The most interesting thermonuclear reactions, including hydrogen burning by the CNO cycle and helium burning by the triple alpha reaction, are investigated on the surface ofmagnetars. We find that the superstrong magnetic fields can increase the thermonuclear reaction rates by many orders of magnitude. The enhancement may have a dramatic effect on the thermonuclear runaways and bursts on the surfaces of magnetars.展开更多

The total energies, electron detachment energies and derivatives of the total energy with respect to the magnetic field are presented as functions of magnetic field over a wide range of field strengths. Compared with the available theoretical data, the accuracy for the energies is enhanced significantly. The field regimes 3 〈 γ 〈 4 and 0.02 〈 γ 〈 0.05, in which the 1^1(-1)6+ and 1^1(-2)^+ states start to become bound, respectively, are also determined based on the calculated electron detachment energies.展开更多

Das and B. Mukhopadhyay proposed that the Chandrasekhar limit of a white dwarf could reach a new high level (2.58M) if a superstrong magnetic field were considered (Das U and Mukhopadhyay B 2013 Phys. Rev. Lett. 110 071102), where the structure of the strongly magnetized white dwarf (SMWD) is calculated in the framework of Newtonian theory (NT). As the SMWD has a far smaller size, in contrast with the usual expectation, we found that there is an obvious general relativistic effect (GRE) in the SMWD. For example, for the SMWD with a one Landau level system, the super-Chandrasekhar mass limit in general relativity (GR) is approximately 16.5% lower than that in NT. More interestingly, the maximal mass of the white dwarf will be first increased when the magnetic field strength keeps on increasing and reaches the maximal value M = 2.48MQ with BD = 391.5. Then if we further increase the magnetic fields, surprisingly, the maximal mass of the white dwarf will decrease when one takes the GRE into account.展开更多

We first recall the properties of the Lee-Wick model and study the properties of soliton solutions, in particular, the stability condition, in terms of the parameters of the model and in terms of the number of fermions N inside the soliton (for very large N) in the presence of strong magnetic fields and uniform rotation. We also calculate the effects of gravity on the stability properties of the soliton stars in the simple approximation of coupling the Newtonian gravitational field to the energy density inside the soliton, treating this as constant throughout. Following Cottingham and Vinh Mau, we also make an analysis at finite temperature and show the possibility of a phase transition which leads to a model with parameters similar to those considered by Lee and his colleagues but in the presence of magnetic fields and rotation. More specifically, the effects of magnetic fields and rotation on the soliton mass and transition temperature are computed explicitly. We finally study the evolution on these magnetized and rotating soliton stars with the temperature from the early universe to the present time.展开更多

It is shown that, as long as the temperature is not zero, the effects of the magnetic field on the thermodynamic quantities of the system contain both oscillatory and non-oscillatory parts. For the non-oscillatory part, compared with the situation of Fermi gas in a weak magnetic field, the influence of the magnetic field on the thermodynamic quantities is not exactly the same. For the oscillatory part, the period and amplitude of the oscillation are all related to the magnetic field. Due to the oscillation, the chemical potential may be greater than Ferim energy of the system, but the oscillation does not affect the thermodynamic stability of the system.展开更多

The total energies, derivatives of the total energy with respect to the magnetic field and ionisation energies are calculated with Hylleraas-like functions in spherical coordinates in low to intermediate fields and Hylleraas Caussian functions in cylindrical coordinates in intermediate to high fields, respectively. In intermediate fields, the total energies and ionisation energies are determined in terms of Hermite interpolation, based on the results obtained with the two above-mentioned basis functions. Calculations show that the current method can produce lower total energies and larger ionisation energies, and make the two ionisation energy curves obtained with the two above-mentioned basis functions join smoothly in intermediate fields. Comparisons are also made with previous works.展开更多

The strong enhancement of the total charge transfer cross section is observed for the projectile energy below 2.0 ke V/u. With the projectile energy increasing, the cross sections will reduce a little and then increase again, compared with those in the field-free case. The cross sections to the states with different magnetic quantum numbers are presented and analyzed where the influence due to Zeeman splitting is obviously found, especially in the low projectile energy region. The comparison with other models is made and the tendency of the cross section varying with the projectile energy is found closer to that from other close coupling models.展开更多

The beam electrons emit genuine laser radiation that propagates only in the axial direction through free-electron two- quantum Stark radiation. We find that laser radiation takes place only at the expense of the axial kinetic energy when Aw 〈〈 c/(ωc/γ), where ωc/γ is the relativistic electron--cyclotron frequency. We formulate the laser power based on quantum-wiggler electrodynamics, and envision a laser of length lore with estimated power 0.1 GW/(kA) in the 10-4 cm wavelength range.展开更多

Its effects on the solidification structure of eutectic Al-Si alloy have been investigated experimentally. It is found that the eutectic structure has been refined by solely imposing high magnetic field while it is coarsened under the electromagnetic vibration. Furthermore, polyhedral Si grains and non-dendritic α-Al appeared when the electromagnetic vibration strength was strong enough. The refining of eutectic structure is attributed to the decrease of diffusion coefficient caused by the strong magnetic field. The coarseness of eutectic structure may be attributed to the convection caused by electromagnetic vibration. Strong convection may break co-operative growth of eutectic phases to form polyhedral Si grains and non-dendritic α-Al.展开更多

A 40 kV pulsed power system delivered a fast (-230 ns), 55 kA current pulse into a single-turn coil surrounding the laser target, using a capacitor bank of 200 nF, a laser-triggered switch and a low-impedance strip transmission line. A one-dimensional uniform 7 T pulsed magnetic field was created using a Helmholtz coil pair with a 6 mm diameter. The pulsed magnetic field was controlled to take effect synchronously with a nanosecond heating laser beam, a femtosecond probing laser beam and an optical Intensified Charge Coupled Device (ICCD) detector. The preliminary experiments demonstrate bifurcation and focusing of plasma expansion in a transverse magnetic field.展开更多

In general, we find its result is equivalent to other methods and this new method is more convenient,especially when one evaluates the contribution from the infinitesimal imaginary term of the fermion propagator. Using the Eigenstate Method we try to discuss whether the infinitesimal imaginary frequency of the fermion propagator in a strong magnetic field and Lorentz-violating extension of the minimal SU(3)×SU(2)×SU(1) Standard Model could have a significant influence on the dynamical mass. When the imaginary term of the fermion propagator in this model is not trivial(√(α-1)eB/3) 〈 σ 〈(√(α-1)2eB/3), this model gives a correction to the dynamical mass.When one does not consider the influence from the imaginary term(σ 〉√(α-1)2eB/3), there is another correction from the conventional term. Under both circumstances, chiral symmetry is broken.展开更多

文摘The Eigenstate Method has been developed to deduce the fermion propagator with a constant external magnetic field. In general, we find its result is equivalent to other methods and this new method is more convenient,especially when one evaluates the contribution from the infinitesimal imaginary term of the fermion propagator. Using the Eigenstate Method we try to discuss whether the infinitesimal imaginary frequency of the fermion propagator in a strong magnetic field and Lorentz-violating extension of the minimal SU(3)×SU(2)×SU(1) Standard Model could have a significant influence on the dynamical mass. When the imaginary term of the fermion propagator in this model is not trivial(√(α-1)eB/3) 〈 σ 〈(√(α-1)2eB/3), this model gives a correction to the dynamical mass.When one does not consider the influence from the imaginary term(σ 〉√(α-1)2eB/3), there is another correction from the conventional term. Under both circumstances, chiral symmetry is broken.
