Electron diffusion region and thermal demagnetization

Electron diffusion region and thermal demagnetization

(By measurement we mean all variables of a theoretical relation that determine the length have been quantitatively observed, no ROMs.) The skew above the electron skin depth of the scale length population determined an average scale length of the ‘‘EDRs’’ 80% higher than the upper bound stated in the ‘‘EDR’’ study’s abstract. This situation contributes another average multiplicative enhancement...

Collisionless Reconnection and Electron Demagnetization

Observable, dimensionless properties of the electron diffusion region of collisionless magnetic reconnection are motivated and benchmarked in two and three dimensional Particle In Cell (PIC) simulations as appropriate for measurements with present state of the art spacecraft. The dimensionless quantities of this paper invariably trace their origin to breaking the magnetization of the thermal el...

Ultrafast demagnetization by hot electrons: Diffusion or super-diffusion?

Ultrafast demagnetization of ferromagnetic metals can be achieved by a heat pulse propagating in the electron gas of a non-magnetic metal layer, which absorbs a pump laser pulse. Demagnetization by electronic heating is investigated on samples with different thicknesses of the absorber layer on nickel. This allows us to separate the contribution of thermalized hot electrons compared to non-ther...

Frozen flux violation, electron demagnetization and magnetic reconnection

Thermal demagnetization of Martian upper crust by magma intrusion

[1] The absent or weak magnetic field above large Martian volcanoes may provide constraints on their formation and the carrier of magnetization. We consider the ability of magma intrusions to thermally demagnetize the shallow crust beneath volcanoes through heat conduction and hydrothermal circulation. If magnetization is dominated by magnetite, the volume of crust that is thermally demagnetize...
