Functionalizing magnet additive manufacturing with in-situ magnetic field source

Additive manufacturing via 3-D printing technologies have become a frontier in materials research, including its application in the development and recycling of permanent magnets. This work addresses the opportunity to integrate magnetic field sources into 3-D printing process in order to enable printing, alignment of anisotropic permanent magnets or magnetizing of magnetic filler materials, without requiring further processing. Specifically, a nonaxisymmetric electromagnet-type field source architecture was designed, modelled, constructed, installed to a fused filament commercial 3-D printer, and tested. The testing was performed by applying magnetic field while printing composite anisotropic Nd-Fe-B + Sm-Fe-N powders bonded in Nylon12 (65 vol.%) and recycled Sm-Co powder bonded in PLA (15 vol.%). Magnetic characterization indicated that the degree-of-alignment of the magnet powders increased both with alignment field strength (controlled by the electric current applied to the magnetizing system) and the printing temperature. Both coercivity and remanence were found to be strongly dependent on the degree-of-alignment, except for printing performed below but near the Curie temperature of Nd-Fe-B (310 ° C). At applied field of 0.15 kOe, Sm-Co and hybrid Nd-Fe-B/Sm-Fe-N printed samples showed degrees-of-alignment of 83 % and 65 %, respectively. The variations in coercivity were consistent with previous observations in bonded magnet materials. This work verifies that integration of magnetic field sources into 3-D printing processes will result in magnetic alignment of particles while ensuring that other advantages of 3-D printing are retained.

A scalable framework for quantifying field-level agricultural carbon outcomes

Agriculture contributes nearly a quarter of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, which is motivating interest in adopting certain farming practices that have the potential to reduce GHG emissions or sequester carbon in soil. The related GHG emission (including N 2 O and CH 4 ) and changes in soil carbon stock are defined here as “agricultural carbon outcomes”. Accurate quantification of agricultural carbon outcomes is the basis for achieving emission reductions for agriculture, but existing approaches for measuring carbon outcomes (including direct measurements, emission factors, and process-based modeling) fall short of achieving the required accuracy and scalability necessary to support credible, verifiable, and cost-effective measurement and improvement of these carbon outcomes. Here we propose a foundational and scalable framework to quantify field-level carbon outcomes for farmland, which is based on the holistic carbon balance of the agroecosystem: Agroecosystem Carbon Outcomes = Environment (E) × Management (M) × Crop (C). Following a comprehensive review of the scientific challenges associated with existing approaches, as well as their tradeoffs between cost and accuracy, we propose that the most viable path for the quantification of field-level carbon outcomes in agricultural land is through an effective integration of various approaches (e.g. diverse observations, sensor/in-situ data, and modeling), defined as the “System-of-Systems” solution. Such a “System-of-Systems” solution should simultaneously comprise the following components: (1) scalable collection of ground truth data and cross-scale sensing of environment variables (E), management practices (M), and crop conditions (C) at the local field level; (2) advanced modeling with necessary processes to support the quantification of carbon outcomes; (3) systematic Model-Data Fusion (MDF), i.e. robust and efficient methods to integrate sensing data and models at each local farmland level; (4) high computation efficiency and artificial intelligence (AI) to scale to millions of individual fields with low cost; and (5) robust and multi-tier validation systems and infrastructures to ensure solution fidelity and true scalability, i.e. the ability of a solution to perform robustly with accepted accuracy on all targeted fields. In this regard, we provide here the detailed scientific rationale, current progress, and future research and development (R&D) priorities to achieve different components of the “System-of-Systems” solution, thus accomplishing the Environment×Management×Crop framework to quantify field-level agricultural carbon outcomes.

Development of rare-earth-free bulk magnets with energy product up to 12 MGOe in field annealed Mn–Bi–Mg–In–Sb alloys

A treatment consisting of annealing in a moderately strong, ≤30 kOe, magnetic field was applied to arc-melted ingots and compacted melt-spun alloys with composition Mn 50 Bi 50-x-y-z Mg x In y Sb z . The high degree of texture of the magnetic α phase induced with annealing of the ingot samples (except the Mn–Bi–Sb one) allowed for accurate determination of the phase anisotropy field. Alloying was found to increase the anisotropy field from 45 kOe in the Mn 50 Bi 50 alloy to 65 kOe in the Mn 50 Bi 45 Mg 3 In 0.5 Sb 1.5 alloy. In the compacted melt-spun alloys subjected to field annealing, a higher degree of texture could be achieved after compaction which had involved less heating, when a smaller fraction of the metastable β' phase had been converted into the α phase; compaction at room temperature allowed for the highest degree of texture in the Mn 50 Bi 45 Mg 3 In 0.5 Sb 1.5 magnet. The addition of indium was found to decrease the solidus temperatures of the alloys, facilitating the development of the α phase during the field annealing and modifying the properties of the resulting magnets. Introduction of indium resulted in a higher coercivity H c of the Mn–Bi–Mg–In magnets and in a better texture of the Mn–Bi–Mg–Sn–In magnets. The former effect allowed, in particular, for a viable maximum energy product ( BH ) max of 10 MGOe to be developed in the Mn 50 Bi 46.5 Mg 3 In 0.5 magnet through annealing in a relatively low field of 15 kOe, whereas the latter effect allowed for an excellent combination of ( BH ) max = 11.6 MGOe and H c = 8.5 kOe in the Mn 50 Bi 45 Mg 3 In 0.5 Sb 1.5 magnet. The highest ( BH ) max of 12 MGOe was realized in the Mn 50 Bi 46 Mg 3 In 0.5 Sb 0.5 magnet.

Spin polarization induced by magnetic field and the relativistic Barnett effect

First, I study the analogy between the magnetization of a material and the spin polarization of particles in a fluid. Using the relativistic version of the Barnett effect, i.e. the magnetization of a material induced by mechanical rotation, the spin polarization induced by thermal vorticity is obtained within a purely classical model, where spin is treated as an intrinsic magnetic moment and rotation is included as a non-inertial effect. I argue that since spin polarization induced by thermal vorticity can be obtained in a classical theory, it can not be dominated by quantum anomalies. Second, the spin polarization induced by magnetic field is obtained for a fluid at local thermal equilibrium using statistical quantum field theory. The obtained formula is valid beyond the weak field approximation and when contributions from the non-homogeneity of the magnetic field are small. The exact form of spin polarization is studied for a free Dirac field at global equilibrium, and, like magnetic susceptibility, it oscillates according to the de Haas - van Alphen effect. Finally, I briefly review how magnetic field contributes to the difference between the spin polarization of Λ and $\barΛ$ observed in heavy-ion collisions.

Measurement of optically-pumped electron spin polarization in n-GaAs at high external electric fields

We use the technique of time-resolved Kerr rotation (TRKR) to measure the electron spin polarization generated by optical spin pumping in an n-type gallium arsenide (GaAs) epilayer when an external electric field is simultaneously applied on the sample. The drift of the electron spins under the influence of the external electric field is captured with spatial scans of the pump–probe separation. A significant decay in the magnitude of electron spin polarization with electric field is observed and is attributed to the increased inhomogeneous broadening caused by the field-induced drift and the hot electron effects. Here, we extend the electric field range to as high as the Gunn threshold field in the measurement and we do not observe a spin amplification effect due to the spin Gunn effect under our experimental scheme.

Towards critical and supercritical electromagnetic fields

Abstract The availability of ever stronger, laser-generated electromagnetic fields underpins continuing progress in the study and application of nonlinear phenomena in basic physical systems, ranging from molecules and atoms to relativistic plasmas and quantum electrodynamics. This raises the question: how far will we be able to go with future lasers? One exciting prospect is the attainment of field strengths approaching the Schwinger critical field ${E}_{\mathrm{cr}}$ in the laboratory frame, such that the field invariant ${E}^2-{c}^2{B}^2>{E}_{\mathrm{cr}}^2$ is reached. The feasibility of doing so has been questioned, on the basis that cascade generation of dense electron–positron plasma would inevitably lead to absorption or screening of the incident light. Here we discuss the potential for future lasers to overcome such obstacles, by combining the concept of multiple colliding laser pulses with that of frequency upshifting via a tailored laser–plasma interaction. This compresses the electromagnetic field energy into a region of nanometre size and attosecond duration, which increases the field magnitude at fixed power but also suppresses pair cascades. Our results indicate that laser facilities with peak power of tens of PW could be capable of reaching ${E}_{\mathrm{cr}}$ . Such a scenario opens up prospects for the experimental investigation of phenomena previously considered to occur only in the most extreme environments in the universe.

An adjoint method for determining the sensitivity of island size to magnetic field variations

An adjoint method to calculate the gradient of island width in stellarators is presented and applied to a set of magnetic field configurations. The underlying method for calculation of the island width is that of Cary & Hanson ( Phys. Fluids B, vol. 3, issue 4, 1991, pp. 1006–1014) (with a minor modification), and requires that the residue of the island centre be small. Therefore, the gradient of the residue is calculated in addition. Both the island width and the gradient calculations are verified using an analytical magnetic field configuration introduced by Reiman & Greenside ( Comput. Phys. Commun. , vol. 43, issue 1, 1986, pp. 157–167). The method is also applied to the calculation of the shape gradient of the width of a magnetic island in a National Compact Stellarator Experiment (NCSX) vacuum configuration with respect to positions on a coil. A gradient-based optimization is applied to a magnetic field configuration studied by Hanson & Cary ( Phys. Fluids , vol. 27, issue 4, 1984, pp. 767–769) to minimize stochasticity by adding perturbations to a pair of helical coils. Although only vacuum magnetic fields and an analytical magnetic field model are considered in this work, the adjoint calculation of the island width gradient could also be applied to a magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equilibrium if the derivative of the magnetic field, with respect to the equilibrium parameters, is known. Using the island width gradient calculation presented here, more general gradient-based optimization methods can be applied to design stellarators with small magnetic islands. Moreover, the sensitivity of the island size may itself be optimized to ensure that coil tolerances, with respect to island size, are kept as high as possible.

On heat conduction in an irregular magnetic field. Part 1

Anisotropic heat conduction in a plasma embedded in a magnetic field with irregular, possibly chaotic, field lines is discussed. If the collisional mean free path exceeds the electron gyroradius, the heat conductivity is much larger along the field lines than across them, and this enhances the transport across a domain where good flux surfaces do not exist. Recognising that anisotropic heat conduction may be cast in a variational form, and by constructing increasingly sophisticated trial functions that are based on invariant and almost-invariant structures under the magnetic field-line flow, bounds are derived on this enhancement and on the temperature variation along the magnetic field. In this way, remarkably accurate approximations for the temperature can be rapidly constructed without solving the diffusion equation, even in the small perpendicular-diffusion limit when the solution for the temperature is dominated by the fractal structure the magnetic field lines.

Mean-field dynamo as a quantum-like modulational instability

Presented here is a novel formulation of the mean-field dynamo as a modulational instability of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. This formulation, termed mean-field wave kinetics (MFWK), is based on the Weyl symbol calculus and allows describing the interaction between the mean fields (magnetic field and fluid velocity) and turbulence without requiring scale separation that is commonly assumed in the literature. The turbulence is described by the Wigner–Moyal equation for the spectrum of the two-point correlation matrix (Wigner matrix) of magnetic-field and velocity fluctuations and depicts the turbulence as an effective plasma of quantum-like particles that interact via the mean fields. Eddy–eddy interactions, which serve as ‘collisions’ in this effective plasma, are modelled within the standard minimal tau approximation to aid comparison with existing theories. Using MFWK, the non-local electromotive force is calculated for generic turbulence from first principles, modulo the limitations of MFWK. This result is then used to study, both analytically and numerically, the modulational modes of MHD turbulence, which appear as linear instabilities of the said effective quantum-like plasma of fluctuations. The standard α 2 -dynamo and other known results are reproduced as special cases. A new dynamo effect is predicted that is driven by correlations between the turbulent flow velocity and the turbulent current.

Relaxor Ferroelectric-Like Spatiotemporal Memory in Field-Driven Lipid Bilayers

Lipid membranes are often regarded as passive barriers, yet their nonlinear dielectric response remains poorly understood. Using all-atom molecular dynamics, we show that fully hydrated dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine bilayers exhibit relaxor ferroelectric-like behavior under time-dependent electric fields. Unlike crystalline relaxors, which are bipolar and display little remanent polarization, lipid bilayers exhibit a unipolar polarization response: even an alternating current field produces persistent, asymmetric polarization. Furthermore, the underlying free-energy landscape contains two distinct minima, a nonpolarized state and a unipolarly polarized state, between which stochastic thermally activated transitions occur. Directionally resolved Van Hove analysis reveals pronounced anisotropy arising from out-of-plane electric dipole alignment, interleaflet coupling, and lateral polarization domains. Each field cycle nucleates polarization at distinct sites and monitors their relaxation, marking a crossover from thermal fluctuations to field-sustained polarization. Remarkably, these polarized domains persist after field removal, generating long-lived, spatially coherent dipolar patterns that encode nanoscale polarization memory. Potassium chloride amplifies these effects via dielectric screening and a modified hydration structure, enhancing electric dipole flexibility and cooperativity. Together, these results establish protein-free bilayers as nonlinear, history-dependent dielectrics capable of sustaining field-tunable electromechanical coupling, providing an emergent physical foundation for nanoscale information storage and memory phenomena reminiscent of short- and long-term plasticity in soft neuromorphic systems.

Visualizing Electric and Magnetic Field Coupling in Au-Nanorod Trimer Structures via Stimulated Electron Energy Gain and Cathodoluminescence Spectroscopy: Implications for Meta-Atom Imaging

In this work, trimer meta-atoms composed of three gold rods in an equilateral triangular geometry were fabricated, and their near-field plasmonic responses were characterized via electron energy loss (EEL), cathodoluminescence (CL), and stimulated electron energy loss/gain (sEEL/sEEG) spectroscopy. The trimer structure hybridizes into a low-energy mode with all three rods coupling in-phase, which produces a circulating current and thus a magnetic field. The next highest-energy mode consists of two rods coupling out-of-phase and produces a net electric dipole. We investigate the near fields of hybridized magnetic and electric modes via EEL and CL and correlate their spectral characteristics and intensity maps. Then, by changing the length of the trimer rods, we tune the magnetic and electric modes to our laser energy and characterize the excited state via sEEL/sEEG spectroscopy. Exploration of the tilt dependence, relative to the optical source, of the two modes reveals that the electric mode sEEG intensity increases more than the expected sin 2 (θ) dependence of the optical electric field coupling (see the Supporting Information for a detailed description). After correcting for the tail of the close-proximity electric mode, we demonstrate sEEG via coupling of the magnetic component of the optical field to the magnetic meta-atoms, which has the expected cos 2 (θ) tilt dependence. This realization opens the possibility to explore the nanoscale excited-state near-field imaging of other magnetic meta-atom structures.

Field-Coupled Water Splitting with Metal-Free Donor–Acceptor Covalent Organic-Framework Junctions

Advancing metal-free electrocatalysts for hydrogen and oxygen evolution reactions (HER/OER) across acidic and alkaline media requires coordinated control of intermediate binding thermodynamics, interfacial charge delivery, and near-electrode transport dynamics. Here, we design amide-linked benzene–triazine covalent organic frameworks (BTA/TzTA-Hz COFs) and integrate them with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) to form COF–CNT junctions that establish a built-in interfacial electric field. Density functional theory (DFT) and electrostatic potential maps indicate complementary active motifs, with benzene-proximal fragments associated with HER and triazine-proximal motifs associated with OER. CNT integration shifts the contact-potential difference by ≈0.20 V, while operando electrochemical impedance spectroscopy suggests partially separable high-frequency junction-charging and lower-frequency Faradaic/transport responses. A 300 mT static magnetic field lowers the HER and OER overpotentials by tens of millivolts. Under anodic bias, the effective interfacial charging capacitance increases, and Mott–Schottky analysis shows an apparent ∼0.15 V flat-band shift with an essentially unchanged slope. Together, these observations are consistent with field-perturbed interfacial charging and altered bias partitioning. Field-dependent impedance and bubble imaging are consistent with magnetohydrodynamic convection that promotes bubble detachment and near-electrode mass transport for both half-reactions, and they reveal an OER-specific high-frequency perturbation under anodic bias. Under field, the heterostructure reaches an OER onset overpotential of ∼261 mV and requires an overpotential of 366 mV at 10 mA cm –2 in alkaline electrolyte. These results illustrate how reticular-framework chemistry, junction engineering, and both built-in and applied fields can program reactivity through interfacial electrostatics and near-electrode transport in organic-framework electrocatalysts.

Density and Magnetic Field Asymmetric Kelvin‐Helmholtz Instability

Abstract The Kelvin‐Helmholtz (KH) instability can transport mass, momentum, magnetic flux, and energy between the magnetosheath and magnetosphere, which plays an important role in the solar‐wind‐magnetosphere coupling process for different planets. Meanwhile, strong density and magnetic field asymmetry are often present between the magnetosheath (MSH) and magnetosphere (MSP), which could affect the transport processes driven by the KH instability. Our magnetohydrodynamics simulation shows that the KH growth rate is insensitive to the density ratio between the MSP and the MSH in the compressible regime, which is different than the prediction from linear incompressible theory. When the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) is parallel to the planet's magnetic field, the nonlinear KH instability can drive a double mid‐latitude reconnection (DMLR) process. The total double reconnected flux depends on the KH wavelength and the strength of the lower magnetic field. When the IMF is anti‐parallel to the planet's magnetic field, the nonlinear interaction between magnetic reconnection and the KH instability leads to fast reconnection (i.e., close to Petschek reconnection even without including kinetic physics). However, the peak value of the reconnection rate still follows the asymmetric reconnection scaling laws. We also demonstrate that the DMLR process driven by the KH instability mixes the plasma from different regions and consequently generates different types of velocity distribution functions. We show that the counter‐streaming beams can be simply generated via the change of the flux tube connection and do not require parallel electric fields.

Electro-optic characterization of synthesized infrared-visible light fields

The measurement and control of light field oscillations enable the study of ultrafast phenomena on sub-cycle time scales. Electro-optic sampling (EOS) is a powerful field characterization approach, in terms of both sensitivity and dynamic range, but it has not reached beyond infrared frequencies. Here, we show the synthesis of a sub-cycle infrared-visible pulse and subsequent complete electric field characterization using EOS. The sampled bandwidth spans from 700 nm to 2700 nm (428 to 110 THz). Tailored electric-field waveforms are generated with a two-channel field synthesizer in the infrared-visible range, with a full-width at half-maximum duration as short as 3.8 fs at a central wavelength of 1.7 µm (176 THz). EOS detection of the complete bandwidth of these waveforms extends it into the visible spectral range. To demonstrate the power of our approach, we use the sub-cycle transients to inject carriers in a thin quartz sample for nonlinear photoconductive field sampling with sub-femtosecond resolution.

Signatures of a magnetic-field-induced Lifshitz transition in the ultra-quantum limit of the topological semimetal ZrTe 5

The quantum limit (QL) of an electron liquid, realised at strong magnetic fields, has long been proposed to host a wealth of strongly correlated states of matter. Electronic states in the QL are, for example, quasi-one dimensional (1D), which implies perfectly nested Fermi surfaces prone to instabilities. Whereas the QL typically requires unreachably strong magnetic fields, the topological semimetal ZrTe 5 has been shown to reach the QL at fields of only a few Tesla. Here, we characterize the QL of ZrTe 5 at fields up to 64 T by a combination of electrical-transport and ultrasound measurements. We find that the Zeeman effect in ZrTe 5 enables an efficient tuning of the 1D Landau band structure with magnetic field. This results in a Lifshitz transition to a 1D Weyl regime in which perfect charge neutrality can be achieved. Since no instability-driven phase transitions destabilise the 1D electron liquid for the investigated field strengths and temperatures, our analysis establishes ZrTe 5 as a thoroughly understood platform for potentially inducing more exotic interaction-driven phases at lower temperatures.

Enhancements of electric field and afterglow of non-equilibrium plasma by Pb(ZrxTi1−x)O3 ferroelectric electrode

Abstract Manipulating surface charge, electric field, and plasma afterglow in a non-equilibrium plasma is critical to control plasma-surface interaction for plasma catalysis and manufacturing. Here, we show enhancements of surface charge, electric field during breakdown, and afterglow by ferroelectric barrier discharge. The results show that the ferroelectrics manifest spontaneous electric polarization to increase the surface charge by two orders of magnitude compared to discharge with an alumina barrier. Time-resolved in-situ electric field measurements reveal that the fast polarization of ferroelectrics enhances the electric field during the breakdown in streamer discharge and doubles the electric field compared to the dielectric barrier discharge. Moreover, due to the existence of surface charge, the ferroelectric electrode extends the afterglow time and makes discharge sustained longer when alternating the external electric field polarity. The present results show that ferroelectric barrier discharge offers a promising technique to tune plasma properties for efficient plasma catalysis and electrified manufacturing.

Limitations of probing field-induced response with STM

The kagome superconductors AV 3 Sb 5 (where A = K, Cs, Rb) exhibit intertwined density waves, unconventional superconductivity and time-reversal symmetry breaking without spin magnetism, with scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) studies reporting, albeit not universally, magnetic-field-dependent changes in the apparent chirality of the 2 × 2 charge density wave (CDW). Related to this, Xing et al. investigated the effects of magnetic and electric fields on the 2 × 2 CDW state and the lattice structure of kagome superconductor RbV3Sb5, reporting a field-induced ~1% change in the in-plane lattice constants, concomitant with the CDW intensity modification, controlled by the field direction. Here we demonstrate how the apparent magnetic field induced lattice and CDW intensity change can be explained as a consequence of two independent experimental artifacts: a reconfiguration of atoms at the STM tip apex that alters the amplitudes of CDW modulations, and piezo creep, hysteresis and thermal drift, which artificially distort STM topographs. Here, we argue that the reported piezomagnetism could be attributed to experimental artifacts rather than an intrinsic magnetic-field-induced change of the sample.

Magnetic-field-induced Wigner crystallization of charged interlayer excitons in van der Waals heterostructures

Abstract Ever since its inception, coherent excited states of semiconductors have been the focus of semiconductor materials research to evolve into a vibrant field of low-dimensional solid-state physics. The field is gaining new momentum these days due to emerging transdimensional semiconductors such as van der Waals bound layers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) of controlled thickness. Here, we develop the theory of magnetic-field-induced Wigner crystallization for charged interlayer excitons (CIE) discovered recently in TMD heterobilayers. We derive the ratio of the potential interaction energy to the kinetic energy for the many-particle CIE system in the perpendicular magnetostatic field of an arbitrary strength and predict the crystallization effect in the strong field regime. We show that magnetic-field-induced Wigner crystallization and melting of CIEs can be observed in magneto-photoluminescence experiments with TMD bilayers of systematically varied electron-hole doping concentrations. Our results advance the capabilities of this new generation of transdimensional quantum materials.
