Paleomagnetic studies of a meteorite from asteroid Vesta reveal remanent
magnetization produced by an ancient core dynamo.
Not exact matches
Specifically, the team found that the angrites» remnant
magnetization could have been
produced by an extremely weak magnetic field of no more than 0.6 microteslas, 4.563 billion years ago, or, about 4 million years after the start of the solar system.
In the experiment researchers discovered an unexpected effect: when
magnetization directions in two ferromagnetic layers were not parallel, the interaction between these layers and superconductive layer
produced induced
magnetization in the gold layer, «overjumping» the superconductor.
The spin and orbital motion gives rise to the
magnetization, similar to an electric current circulating in a coil and
producing a magnetic field.
One way to
produce rapid changes of strain on the subnanosecond scale and, thus, induce
magnetization changes is by using surface acoustic waves (SAWs), which are deformation (strain) waves.
