We attempted the first measurement of the spectral width of the nickel-like molybdenum x-ray laser (${\lambda}\;=\;18.895\;nm$) by use of a high-resolution spectrometer in order to determine the strength of the magnetic field required for the generation of a circularly polarized x-ray laser. The spectral width was measured to be ${\Delta}{\lambda}\;=\;18\;m{\AA}$ under the substantial lasing condition. The magnetic field required for the generation of a circularly polarized x-ray laser was 40 T. The splitting of the x-ray laser line was clearly obtained under 15 T external magnetic field. The strength of the magnetic field estimated from the splitting of the x-ray laser line was large compared with the external magnetic field. It implies that there might be an alternative mechanism for enhancement of the magnetic field in the gain medium plasma.

We have intensively examined the structure of photospheric magnetic fields obtained from the calculation of the polarized radiation transfer for the model atmosphere. To determine more reliable magnetic field in the photospheric region composed of umbra, penumbra and quite area, we have calculated the polarized radiative transfer for a magnetically sensitive spectral line, FeI $6302.5{\AA}$, using our composite model representing three kinds of the atmospheric area distinguished by the pixel value of the Stokes I image over the region. Polarization data of the full Stokes parameters, used in this paper had been obtained from the vector magnetograph on Solar Flare Telescope of National Astronomical Observatory at Mitaka(MTK) in Japan. According to our investigation on the active region in the photosphere, it has been found that the large current density(${\geq}8{\times}10^2A/km^2$) and shear angle(${\geq}85^{\circ}$) should be distributed along the magnetic neutral line. To be compared with the results of MTK, our results in transverse magnetic field strength and direction are similar with those of MTK, however our longitudinal field strength at the center of the spot is somewhat(${\sim}1000$ Gauss) larger than MTK.

Observations show that the accretion flows in low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs) probably have a two-component structure with an inner hot, optically thin, advection dominated accretion flow (ADAF) and an outer truncated cool, optically thick accretion disk. As shown by Taam et al. (2012), within the framework of the disk evaporation model, the truncation radius as a function of mass accretion rate is strongly affected by including the magnetic field. We define the parameter ${\beta}$ as $p_m=B^2/8{\pi}=(1-{\beta})p_{tot}$, (where $p_{tot}=p_{gas}+p_m$, $p_{gas}$ is gas pressure and $p_m$ is magnetic pressure) to describe the strength of the magnetic field in accretion flows. It is found that an increase of the magnetic field (decreasing the value of ${\beta}$) results in a smaller truncation radius for the accretion disk. We calculate the emergent spectrum of an inner ADAF + an outer truncated accretion disk around a supermassive black hole by considering the effects of the magnetic field on the truncation radius of the accretion disk. By comparing with observations, we found that a weaker magnetic field (corresponding to a bigger value of ${\beta}$) is required to match the observed correlation between $L_{2-10keV}/L_{Edd}$ and the bolometric correction $k_{2-10keV}$, which is consistent with the physics of the accretion flow with a low mass accretion rate around a black hole.

This study used fowl sperm from three White Leghom rooster reared at our laboratory. Semen samples were exposed to the magnetic field strengths of from 650 to 5700 Gauss for one. two, or three days to investigate the influence of magnetic field on the orientation of fowl spermatozoa. Fowl spermatozoa were found to orient with their long axis of heads perpendicular to the magnetic field direction. The fowl spermatozoa were initially influenced when magnetic field intensities were from 650 to 5700 Gauss and the highest values (70.67, 72.49 and 71.79%) were found in the 5700 Gauss treatment at one, two, and three days exposure, respectively. Although percentages of the perpendicular oriented fowl spermatozoa increased along with the enhancement of the magnetic field intensity, the degree of orientation was only significantly higher in the treatments having the magnetic field strength from 1500 to 5700 Gauss than that in the control treatment at all exposure time. In addition, the experimental results also showed that the percentages of all orientational types of fowl spermatozoa (perpendicular category including upward perpendicular and downward perpendicular and parallel type consisting of leftward parallel and rightward parallel) in all treatments tended to be stable during exposure time. From the results of this study. it is suggested that (1) the diamagnetic anisotropy of the inside structural components of fowl spermatozoa induce them to orient perpendicular to the magnetic field direction, (2) the degree of orientation increased according to the enhancement of magnetic field strengths, (3) fowl spermatozoa had not an high sensitivity to the magnetic field, and the level of perpendicular orientation of fowl spermatozoa in this study is nearly similar to that of cattle sperm in the study of Suga et al. (2000).

The effect of electric current pulses on a sub-100 nm magnetic bubble state in a symmetric Pt/Co multilayer was directly observed using a full-field transmission soft X-ray microscope (MTXM). Field-induced evolution of the magnetic stripe domains into isolated bubbles with their sizes down to 100 nm was imaged under varying external magnetic fields. Electric current pulses were then applied to the created magnetic bubbles, and it was observed that the bubbles could be either created or annihilated by the current pulse depending on the strength of applied magnetic field. The results suggest that the Joule heating plays a critical role in the formation and/or elimination of the bubbles and skyrmions. Finally, the schematic phase diagram for the creation and annihilation of bubbles is presented, suggesting an optimized scheme with the combination of magnetic field and electric current necessary to utilize skyrmions in the practical devices.

In this study we use three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations of flux emergence from solar subsurface layer to corona. In order to study the twist parameter of magnetic field we compare the simulations for strongly twisted and weakly twisted cases. Based on the results, we derive a flux expansion factor of selected flux tubes which is a ratio of expanded cross section to the one measured at the footpoint of the flux tube. To understand the effect of flux expansion factor, we make a comparison between magnetic field configuration and the expansion factor. By using a fitting function of hyperbolic tangent we derive noticeable correlations among the strength of the vertical magnetic field, current density and expansion factor. We discuss what these results tell about the relationship between the twist of emerging field and the mechanism for the solar wind.

This paper is described the analysis of time-varying low-frequency electric magnetic field emitted from electric rolling stocks fed by VVVF inverter, in reference to allowable magnitude for exposures to time-varying electromagnetic field issued by International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection(ICNIRP). The level of the magnetic field strength was measured, in reference to the standard for occupational environments, which takes into account the public person's protection against the excessive emission of the low-frequency magnetic field, 5 Hz ~ 2 kHz.

Electromagnetic Pulse Forming is the one of the high velocity forming method. When the electric energy which is charged in the capacitor bank is suddenly discharged into the electromagnetic coil, the high magnetic field occurs at the airgap between the electromagnetic coil and workpiece. Thus we can obtain the high electromagnetic pressure, which is proportional to the square of magnetic flux density. This is the basic principle of the electromagnetic pulse forming. In this paper, the equivalent L-R-C circuit is derived by computing the magnetic field and its loss of the total system. Thus, the values of the magnetic flux density and pressure can be obtained from the equation of this circuit. As a result, the computed and measured values of the maximum magnetic flux density and pressure are compared and the characteristics of the tapered field shaper are further discussed as follows; 1) The strength of magnetic flux density and pressure can be controlled by the charged energy and the size of the airgap between the inner field shaper and the workpiece. 2) During the design of the tapered field shaper, the penetration of the magnetic flux through the sharp edge should be considered.

The effects of a magnetic field on the germination rate and on chloroplast formation of broccoli were investigated. As a result, germination rate and the growth of broccoli were in the order of experimental group B > experimental group A > control group C. Also, the fluorescence and the amounts of chloroplasts in broccoli were in the order of experimental group A > control group C > experimental group B. Thus, the germination rate and the growth of broccoli depended on the magnetic field and magnetic field treatment can be seen to help chloroplast production and plants development, but the magnetic field can have a more positive effect if its strength is within an appropriate range.

Heart consists of myocardium cells and the electrophysiological activity of the cells generate magnetic fields. By measuring this magnetic field, magnetocardiogram (MCG), functional diagnosis of the heart diseases is possible. Since the strength of the MCG signals is weak, typically in the range of 1-10 pT, we need sensitive magnetic sensors. Conventionally, superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUID)s were used for the detection of MCG signals due to its superior sensitivity to other magnetic sensors. However, drawback of the SQUID is the need for regular refill of a cryogenic liquid, typically liquid helium for cooling low-temperature SQUIDs. Efforts to eliminate the need for the refill in the SQUID system have been done by using cryocooler-based conduction cooling or use of non-cryogenic sensors, or room-temperature sensors. Each sensor has advantage and disadvantage, in terms of magnetic field sensitivity and complexity of the system, and we review the recent trend of MCG technology.
