Magnetic Reconnection: MHD Theory and Applications

Magnetic reconnection is on the middle of many dynamic phenomena within the universe, akin to sunlight flares, geomagnetic substorms and tokamak disruptions. Written through global leaders at the topic, this quantity offers a complete review of this primary technique. assurance offers either a pedagogical account of the elemental idea and a wide-ranging assessment of the actual phenomena created through reconnection--from laboratory machines, the Earth's magnetosphere, and the Sun's surroundings to flare stars and astrophysical accretion disks.

Another example is the compound CsAu (B2 (cP2)) in which both components are monovalent. However, the great difference in electronegativity and significant separation in energy of 6s2 and 6s6p configurations for Au~ leads to the existence of semiconducting behavior in CsAu, in which the highest filled band is based on 6s2 electrons on Au atoms, while the conduction band derived from the 6s state on Cs atoms is empty (Coles, 1986). The effect of stoichiometry on the electrical resistivity was investigated by Ikeda and Nakamichi (1975) in a series of Laves phases of Fe2A (A = Sc, Y, Nb, Ta, Ti, Zr, Hf, and U).

The second term is temperature-dependent and known variously as the * ideal', the intrinsic, the lattice or the phonon resistivity. At low temperatures this part is, in general, proportional to T5, but is linear at higher temperatures. The third part of the equation, usually called the 'residual' resistivity, arises from the electron scattering by lattice imperfections and is generally independent of temperature. Although Matthiessen's rule gives good agreement with experimental data, particularly at higher temperatures, there is increasing evidence that the rule is not strictly valid.

Although the specific mechanism for the observed grain-boundary hardening in these systems is not clear, it is believed that it is the result of a concentration of oxygen and/or nitrogen at or near the grain boundary. It has also been shown that the effect can be modified by ternary solute additions and, to some extent, by appropriate annealing treatment. , 1964). According to this model, the hardening at grain boundaries results from the dissociation of oxygenvacancy complexes in the vicinity of grain boundaries or free surfaces; hence the gradient range reflects a kinetic effect.
