Investigation of Potential Factors on South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly

The first part of this investigation analyzes the deep earthquake occurrences in Nazca subducting under South America. The depth taken is to get information about possible influences from the unknown materials and formations under the crust. The results revealed the presence of malleable material, which is unbreakable and, therefore, unable to trigger earthquakes. The structure of those elements is diamagnetic, attracting ionized particles from the Van Allen belt region in the ionosphere. The charged particles travel towards Earth’s surface, enhanced during the geomagnetic storms. The South Atlantic Magnetic Anomaly (SAMA) found that the deformation suffered by the anomaly moving from South Africa to South America is, possibly due to a bulge of unknown flexible material buried underneath the oceanic and continental crust. The continental part is strengthening in weakness because the background also has a high amount of diamagnetic material in this region, and it would not happen over the Atlantic Ocean, where part of the deformation is placed.

Magnetic levitation using diamagnetism:Mechanism,applications and prospects

As a typical contact-free manipulation technique that removes friction and contamination risk,levitation has gradually become a preferred candidate for various applications.Magnetic levitation using diamagnetism,beyond Earnshaw’s theorem,is a kind of passive stable levitation that can be achieved at normal temperatures with no energy input.Appealingly,most seemingly nonmagnetic materials can be levitated in a magnetic field and can stabilize free levitation of magnetic materials.This review focuses on the fundamental principles of magnetic levitation using diamagnetism,with emphasis on its burgeoning applications.The theoretical basis associated with the magnetic levitation using diamagnetism is discussed by elucidating the characteristics of diamagnetic materials,and the key levitation mechanisms are clarified.Afterwards,state-of-the-art applications in various aspects,including sensing and measurement,actuating and micromanipulation,energy harvesting and magnetic gravity compensation,are summarized and compared.Finally,the review concludes with a brief outlook on future perspectives.

Observations of mode frequency increase and the appearance of ITB during the m/n=1/1 kink mode in EAST high electron temperature long pulse operation

A new long-pulse high electron temperature(Te)regime has been achieved on experimental advanced superconducting tokamak by pure radio frequency heating.In this new scenario,there are mainly two confinement states involving two magneto-hydrodynamic(MHD)modes,one of which is identified as m/n=1/1 kink mode(where m and n are the poloidal and toroidal mode numbers,respectively).The frequency evolution of the kink mode is investigated through the three-dimensional,toroidal,and nonlinear Hall-MHD code CLT.We firstly find that the frequency of the m/n=1/1 kink mode significantly increases during each sawtooth crash and then confirmed it through the experimental data.The simulation results indicate that the increase of the mode frequency is mainly due to the significant increase of the electron diamagnetic frequency nearby the reconnection region.We have also observed the internal transport barrier(ITB)during the m/n=1/1 kink mode.To further investigate this m/n=1/1 kink mode in this new regime,the multi-scale interactions between the m/n=1/1 kink mode and turbulence are discussed.

Non-commutative Fock-Darwin system and its magnetism properties

The Fock-Darwin system is studied in noncommutative quantum mechanics. We not only obtain its energy eigenvalues and eigenstates in noncommutative phase space, but also give an electron orbit description as well as the general expressions of the magnetization and the susceptibility in a noncommutative situation. Further, we discuss two particular cases of temperature and present some interesting results different from those obtained from usual quantum mechanics such as the susceptibility dependent on a magnetic field at high temperatures, the occurrence of the magnetization in a zero magnetic field and zero temperature limit, and so on.

Magnetic Monopoles and the Quantum Theory of Magnetism in Matter

Electricity and magnetism are common features of our world. The subject of electromagnetic fields in empty space populated only by point charges or smooth charge distributions in space is well understood. In that case, one deals with the classical theory of electrodynamics developed by J.C. Maxwell in 1864. Electromagnetism in the presence of matter is, however, a completely different problem. Microscopic electric behavior of homogeneous substances can in general be characterized fairly simply and completely. The theory that enables us to do this is fairly well understood. Sadly the situation is quite different for magnetism in matter. The study there is phenomenological. That is, the substance is characterized by a number of parameters and the experimentally determined relations among them. We are not aware of any successful microscopic theory of magnetism in matter. The microscopic theory of magnetic substances, a topic of fundamental and technological importance, is the subject of this paper.

Space Magnetism and Superconductivity: Diamagnetic Expulsion, Meissner Effect, Magnetic Pressure and Quantum Trapping Lead to the Origin and Stability of the Saturn Rings

Existence of the magnetic field of Saturn and the temperature around 70 - 100 K nearby of it bring us to the idea of diamagnetism and superconductivity of the rings particles. The rings could emerge from the icy particles moving on chaotic orbits around Saturn within protoplanetary cloud. After appearance of the magnetic field of Saturn all chaotic orbits of icy particles start to shift to the magnetic equator plane, where there is a minimum of the particles magnetic energy, due to diamagnetic force of expulsion like Meissner phenomenon. Each particle comes to the stable position preventing its own horizontal and vertical shift. Particles are locked within three-dimensional magnetic well due to Abrikosov quantum vortex phenomenon for superconductor. This mechanism is valid and it works even particles have a small fraction of superconductor. Final picture is similar to the picture of iron particles forms the same shape around a magnet on laboratory table. Any other phenomena like gravity resonances, dusty plasma and others may bring some peculiarities to the final picture of the rings. It follows that magnetic field of Saturn and low temperature around of it are the main reason for the rings origin and the rings is product of the early time of the magnetic field of Saturn appearance. Additional matter to the rings also may come from the frozen water particles generated from the Saturn sputniks geysers due to magnetic coupling between planet and satellites. The data of Cassini mission to Saturn rings are conforming suggested theory of their origin and existence.

Effect of a Magnetic Field on an Atomic Orbital

We consider the effect of a magnetic field on the motion of an atomic electron in its orbit. The usual treatment deals with the change in magnetic dipole moment assuming the electron's speed changes but the radius of its orbit remains unchanged. We derive the change in the magnetic dipole moment allowing both the speed and the radius to change. The cases of fixed radius on one hand and of fixed speed on the other are treated as special cases of our general case.

Direct evidence of high temperature superconductivity in one-unit-cell FeSe films on SrTiO_3 substrate by transport and magnetization measurements

Zero resistance and Meissner effect are two crucial experimental evidences of superconductivity in determining a new kind of superconductor, which can be detected by transport and diamagnetic measurements. In this paper, we briefly review the main transport and magnetization results on the one unit cell （1-UC） FeSe films grown on SrTiO3 （STO） substrates from our team in recent years, which identify the high temperature superconductivity in 1-UC FeSe films.

Extrinsic electromagnetic fields, low frequency (phonon) vibrations, and control of cell function: a non-linear resonance system

Chou and Chen’s report in the 1970s suggested conformational protein adaptation (CPA) might be influenced by low frequency phonons acting as “a possible information system”. This report proposes the universal force of electromagnetism initiates the phonon system they cited as it per-turbs paramagnetic/diamagnetic dampers within the protein matrix to produce a quantized low frequency phonon signal series. (http://www.phy.ilstu.edu/~ren/phononsims/page3.html) The signal series is iteratively processed by the protein beta sub-unit, the system, to posi-tion the alpha sub-unit, the outcome, a classic non-linear resonance system resulting in con-formational protein adaptation (CPA). CPA “priming” enables a secondary ATP/redox driven power system to complete cell activity. The evolutionary appearance of these two systems reflects their hierarchy: 1) a low energy phonon driven information control circuit governed by principles of physics that, along with proteins, may have preceded planet earth, and 2), an ATP/redox power completion circuit directed by principles of chemistry that evolved in living systems 1 billion or more years after earth formed.

Zonal Flows Driven by Small-Scale Drift-Alfven Modes

Generation of zonal flows by small-scale drift-Alfven modes is investigated by adopting the approach of parametric instability with the electron polarization drift included. The zonal mode can be excited by primary modes propagating at both electron and ion diamagnetic drift directions in contrast to the assertion in previous studies that only primary modes propagating in the ion diamagnetic drift directions can drive zonal instabilities. Generally, the growth rate of the driven zonal mode is in the same order as that in previous study. However, different from the previous work, the growth rate is no longer proportional to the difference between the diamagnetic drift frequencies of electrons and ions.

Nonlinear spectroscopy of barium in parallel electric and magnetic fields

We report on the experimental spectral observations of barium in parallel electric and magnetic fields. The laser pulse is linearly polarized along or perpendicular to the fields, leading to the states m = 0 and the states m = -t-1 populated, respectively, by one photon excitation. By sweeping the electric field, we observe the linear and nonlinear splitting of the diamagnetic spectrum as the electric field increases. The spectral anticrossing is induced by the atomic core effect. The Stark spectrum also shows an obvious nonlinear quadratic behavior when the applied magnetic field varies strongly. All spectra are well explained by the full quantum calculation after taking the quantum defect effects of the channel ns up to nf into account.

Spectral decomposition at a complex laser polarization configuration

We study the role of laser polarization in the diamagnetic spectrum for the transition from the ground state to the highly excited Rydberg states through a single photon absorption. For simplicity, one usually polarizes the irradiation laser to the selected main quantum axis, which is along the applied external electric or magnetic field. The transition selection rule is simply expressed as Am = O, which corresponds to the π transition. When the polarization is circularly polarized around the main axis, the σ＋ or σ- transition occurs, corresponding to the selection rule of △m = 1 or △m = - 1, respectively. A slightly more complex case is that the laser is linearly polarized perpendicular to the main axis. The numerical calculation shows that we can decompose the transition into the sum of σ＋ and σ- transitions, it is noted as the σ transition. For the more complex case in which the laser is linearly polarized with an arbitrary angle with respect to the main axis, we have to decompose the polarization into one along the main axis and the other one perpendicular to the main axis. They correspond to π and σ transitions, respectively. We demonstrate that these transitions in the diamagnetic spectrum and the above spectral decomposition well explain the experimentally observed spectra.

Preliminary Analysis of HL-2A Global Energy Confinement

Energy confinement time taken from 135 discharges of the 2006 campaign in HL-2A is studied. The data obtained from the measurements are verified by comparing diamagnetic energy with the electronic kinetic energy calculated from both the electron temperature and density profiles. Two data sets for supporting the ITER L-Mode confinement database are generated from the 2006 campaign. The dependence of TE on the line-averaged electron density during ohmic phases is analysed. The comparison of TE in electron cyclotron resonance heating （ECRH） plasma as well as the existing ITER L-mode scalings is made. The results show that the energy confinement time is consistent with the ITER L-mode scalings.

An effective quantum defect theory for the diamagnetic spectrum of a barium Rydberg atom

A theoretical calculation is carried out to investigate the spectrum of a barium Rydberg atom in an external magnetic field. Using an effective approach incorporating quantum defect into the centrifugal term in the Hamiltonian, we reexamine the reported spectrum of the barium Rydberg atom in a magnetic field of 2.89 T [J. Phys. B 28 L537 （1995）]. Our calculation employs B-spline basis expansion and complex coordinate rotation techniques. For single photon absorption from the ground 6s2 to 6snp Rydberg states, the spectrum is not influenced by quantum defects of channels ns and nd. The calculation is in agreement with the experimental observations until the energy reaches E = -60 cm-1. Beyond this energy, closer to the threshold, the calculated and experimental results do not agree with each other. Possible reasons for their discrepancies are discussed. Our study affirms an energy range where the diamagnetic spectrum of the barium atom can be explained thoroughly using a hydrogen model potential.

Numerical linear analysis of the effects of diamagnetic and shear flow on ballooning modes

The linear analysis of the influence of diamagnetic effect and toroidal rotation at the edge of tokamak plasmas with BOUT++ is discussed in this paper. This analysis is done by solving the dispersion relation, which is calculated through the numerical integration of the terms with different physics. This method is able to reveal the contributions of the different terms to the total growth rate. The diamagnetic effect stabilizes the ideal ballooning modes through inhibiting the contribution of curvature. The toroidal rotation effect is also able to suppress the curvaturedriving term, and the stronger shearing rate leads to a stronger stabilization effect. In addition,through linear analysis using the energy form, the curvature-driving term provides the free energy absorbed by the line-bending term, diamagnetic term and convective term.

Exact quantum defect theory approach for lithium in magnetic fields

We calculate the diamagnetic spectrum of lithium at highly excited states up to the positive energy range using the exact quantum defect theory approach. The concerned excitation is one-photon transition from the ground state 2s to the highly excited states np with π and σ polarizations respectively. Lithium has a small quantum defect value 0.05 for the np states, and its diamagnetic spectrum is very similar to that of hydrogen in the energy range approaching the ionization limit. However, a careful calculation shows that the spectrum has a significant discrepancy with that of hydrogen when the energy is lower than -70 cm-1. The effect of the quantum defect is also discussed for the Stark spectrum. It is found that the σ transition to the np states in an electric field has a similar behavior to that of hydrogen due to zero interaction with channel ns.

Diamagnetic Behavior in Nanoparticle Hematite?

A paper by Mi et al. [1] suggested that certain nano-sized hematite (α-Fe2O3) particles had diamagnetic properties at room temperature. Since diamagnetic behavior is not a property normally attributed to hematite particles (hematite is generally regarded as a canted antiferromagnetic material at room temperature) we decided to test the validity of the suggestions in [1] by performing magnetic susceptibility and magnetic hysteresis measurements on a series of hematite nanoparticles with average sizes of 8 nm, 30 nm and 40 nm in diameter. We initially considered two possible explanations for the apparent diamagnetic behavior of the nanoparticles in [1]: either 1) the hematite nanoparticles themselves exhibited this unusual diamagnetic behavior, or 2) the diamagnetic response was simply the signal created by a diamagnetic dispersant that was overriding a weak positive magnetic susceptibility signal of the hematite nanoparticles. Our experiments strongly suggested the latter explanation that the apparent “diamagnetic” behavior seen in [1] was caused by a diamagnetic dispersant dominating the magnetic properties of the dispersed hematite nanoparticles.

Impact of drifts in edge plasma of small size divertor tokamak

The effect of poloidal E × B and diamagnetic drifts in edge plasma of Small Size Divertor (SSD) Tokamak is studied with two-dimensional B2SO- LPS-0.5.2D fluid transport code. The simulation results show the following: 1) For normal toroidal magnetic field, the increasing of core plasma density leads to large divertor asymmetries due to poloidal E × B and diamagnetic drifts. 2) Switching on the E × B and diamagnetic drifts leads to large change in poloidal distribution of radial electric field and induced counter-clockwise circulation (flow) around the x-point. 3) Switching on the E × B and diamagnetic drifts leads to the structure of poloidal distribution of radial electric field is nonmonotonic which responsible for negative spikes. 4) Switching on the E × B and diamagnetic drifts in vicinity of separatrix leads to the structure of poloidal distribution of radial electric field that has viscous layer. 5) Switching on the E × B and diamagnetic drifts results in torque generation. This torque spins up the toroidal rotation. 6) The E × B drift velocity depends on the plasma temperature heating and doesn't depend on plasma density.

Characterization, XPS and Toxicological Study of Organothallium (III) Compounds with Schiff Base Ligands

Many Organothallium Compounds have been used in medicine, industry and antibacterial activity. Optical properties are among the most fascinating and useful properties of many complexes and have been extensively studied using a variety of optical spectroscopic techniques. A basic understanding of the optical properties and related spectroscopic techniques is essential for characterization about semiconductors, insulators or metal. Optical properties are related to other properties and functionalities (e.g. electronic, magnetic, and thermal) that are of fundamental importance to many technological applications, such as energy conversion, chemical analysis, biomedicine, opto-electronics, communication, and radiation detection. The fundamental importance of Thallium is the ability to accept electrons due to empty d-orbitals and thus establish additional bonds (σ bond and π bond) in chemistry. The Thallium metal, which has outer electronic configuration 6 s2, 6 p1 shows oxidation states of Thallium (III) and Thallium (I). This research paper explains that Thallium (III) and Thallium (I) accepts lone pairs from various bi-dentate tetra-dentate Schiff base ligands due to p-orbital and vacant d-orbital. This research paper explains the Characterization, XPS and Toxicological Study of Or- ganothallium (III) Compounds with Schiff base ligands by physiochemical technique. X-Ray photoelectron spectrogra- phy (XPS) study of Thallium (III) complexes with Schiff Base ligands also reported in this paper. XPS study shows a single symmetrical peak without any splitting in photoelectron peak, which confirms diamagnetic nature of all prepared molecular adducts. All prepared complexes with Schiff base ligands show toxicological effect.

Synthesis and characteristics of transparent Gd_(2)O_(3)ceramics with cubic structure

Transparent Gd_(2)O_(3)ceramics with a cubic crystal structure were successfully synthesized for the first time.The Gd_(2)O_(3)ceramics subjected to hot isostatic press(HIP)at 1070℃consisted of uniform grains of 2-3μm,and only a few residual pores could be detected inside the materials.X-ray diffraction(XRD)shows that the obtained polycrystalline materials have a cubic crystal structure,and the transmission polarized light observation shows that there is no birefringence inside the materials,indicating inherent optical properties of the cubic crystal structure.The optical absorption edge is 640 nm(optical band gap:2.1 eV),and the transmittance in the visible to near-infrared region is 72%,which is close to the theoretical transmittance calculated from Fresnel loss.Verdet constant of this material is almost wavelength-independent,and it is diamagnetic since it has the opposite polarity to that of common paramagnetic materials.
