking +contrast between magnetism in bipartite and triangular lattices. In bipartite +lattices magnetism peaks at half filling, and doped charge carriers tend to +suppress magnetic correlations. In triangular lattices for large $U/t$, +magnetism is enhanced by doping away from $n=1$ because kinetic energy of +dopants can be lowered through developing magnetic correlations. This +corresponds to formation of magnetic polarons, with hole and doublon doping +resulting in antiferro- and ferromagnetic polarons respectively. Snapshots +obtained with quantum gas microscopes revealed formation of magnetic polarons +around dopants at temperatures exceeding the superexchange energy scale. In +this work we discuss theoretically that additional insight into properties of +magnetic polarons can be achieved using spectroscopic experiments with +ultracold atoms. We consider starting from a spin polarized state with small +hole doping and applying a two-photon Raman photoexcitation, which transfers +atoms into a different spin state. We show that such magnon injection spectra +exhibit a separate peak corresponding to formation of a bound state between a +hole and a magnon. This polaron peak is separated from the simple magnon +spectrum by energy proportional to single particle tunneling and can be easily +resolved with currently available experimental techniques.

Until now most simulations of the magnetic +dynamo in accretion discs have used a local approximation (known as the +shearing box). While these simulations demonstrate the possibility of a +self-sustaining dynamo, the magnetic activity generated in these models +saturates at $\beta \gg 1$.

There have been recent attempts +at simulating magnetic activity in global accretion discs with parameters +relevant to the dwarf novae. These too find values of $\beta \gg 1$. We +speculate that the tension between these models and the observations may be +caused by numerical magnetic diffusivity. As a pedagogical example, we present +exact time-dependent solutions for the evolution of weak magnetic fields in an +incompressible fluid subject to linear shear and magnetic diffusivity. We find +that the maximum factor by which the initial magnetic energy can be increased +depends on the magnetic Reynolds number as ${\mathcal R}_{\rm m}^{2/3}$. We +estimate that current global numerical simulations of dwarf nova discs have +numerical magnetic Reynolds numbers around 6 orders of magnitude less than the +physical value found in dwarf nova discs of ${\mathcal R}_{\rm m} \sim +10^{10}$.

We develop a dynamic finite-size scaling (DFSS) +theory for the dynamic behavior in the coexistence region where different +phases coexist. It is characterized by an exponentially large time scale +related to the tunneling between the two phases. We show that, when considering +time scales of the order of the tunneling time, the dynamic behavior can be +described by a two-state coarse-grained dynamics. This allows us to obtain +exact predictions for the dynamical scaling functions. To test the general DFSS +theory at FOTs, we consider the two-dimensional Ising model in the +low-temperature phase, where the external magnetic field drives a FOT, and the +20-state Potts model, which undergoes a thermal FOT.

We compute the $k$-resolved electronic reduced spin-density +matrix including precessional dynamics around internal spin-orbit and exchange +fields as well as the electron-electron Coulomb scattering for densities and +spin coherences. Based on a comparison with numerical solutions of the full +Boltzmann scattering integrals, we establish that the $k$-resolved reduced +spin-density matrix dynamics are well described using a simpler generalized +relaxation-time ansatz for the reduced spin-density matrix.

Our approach reproduces the behaviors of the demagnetization time +$\tau_{m} \propto 1/\tau$ and $\tau_{m} \propto \tau$ for the limits of short +and long $\tau$, respectively, and is also valid for the intermediate regime. +The ansatz thus provides a tool to include the correct demagnetization behavior +in approaches that treat other contributions to the magnetization dynamics such +as transport or magnon/phonon dynamics.",2208.02356v1 +1999-09-02,The MHD Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability III: The Role of Sheared Magnetic Field in Planar Flows,"We have carried out simulations of the nonlinear evolution of the +magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability for compressible +fluids in $2\frac{1}{2}$-dimensions, extending our previous work by Frank et al +(1996) and Jones \etal (1997). In the present work we have simulated flows in +the x-y plane in which a ``sheared'' magnetic field of uniform strength +``smoothly'' rotates across a thin velocity shear layer from the z direction to +the x direction, aligned with the flow field. We focus on dynamical evolution +of fluid features, kinetic energy dissipation, and mixing of the fluid between +the two layers, considering their dependence on magnetic field strength for +this geometry. The introduction of magnetic shear can allow a Cat's Eye-like +vortex to form, even when the field is stronger than the nominal linear +instability limit given above. For strong fields that vortex is asymmetric with +respect to the preliminary shear layer, however, so the subsequent dissipation +is enhanced over the uniform field cases of comparable field strength. In fact, +so long as the magnetic field achieves some level of dynamical importance +during an eddy turnover time, the asymmetries introduced through the magnetic +shear will increase flow complexity, and, with that, dissipation and mixing. +The degree of the fluid mixing between the two layers is strongly influenced by +the magnetic field strength.

The origin of this field has not as yet been explained +in a fully satisfactory way and represents one of the main challenges of the +astrophysical dynamo theory. In both the galactic dynamo theory and the +primordial-origin theory, a major influence is exerted by the small-scale +magnetic fluctuations. This article is devoted to constructing a systematic +second-order statistical theory of such small-scale fields. The statistics of +these fields are studied in the kinematic approximation and for the case of +large Prandtl numbers, which is relevant for the galactic and protogalactic +plasma. The advecting velocity field is assumed to be Gaussian and short-time +correlated.

With the goal of better understanding these +dynamics, we carry out a set of numerical experiments exploring fundamental +characteristics of three dimensional magnetic flux tube reconnection. We first +show that reconnecting flux tubes at opposite extremes of twist behave very +differently: in some configurations, low twist tubes slingshot while high twist +tubes tunnel. We then discuss a theory explaining these differences: by +assuming helicity conservation during the reconnection one can show that at +high twist, tunneled tubes reach a lower magnetic energy state than slingshot +tubes, whereas at low twist the opposite holds. We test three predictions made +by this theory. 1) We find that the level of twist at which the transition from +slingshot to tunnel occurs is about two to three times higher than predicted on +the basis of energetics and helicity conservation alone, probably because the +dynamics of the reconnection play a large role as well. 2) We find that the +tunnel occurs at all flux tube collision angles predicted by the theory. 3) We +find that the amount of magnetic energy a slingshot or a tunnel reconnection +releases agrees reasonably well with the theory, though at the high +resistivities we have to use for numerical stability, a significant amount of +magnetic energy is lost to diffusion, independent of reconnection.",0501473v1 +2007-06-21,Bubble-Wrap for Bullets: The Stability Imparted By A Thin Magnetic Layer,"There has been significant recent work which examines a situation where a +thin magnetic layer is `draped' over a core merging into a larger cluster; the +same process also appears to be at work at a bubble rising from the cluster +centre. Such a thin magnetic layer could thermally isolate the core from the +cluster medium, but only if the same shear process which generates the layer +does not later disrupt it.

We further investigate how the +ejection efficiency is governed by the magnetic field strength. Our simulations +last for up to 5000 dynamical time scales corresponding to 900 orbital periods +of the inner disk. As a general result we observe a continuous and robust +outflow launched from the inner part of the disk, expanding into a collimated +jet of super fast magneto-sonic speed. For long time scales the disk internal +dynamics changes, as due to outflow ejection and disk accretion the disk mass +decreases. For magneto-centrifugally driven jets we find that for i) less +diffusive disks, ii) a stronger magnetic field, iii) a low poloidal +diffusivity, or a iv) lower numerical diffusivity (resolution), the mass +loading of the outflow is increased - resulting in more powerful jets with high +mass flux. For weak magnetization the (weak) outflow is driven by the magnetic +pressure gradient.

A detailed and comprehensive analysis +highlights several key features matching geomagnetic observations or dynamo +theory predictions -- all present together in the same simulation -- but it +also unveils interesting insights relevant for Earth's core dynamics.In this +strong-field, dipole-dominated dynamo simulation, the magnetic energy is one +order of magnitude larger than the kinetic energy. The spatial distribution of +magnetic intensity is highly heterogeneous, and a stark dynamical contrast +exists between the interior and the exterior of the tangent cylinder (the +cylinder parallel to the axis of rotation that circumscribes the inner core).In +the interior, the magnetic field is strongest, and is associated with a +vigorous twisted polar vortex, whose dynamics may occasionally lead to the +formation of a reverse polar flux patch at the surface of the shell. +Furthermore, the strong magnetic field also allows accumulation of light +material within the tangent cylinder, leading to stable stratification there. +Torsional Alfv{\'e}n waves are frequently triggered in the vicinity of the +tangent cylinder and propagate towards the equator.Outside the tangent +cylinder, the magnetic field inhibits the growth of zonal winds and the kinetic +energy is mostly non-zonal. Spatio-temporal analysis indicates that the +low-frequency, non-zonal flow is quite geostrophic (columnar) and predominantly +large-scale: an m=1 eddy spontaneously emerges in our most extreme simulations, +without any heterogeneous boundary forcing.Our spatio-temporal analysis further +reveals that (i) the low-frequency, large-scale flow is governed by a balance +between Coriolis and buoyancy forces -- magnetic field and flow tend to align, +minimizing the Lorentz force; (ii) the high-frequency flow obeys a balance +between magnetic and Coriolis forces; (iii) the convective plumes mostly live +at an intermediate scale, whose dynamics is driven by a 3-term 1 MAC balance -- +involving Coriolis, Lorentz and buoyancy forces. However, small-scale (E^{1/3}) +quasi-geostrophic convection is still observed in the regions of low magnetic +intensity.",1701.01299v3 +1995-03-30,Coarsening in the q-State Potts Model and the Ising Model with Globally Conserved Magnetization,"We study the nonequilibrium dynamics of the $q$-state Potts model following a +quench from the high temperature disordered phase to zero temperature.

The +numerical micromagnetic approach uses the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation +including contributions from thermal fluctuations and long-range dipole-dipole +demagnetizing effects implemented using a fast-multipole expansion. The +individual model nanomagnets are 9 nm x 9 nm x 150 nm iron pillars similar to +those fabricated on a surface with STM-assisted chemical vapor deposition [S. +Wirth, et al., J. Appl.

The quasiparticle gap scales as |J|. S(q,\omega), +evolves smoothly from its strong coupling form with spin gap at q = (\pi,\pi) +to a spin wave form. At J>0, A(\vec{k},\omega) shows a dispersion relation +following that of hybridized bands.

For J +< 0 A(\vec{k},\omega) is similar to that of non-interacting electrons in a +staggered magnetic field. Spin, T_S, and charge, T_C, scales are defined. For +weak to intermediate couplings, T_S marks the onset of antiferromagnetic +fluctuations and follows a J^2 law. At strong couplings T_S scales as J.

Under such conditions, ions +are dragged by neutrals, and the magnetic field acts as if it is frozen-in to +the dynamics of the neutral gas. However, magnetized electrons drift under the +action of the electric and magnetic fields induced in the reference frame of +ions moving with the neutral gas.

The transition from the three-dimensional turbulent flow to a +""two-and-a-half-dimensional"" flow (Montgomery & Turner (1982)) is a result of +the combined effects of short-time linear Joule dissipation and longer time +nonlinear creation of polarisation anisotropy.

Without a pinning potential, the skyrmion +performs cyclotron motion due to the strong emergent magnetic field originating +from the Berry phase of spins, and all skyrmions occupy the lowest Landau +level. Their wave functions are strongly localized in a region with radius less +than $1\ \AA$ when no driving force is applied. Thus in most circumstances, the +quantum effects of a skyrmion are weak. In the presence of a pinning potential, +the lowest Landau level for skyrmions is split into quantized levels, +characterized by the orbital moments. The transition between quantized levels +can be observed experimentally by microwave absorption measurements in low +temperature region. The quantum effects are more prominent for a skyrmion with +a small size, which can be realized in magnets with a large +Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction.",1304.7322v2 +2013-08-14,A strong magnetic field around the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Galaxy,"The centre of our Milky Way harbours the closest candidate for a supermassive +black hole.

Several arguments point to the outer core as the source for a +magnetic field in the WD remnant: the outer third of a $\sim 0.55\,M_\odot$ WD +is processed during the shell burning phase(s) of the progenitor; the escape of +magnetic helicity through the envelope mediates the growth of (compensating) +helicity in the core, as is needed to maintain a stable magnetic field in the +remnant; and the intense radiation flux at the core boundary facilitates +magnetic buoyancy within a relatively thick tachocline layer.

The interpretation of the +analysis is that unstable solutions lead to energy transfer between the +interacting modes while stable solutions do not. From this, a dependence of +possible interscale energy and helicity transfers on the helicities of the +interacting modes is derived. As expected from the inverse cascade of magnetic +helicity in 3D MHD turbulence, mode interactions with like helicities lead to +transfer of energy and magnetic helicity to smaller wavenumbers. However, some +interactions of modes with unlike helicities also contribute to an inverse +energy transfer. As such, an inverse energy cascade for nonhelical magnetic +fields is shown to be possible. Furthermore, it is found that high values of +the cross-helicity may have an asymmetric effect on forward and reverse +transfer of energy, where forward transfer is more quenched in regions of high +cross-helicity than reverse transfer.

Although a hypermassive neutron star may be stable on a dynamical +timescale, magnetic braking and viscous damping of differential rotation will +ultimately alter the equilibrium structure, possibly leading to delayed +catastrophic collapse. Here we consider the slow-rotation, weak-magnetic field +limit in which E_rot << E_mag << W, where E_rot is the rotational kinetic +energy, E_mag is the magnetic energy, and W is the gravitational binding energy +of the star. We assume the system to be axisymmetric and solve the MHD +equations in both Newtonian gravitation and general relativity. Toroidal +magnetic fields are generated whenever the angular velocity varies along the +initial poloidal field lines. We find that the toroidal fields and angular +velocities oscillate independently along each poloidal field line, which +enables us to transform the original 2+1 equations into 1+1 form and solve them +along each field line independently. The incoherent oscillations on different +field lines stir up turbulent-like motion in tens of Alfven timescales (""phase +mixing""). In the presence of viscosity, the stars eventually are driven to +uniform rotation, with the energy contained in the initial differential +rotation going into heat. Our evolution calculations serve as qualitative +guides and benchmarks for future, more realistic MHD simulations in full 3+1 +general relativity.",0312038v1 +2004-04-06,Estimating galaxy cluster magnetic fields by the classical and hadronic minimum energy criterion,"We wish to estimate magnetic field strengths of radio emitting galaxy +clusters by minimising the non-thermal energy density contained in cosmic ray +electrons (CRe), protons (CRp), and magnetic fields. The classical minimum +energy estimate can be constructed independently of the origin of the radio +synchrotron emitting CRe yielding thus an absolute minimum of the non-thermal +energy density. Provided the observed synchrotron emission is generated by a +CRe population originating from hadronic interactions of CRp with the ambient +thermal gas of the intra-cluster medium, the parameter space of the classical +scenario can be tightened by means of the hadronic minimum energy criterion. +For both approaches, we derive the theoretically expected tolerance regions for +the inferred minimum energy densities. Application to the radio halo of the +Coma cluster and the radio mini-halo of the Perseus cluster yields +equipartition between cosmic rays and magnetic fields within the expected +tolerance regions. In the hadronic scenario, the inferred central magnetic +field strength ranges from 2.4 muG (Coma) to 8.8 muG (Perseus), while the +optimal CRp energy density is constrained to 2% +/- 1% of the thermal energy +density (Perseus). We discuss the possibility of a hadronic origin of the Coma +radio halo while current observations favour such a scenario for the Perseus +radio mini-halo.

The density shows a double-peaked PDF, consistent with the +cooling curve that was used. The PDF of the magnetic field shows a high-end +tail, providing a tell-tale signature of the operation of the small scale +dynamo. The magnetic field strength correlates positively with the density. As +a result, the field amplification takes place more vigorously in the lower +temperature, denser gas. The Lagrangian chaos in the simulated turbulent flows +is studied in substantial detail. It is shown that the stretching rate of +material lines as well as the Lyapunov exponents can be used to gain important +insights into the growth of magnetic field. The cancellation exponent for the +small scale supernova-driven dynamo is derived and it is shown that +constructive folding of field lines in the dynamo is very inefficient. We also +show that our Lagrangian approach can yield actual measures of the turbulent +diffusivity in the simulated ISM. The turbulent diffusivity provides insights +into the mixing of elements from supernova ejecta on macroscopic scales.

The observed segment is +about 25 pc in length, and contains about 1.25 full turns of each of the two +continuous, helically wound strands. We interpret this feature as a torsional +Alfven wave propagating vertically away from the Galactic disk, driven by +rotation of the magnetized circumnuclear gas disk. As such, it offers a new +morphological probe of the Galactic center magnetic field.

In this paper we critically examine the +basic heuristic assumptions in the model of the Tayler-Spruit dynamo, which +describes how a pinch-type instability of a toroidal magnetic field in +differentially rotating stellar radiative zones may result in large-scale fluid +motion. We agree with prior published work both on the existence of the +instability and its nearly horizontal geometry for perturbations. However, the +approximations in the original Acheson dispersion relation are valid only for +small length scales, and we disagree that the dispersion relation can be +extrapolated to horizontal length scales of order the radius of the star. We +contend that dynamical effects, in particular angular momentum conservation, +limit the maximum horizontal length scale. We therefore present transport +coefficients for chemical mixing and angular momentum redistribution by +magnetic torques that are significantly different from previous published +values. The new magnetic viscosity is reduced by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude +compared to the old one, and we find that magnetic angular momentum transport +by this mechanism is very sensitive to gradients in the mean molecular weight. +The revised coefficients are more compatible with empirical constraints on the +timescale of core-envelope coupling in young stars than the previous ones. +However, solar models including only this mechanism possess a rapidly rotating +core, in contradiction with helioseismic data.

RESULTS: We show that extended +disc winds, X-winds, and stellar winds occupy distinct regions in the poloidal +speed vs. specific angular momentum plane. Comparisons with current +observations of T Tauri jets yield quantitative constraints on the range of +launching radii, magnetic lever arms, and specific energy input in disc and +stellar winds. Implications on the origin of jet asymmetries and disc magnetic +fields are outlined. CONCLUSIONS: We argue that ejection phenomena from +accreting T Tauri stars most likely include three dynamical components: (1) an +outer self-collimated steady disc wind carrying most of the mass-flux in the +optical jet (when present), confining (2) a pressure-driven coronal stellar +wind and (3) a hot inner flow made of blobs sporadically ejected from the +magnetopause. If the stellar magnetic moment is parallel to the disc magnetic +field, then the highly variable inner flow resembles a ""Reconnection X-wind"", +that has been proven to efficiently brake down an accreting and contracting +young star. If the magnetic moment is anti-parallel, then larger versions of +the solar coronal mass ejections are likely to occur.

A significant drawback of this +assumption is that the theoretical predicted spectrum, calculated within the +framework of the ``internal shocks'' scenario using the standard assumption +that the magnetic field maintains a steady value throughout the shocked region, +leads to a slope F_\nu \propto \nu^{-1/2} below 100 keV, which is in +contradiction to the much harder spectra observed. This is due to the electrons +cooling time being much shorter than the dynamical time. In order to overcome +this problem, we propose here that the magnetic field created by the internal +shocks decays on a length scale much shorter than the comoving width of the +plasma. We show that under this assumption synchrotron radiation can reproduce +the observed prompt emission spectra of the majority of the bursts. We +calculate the required decay length of the magnetic field, and find it to be +\~10^4 - 10^5 cm (equivalent to 10^5 - 10^6 skin depths), much shorter than the +characteristic comoving width of the plasma, ~3*10^{9} cm. We implement our +model to the case of GRB050820A, where a break at <~ 4 keV was observed, and +show that this break can be explained by synchrotron self absorption.

We show that the alignment is +especially efficient in outer part of the disks. In the presence of magnetic +field, these aligned grains produce polarized emission in infrared wavelengths. +We consider a simple model of an accretion disk and provide predictions for +polarization that should be available to both instruments that do not resolve +the disks and future instruments that will resolve the disks. As the surface +magnetic field and the bulk magnetic field play different roles for the disk +dynamics, we consider separately the contributions that arises from the surface +areas of the disk and its interior.

In particular, +we consider the modification of the gluon dynamics for a color superconductor +with three massless quark flavors in the presence of an external magnetic +field.

At the zero-order limit of exact +tight-coupling, we show that the vorticity is zero and no magnetogenesis takes +place at any nonlinear order. We show that magnetogenesis also fails at all +orders if either protons or electrons have the same velocity as the radiation, +and momentum transfer is neglected. Then we prove a key no-go result: at +first-order in the tight-coupling approximation, magnetic fields and vorticity +still cannot be generated even via nonlinear effects. The tight-coupling +approximation must be broken at first order, for the generation of vorticity +and magnetic fields, and we derive a closed set of nonlinear evolution +equations that governs this generation.

The rotating black hole which forms in this process is surrounded by +a hot, massive, magnetized torus and a magnetic field collimated along the spin +axis. This system is a candidate for the central engine of a short-hard +gamma-ray burst (GRB). Our code integrates the coupled Einstein-Maxwell-MHD +equations and is used to follow the collapse of magnetized hypermassive neutron +star models in full general relativity until the spacetime settles down to a +quasi-stationary state. We then employ the Cowling approximation, in which the +spacetime is frozen, to track the subsequent evolution of the disk. This +approximation allows us to greatly extend the disk evolutions and study the +resulting outflows, which may be relevant to the generation of a GRB.

The +quantitative measure of the ellipticity of the gap function is determined by a +dimensionless ratio, proportional to the square of the magnetic field and +inversely proportional to the fourth power of the quark chemical potential. For +magnetic fields in stars, $B\lesssim 10^{18} G$, the corresponding ratio is +estimated to be less than about $10^{-2}$, justifying the use of the weak +magnetic field limit in all stellar applications.",1202.0872v2 +2012-02-13,Collisionless magnetic reconnection in a plasmoid chain,"The kinetic features of plasmoid chain formation and evolution are +investigated by two dimensional Particle-in-Cell simulations. Magnetic +reconnection is initiated in multiple X points by the tearing instability. +Plasmoids form and grow in size by continuously coalescing. Each chain plasmoid +exhibits a strong out-of plane core magnetic field and an out-of-plane electron +current that drives the coalescing process. The disappearance of the X points +in the coalescence process are due to anti-reconnection, a magnetic +reconnection where the plasma inflow and outflow are reversed with respect to +the original reconnection flow pattern. Anti-reconnection is characterized by +the Hall magnetic field quadrupole signature. Two new kinetic features, not +reported by previous studies of plasmoid chain evolution, are here revealed. +First, intense electric fields develop in-plane normally to the separatrices +and drive the ion dynamics in the plasmoids. Second, several bipolar electric +field structures are localized in proximity of the plasmoid chain. The analysis +of the electron distribution function and phase space reveals the presence of +counter-streaming electron beams, unstable to the two stream instability, and +phase space electron holes along the reconnection separatrices.",1202.2663v1 +2012-03-15,Two-color QCD with staggered fermions at finite temperature under the influence of a magnetic field,"In this paper we investigate the influence of a constant external magnetic +field on the finite-temperature phase structure and the chiral properties of a +simplified lattice model for QCD. We assume an SU(2) gauge symmetry and employ +dynamical staggered fermions of identical mass without rooting, corresponding +to Nf=4 flavors of identical electric charge. For fixed mass (given in lattice +units) the critical temperature is seen to rise with the magnetic field +strength. For three fixed beta-values, selected such that we stay (i) within +the chirally broken phase, (ii) within the transition region or (iii) within +the chirally restored phase, we study the approach to the chiral limit for +various values of the magnetic field. Within the chirally broken (confinement) +phase the chiral condensate is found to increase monotonically with a growing +magnetic field strength. In the chiral limit the increase starts linear in +agreement with a chiral model studied by Shushpanov and Smilga. Within the +chirally restored (deconfinement) phase the chiral condensate tends to zero in +the chiral limit, irrespective of the strength of the magnetic field.",1203.3360v2 +2012-05-16,Self-cancellation of ephemeral regions in the quiet Sun,"With the observations from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager aboard the +Solar Dynamics Observatory, we statistically investigate the ephemeral regions +(ERs) in the quiet Sun. We find that there are two types of ERs: normal ERs +(NERs) and self-cancelled ERs (SERs). Each NER emerges and grows with +separation of its opposite polarity patches which will cancel or coalesce with +other surrounding magnetic flux. Each SER also emerges and grows and its +dipolar patches separate at first, but a part of magnetic flux of the SER will +move together and cancel gradually, which is described with the term +""self-cancellation"" by us. We identify 2988 ERs among which there are 190 SERs, +about 6.4% of the ERs. The mean value of self-cancellation fraction of SERs is +62.5%, and the total self-cancelled flux of SERs is 9.8% of the total ER flux. +Our results also reveal that the higher the ER magnetic flux is, (i) the easier +the performance of ER self-cancellation is, (ii) the smaller the +self-cancellation fraction is, and (iii) the more the self-cancelled flux is. +We think that the self-cancellation of SERs is caused by the submergence of +magnetic loops connecting the dipolar patches, without magnetic energy release.",1205.3716v1 +2012-07-17,Thermal Shielding of an Emerging Active Region,"The interaction between emerging active regions and the pre-existing coronal +magnetic field is important to understand better the mechanisms of storage and +release of magnetic energy from the convection zone to the high corona. We are +aiming at describing the first steps of the emergence of an active region +within a pre-existing quiet-Sun corona in terms of the thermal and magnetic +structure. We use unprecedented spatial, temporal and spectral coverage from +the Atmospheric Imager Assembly (AIA) and from the Helioseismic and Magnetic +Imager (HMI) on board the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). Starting on 30 May +2010 at 17:00 UT and for 8 hours, we follow the emergence of the active region +AR11076 within a quiet-Sun region. Using several SDO/AIA filters covering +temperatures from 50000K to 10 MK, we show that the emerging process is +characterised by a thermal shield at the interface between the emerging flux +and pre-existing quiet-Sun corona. The active region 11076 can be considered as +a peculiar example of emerging active region as (i) the polarities emerge in a +photospheric quiet-Sun region near a supergranular-like distribution, (ii) the +polarities forming the bipolar emerging structure do not rotate with respect to +each other indicating a small amount of twist in the emerging flux bundle. +There is a thermal shield formed at the interface between the emerging active +region and the pre-existing quiet-Sun region. The thermal shielding structure +deduced from all SDO/AIA channels exhibits a strong asymmetry between the two +polarities of the active region suggesting that the heating mechanism for one +polarity is more likely to be magnetic reconnection, whilst it is due to +increasing magnetic pressure for the opposite polarity.",1207.3992v1 +2012-08-06,A Non-radial Eruption in a Quadrupolar Magnetic Configuration with a Coronal Null,"We report one of several homologous non-radial eruptions from NOAA active +region (AR) 11158 that are strongly modulated by the local magnetic field as +observed with the Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO). A small bipole emerged in +the sunspot complex and subsequently created a quadrupolar flux system. +Non-linear force-free field (NLFFF) extrapolation from vector magnetograms +reveals its energetic nature: the fast-shearing bipole accumulated ~2e31 erg +free energy (10% of AR total) over just one day despite its relatively small +magnetic flux (5% of AR total). During the eruption, the ejected plasma +followed a highly inclined trajectory, over 60 degrees with respect to the +radial direction, forming a jet-like, inverted-Y shaped structure in its wake. +Field extrapolation suggests complicated magnetic connectivity with a coronal +null point, which is favorable of reconnection between different flux +components in the quadrupolar system. Indeed, multiple pairs of flare ribbons +brightened simultaneously, and coronal reconnection signatures appeared near +the inferred null. Part of the magnetic setting resembles that of a +blowout-type jet; the observed inverted-Y structure likely outlines the open +field lines along the separatrix surface. Owing to the asymmetrical +photospheric flux distribution, the confining magnetic pressure decreases much +faster horizontally than upward. This special field geometry likely guided the +non-radial eruption during its initial stage.",1208.1097v1 +2012-08-28,Instrumentation status of the low-b magnet systems at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC),"The low-beta magnet systems are located in the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) +insertion regions around the four interaction points. They are the key elements +in the beams focusing/defocusing process allowing proton collisions at +luminosity up to 10**34/cm**2s. Those systems are a contribution of the US-LHC +Accelerator project. The systems are mainly composed of the quadrupole magnets +(triplets), the separation dipoles and their respective electrical feed-boxes +(DFBX). The low-beta magnet systems operate in an environment of extreme +radiation, high gradient magnetic field and high heat load to the cryogenic +system due to the beam dynamic effect. Due to the severe environment, the +robustness of the diagnostics is primordial for the operation of the triplets. +The hardware commissioning phase of the LHC was completed in February 2010. In +the sake of a safer and more user-friendly operation, several consolidations +and instrumentation modifications were implemented during this commissioning +phase.

Our earlier study of magnetized BHNSs showed +that NS tidal disruption winds the magnetic field into a toroidal +configuration, with poloidal fields so weak that capturing MRI with full-disk +simulations would require $\sim 10^8$ CPU-hours. In that study we imposed +equatorial symmetry, suppressing poloidal magnetic fields that might be +generated from plasma crossing the orbital plane. Here we show that initial +conditions that break this symmetry (i.e., {\it tilted} poloidal magnetic +fields in the NS) generate much stronger poloidal fields in the disk, +indicating that asymmetric initial conditions may be necessary for establishing +BHNS mergers as SGRB progenitors via fully general relativistic MHD +simulations. We demonstrate that BHNS mergers may form an SGRB engine under the +right conditions by seeding the remnant disk from an unmagnetized BHNS +simulation with purely poloidal fields dynamically unimportant initially, but +strong enough to resolve MRI. Magnetic turbulence occurs in the disk, driving +accretion and supporting Poynting-dominated jet outflows sufficient to power an +SGRB.",1209.1632v2 +2012-11-26,Nonlinear Evolution of the Radiation-Driven Magneto-Acoustic Instability (RMI),"We examine the nonlinear development of unstable magnetosonic waves driven by +a background radiative flux -- the Radiation-Driven Magneto-Acoustic +Instability (RMI, a.k.a. the ""photon bubble"" instability). The RMI may serve as +a persistent source of density, radiative flux, and magnetic field fluctuations +in stably-stratified, optically-thick media. The conditions for instability are +present in a variety of astrophysical environments, and do not require the +radiation pressure to dominate or the magnetic field to be strong. Here we +numerically study the saturation properties of the RMI, covering three orders +of magnitude in the relative strength of radiation, magnetic field, and gas +energies. Two-dimensional, time-dependent radiation-MHD simulations of local, +stably-stratified domains are conducted with Zeus-MP in the optically-thick, +highly-conducting limit. Our results confirm the theoretical expectations of +Blaes and Socrates (2003) in that the RMI operates even in gas +pressure-dominated environments that are weakly magnetized. The saturation +amplitude is a monotonically increasing function of the ratio of radiation to +gas pressure. Keeping this ratio constant, we find that the saturation +amplitude peaks when the magnetic pressure is comparable to the radiation +pressure. We discuss the implications of our results for the dynamics of +magnetized stellar envelopes, where the RMI should act as a source of +sub-photospheric perturbations.",1211.6107v2 +2012-12-21,Buoyant Magnetic Loops Generated by Global Convective Dynamo Action,"Our global 3D simulations of convection and dynamo action in a Sun-like star +reveal that persistent wreaths of strong magnetism can be built within the bulk +of the convention zone. Here we examine the characteristics of buoyant magnetic +structures that are self-consistently created by dynamo action and turbulent +convective motions in a simulation with solar stratification but rotating at +three times the current solar rate. These buoyant loops originate within +sections of the magnetic wreaths in which turbulent flows amplify the fields to +much larger values than is possible through laminar processes. These amplified +portions can rise through the convective layer by a combination of magnetic +buoyancy and advection by convective giant cells, forming buoyant loops. We +measure statistical trends in the polarity, twist, and tilt of these loops. +Loops are shown to preferentially arise in longitudinal patches somewhat +reminiscent of active longitudes in the Sun, although broader in extent. We +show that the strength of the axisymmetric toroidal field is not a good +predictor of the production rate for buoyant loops or the amount of magnetic +flux in the loops that are produced.",1212.5612v1 +2013-04-15,"Collisions, magnetization, and transport coefficients in the lower solar atmosphere","The lower solar atmosphere is an intrinsically multi-component and +collisional environment with electron and proton collision frequencies in the +range $10^{8}-10^{10}$ Hz, which may be considerably higher than the +gyro-frequencies for both species. We aim to provide a reliable quantitative +set of data for collision frequencies, magnetization, viscosity, and thermal +conductivity for the most important species in the lower solar atmosphere. +Having such data at hand is essential for any modeling that is aimed at +describing realistic properties of the considered environment. + We describe the altitude dependence of the parameters and the different +physics of collisions between charged species, and between charged and neutrals +species. Regions of dominance of each type of collisions are clearly +identified. We determine the layers within which either electrons or ions or +both are unmagnetized. Protons are shown to be un-magnetized in the lower +atmosphere in a layer that is at least 1000 km thick even for a kilo-Gauss +magnetic field that decreases exponentially with altitude. In these layers the +dynamics of charged species cannot be affected by the magnetic field, and this +fact is used in our modeling. Viscosity and thermal conductivity coefficients +are calculated for layers where ions are unmagnetized. We compare viscosity and +friction and determine the regions of dominance of each of the phenomena. + We provide the most reliable quantitative values for most important +parameters in the lower solar atmosphere to be used in analytical modeling and +numerical simulations of various phenomena such as waves, transport and +magnetization of particles, and the triggering mechanism of coronal mass +ejections.",1304.4010v1 +2013-04-29,Spatially periodic domain wall pinning potentials: Asymmetric pinning and dipolar biasing,"Domain wall propagation has been measured in continuous, weakly disordered, +quasi-two-dimensional, Ising-like magnetic layers that are subject to spatially +periodic domain wall pinning potentials. The potentials are generated +non-destructively using the stray magnetic field of ordered arrays of +magnetically hard [Co/Pt]$_m$ nanoplatelets which are patterned above and are +physically separated from the continuous magnetic layer. The effect of the +periodic pinning potentials on thermally activated domain wall creep dynamics +is shown to be equivalent, at first approximation, to that of a uniform, +effective retardation field, $H_{ret}$, which acts against the applied field, +$H$. We show that $H_{ret}$ depends not only on the array geometry but also on +the relative orientation of $H$ and the magnetization of the nanoplatelets. A +result of the latter dependence is that wall-mediated hysteresis loops obtained +for a set nanoplatelet magnetization exhibit many properties that are normally +associated with ferromagnet/antiferromagnet exchange bias systems.

We first +construct a gravity background of a homogeneous mass shell with a finite +(axial) charge density gravitationally collapsing to a charged blackhole, which +serves as a dual model for out-of-equilibrium charged plasma undergoing +thermalization. We find that a finite charge density in the plasma slows down +the thermalization. We then study the out-of-equilibrium properties of Chiral +Magnetic Effect and Chiral Magnetic Wave in this background. As the medium +thermalizes, the magnitude of chiral magnetic conductivity and the response +time delay grow. We find a dynamical peak in the spectral function of retarded +current correlator, which we identify as an out-of-equilibrium chiral magnetic +wave. The group velocity of the out-of-equilibrium chiral magnetic wave is +shown to receive a dominant contribution from a non-equilibrium effect, making +the wave moving much faster than in the equilibrium, which may enhance the +charge transports via triangle anomaly in the early stage of heavy-ion +collisions.",1305.3949v2 +2013-06-20,"Magnetic orders, excitations, and phase transitions in Fe_1+yTe","We study the magnetic properties of Fe_1+y Te, a parent compound of the +iron-based high-temperature superconductors. Motivated by recent neutron +scattering experiments, we show that a spin-1 exchange model, supplemented by a +single-ion spin anisotropy, accounts well for the experimentally observed low +temperature magnetic phase diagram, that exhibits a commensurate bicollinear +order at low Fe dopings (y < 0.12) and an incommensurate spin-spiral order at +high Fe dopings (y > 0.12). We suggest that the commensurate-incommensurate +transition at y = 0.12 is due to the competition between the exchange +interaction and the local spin anisotropy. At low Fe dopings, the single-ion +spin anisotropy is strong and pins the spins along the easy axis, which, +together with the spatially anisotropic exchanges, induces a unusual +bicollinear commensurate magnetic order. The low-energy spin-wave excitation is +gapped due to the explict breaking of spin-rotational symmetry by the local +spin anisotropy. At high Fe dopings, the single-ion anisotropy is weak, and the +exchange favors an incommensurate coplanar state. The incommensurate magnetic +wavevector averages out the spin anisotropy so that a gapless low-energy +spin-wave excitation is obtained.
