Magnetically Induced Currents in [n]Cycloparaphenylenes,n= 6−11

How does relativity affect magnetically induced currents?

Magnetically induced probability currents in molecules are studied in relativistic theory. Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) enhances the curvature and gives rise to a previously unobserved current cusp in AuH or small bulge-like distortions in HgH2 at the proton positions. The origin of this curvature is magnetically induced spin-density arising from SOC in the relativistic description.

Hydrogen-bond strengths by magnetically induced currents.

We present here a "non-invasive" computational method to estimate the strength of individual hydrogen bonds using magnetically induced currents. The method is calibrated using H-bonding dimers, and applied on Watson-Crick DNA base pairs and proton wires in carbonic anhydrase.

Magnetically induced thermal rectification.

We consider far from equilibrium heat transport in chaotic billiard chains with noninteracting charged particles in the presence of nonuniform transverse magnetic field. If half of the chain is placed in a strong magnetic field, or if the strength of the magnetic field has a large gradient along the chain, heat current is shown to be asymmetric with respect to exchange of the temperatures of th...

Magnetically Induced Plasma Rotation

The extensively studied and controversial question about the origin of the observed fast rotation for magnetically confined plasmas, in particular theta pinches, is briefly reviewed. It is shown that standard MHD equations predict the experimentally observed rotation. The effect is interpreted as a form of the Einstein-de Haas effect. The generally accepted continuum plasma reasoning which deni...
