The National Fusion Collaboratory Project is developing a persistent infrastructure to enable scientific collaboration for all aspects of magnetic fusion energy research by creating a robust, user-friendly collaborative environment and deploying this to the more than one thousand fusion scientists in forty institutions who perform magnetic fusion research in the US. Work specifically focusing o...

Aims. We study the properties of MHD turbulence driven by the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in accretion disks. To do this we perform a series of numerical simulations for which the resolution is gradually increased. Methods. We adopt the local shearing box model and focus on the special case for which the initial magnetic flux threading the disk vanishes. We employ the finite difference ...

We have considered phonon-induced superconductivity on a square lattice. The antiferromagnetic correlations that are present in high-temperature superconductors (HTSC) have been simulated by the staggered magnetic field. The Eliashberg equations have been generalized to account for the momentum dependent order parameter, and the superconducting transition temperature Tc has been evaluated withi...

The effects of the weak magnetic field on the negative ion ( ) extraction in a negative ion source have been studied by means of a two-dimensional electrostatic particle simulation. A particle-in-cell (PIC) model is used which simulates the motion of the charged particles in their self-consistent electric field. Since most electrons are magnetized by the weak magnetic field, it is shown that mo...

A novel method for pinning magnetic domains on pre-formatted pinning sites has been developed for perpendicular magnetic anisotropy magneto-optical (MO) thin film media. The pinning sites were artificial lattices made by patterning a layer of gold grid on the substrate using electron beam lithography. Compared with the work proposed using photolithography, our method showed the ability of makin...

Abstract: In order to realize the high speed and high-precision control of a maglev planar motor, a high-precision electromagnetic model is needed in the first place, which can also contribute to meeting the real-time running requirements. Traditionally, the electromagnetic model is based on analytical calculations. However, this neglects the model simplification and the manufacturing errors, w...

The time-dependent Dirac equation is solved numerically on a space-time grid for an atom in a strong static magnetic field and a laser field. The resonantly induced relativistic motion of the atomic electron leads to a ringlike spatial probability density similar to the features that have been recently predicted @Wagner, Su, and Grobe, Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 3282 ~2000!# based on a phase-space me...

Scott Hogg & Associates Ltd. have completed the development of a 3-axis, helicopter towed, aeromagnetic gradiometer. The towed bird is a complete airborne system with 4 cesium sensors, radar altimeter, pitch, roll and yaw measurement, a 3-axis magnetic fluxgate and a GPS positioning system. The system is designed to provide accurate geo-referenced magnetic gradients; G-east, G-north and Gvertic...

We demonstrate the feasibility of using a nonconforming nite element method on an unstructured grid in solving a magnetospheric physics problem. We use this approach to construct a global discrete model of the magnetic eld of the magnetosphere that includes the eeects of shielding currents at the outer boundary (the magnetopause). As in the approach of 17] the internal magnetospheric eld model ...
