چکیده

mentum effects. It may be that we shall be dtiven to assume that the electron here functions as a dipole (magnetic), evidence for which has already been given by Compton, and that when moving in different directions in the non-isotropic force field of a crystal it assumes different orientations. 1 W.

Does Exposure to Static Magnetic Fields Generated by Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scanners Raise Safety Problems for Personnel?

MRI workers are occupationally exposed to static and time-varying gradient magnetic fields.  While the 24-hour time-averaged exposure to static magnetic fields is about a few mT, the maximum static field strength can be as high as 500 mT during patient setup. Over the past several years, our laboratory has performed extensive experiments on the health effects of exposure of animal models and h...

Faraday Rotation of the Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization and Primordial Magnetic Field Properties

Measurements of the Faraday rotation of the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMBR) polarization could provide evidence for the existence of primordial magnetic fields. The Faraday rotation could also allow the study of some properties of these fields. In this paper, we calculate the angular dependence of the Faraday rotation correlator for different assumptions about the spectral index an...

Optical Polarization from Aligned Atoms as a New Diagnostic of Astrophysical Magnetic Fields

Population of levels of the hyperfine and fine split ground state of an atom is affected by radiative transitions induced by anisotropic radiation flux. Such aligned atoms precess in the external magnetic field and this affects properties of polarized radiation arising from both scattering and absorption by atoms. As the result the degree of light polarization depends on the direction of the ma...

Polarization from Aligned Atoms as a Diagnostics of Circumstellar, Agn and Interstellar Magnetic Fields: Ii. Atoms with Hyperfine Structure

We show that atomic alignment presents a reliable way to study topology of astrophysical magnetic fields. The effect of atomic alignment arises from modulation of the relative population of the sublevels of atomic ground state pumped by anisotropic radiation flux. As such aligned atoms precess in the external magnetic field and this affects the properties of the polarized radiation arising from...

Grain Alignment, Polarization and Magnetic Fields

Aligned non-spherical dust particles polarize starlight passing through the dust cloud. They also emit polarized far infrared and sub-mm radiation. Substantial progress in understanding of grain alignment theory makes the interpretation of the polarized radiation in terms of underlying magnetic fields much more reliable. I discuss a number of fundamental processes that affect grain alignment. I...

Ground-state Alignment of Atoms and Ions: New Diagnostics of Astrophysical Magnetic Field in Diffuse Medium

We discuss a new technique of studying magnetic fields in diffuse astrophysical media, e.g. interstellar and intergalactic gas/plasma. This technique is based on the angular momentum alignment of atoms and ions in their ground or metastable states. As the life-time of atoms in such states is long, the alignment induced by anisotropic radiation is susceptible to weak magnetic fields (1G ∼ > B ∼ ...
