This study investigated how exposure to a static magnetic field affects electricity production in Shewanella-inoculated microbial fuel cells across different reactor configurations. A 100 mT field was reported to increase maximum voltage and the effect was described as immediate and reversible, with possible adverse…

This in vitro study examined whether extremely low-frequency magnetic fields affect chondrogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells in pellet culture. Cells exposed for 3 weeks to a homogeneous sinusoidal 5 mT magnetic field showed increased collagen type II expression (significant at passage 6) and…

This methods paper addresses how B0 (main field) and B1 (transmit field) inhomogeneities can bias SPGR and bSSFP steady-state MRI signals used for multicomponent T1/T2 relaxometry and myelin water analysis. It describes using DESPOT1-HIFI to calibrate flip angles and adding a B0-related parameter with multiple…

This theoretical study models electron spin resonance and spin/charge pumping in zigzag graphene nanoribbons driven by a transverse rotating magnetic field without applied bias. It reports that pumped spin current density increases with ribbon size and rotating-field intensity, and that even-chain ribbons can also…

This condensed-matter study investigates highly oriented pyrolytic graphite under very strong magnetic fields at low temperature. It reports a magnetic-field-induced charge density wave transition and a subsequent sign reversal of the Hall coefficient from negative to positive. The reported angular dependence…

This theoretical study analyzes quench dynamics in the Kondo model on the Toulouse line in the presence of a local magnetic field. The authors report exact analytical results for local spin dynamics, finding that relaxation timescales are set by the Kondo scale. They also describe damped transient oscillations in…

This condensed-matter physics study examined how high magnetic fields and pressure affect magnetization, transport, and thermodynamic properties of the intermediate-valence compound YbPd. The authors report that the Yb valence state and two first-order transitions are stable up to 55 T, while increasing pressure…

This paper presents a mesoscopic transport modeling framework (NEGF plus a real-space π-orbital model) to study how a uniform perpendicular magnetic field affects electronic transport in armchair graphene nanoribbons. The authors report width-dependent equilibrium current profiles and edge-localized transport under…

This paper describes unusual electronic properties of a graphene antidot created by a piecewise constant potential in a magnetic field. It reports near-complete localization of electron probability within the barrier region under some conditions and a symmetry linking antidot and dot states with identical…

This laboratory/materials study examined deformation and swelling of magnetic field sensitive polymer gels (ferrogels) in a static, uniform magnetic field. The authors report that gels with randomly distributed magnetic particles exhibited weak magnetodeformation, whereas gels with aligned particles showed no…

This paper presents a theoretical model to investigate the origin of a mixed symmetry pairing state in the high-Tc superconductor YBa2Cu3O7-δ under applied magnetic fields between Hc1 and Hc2. The authors report that the model’s results, and their stated agreement with relevant experimental data, suggest orthorhombic…

This paper is a review of two-dimensional electron dynamics in microscopically inhomogeneous magnetic fields, focusing on magnetic potentials varying on scales smaller than the mean free path. It covers early work on localization in random magnetic fields, methods to fabricate magnetic potentials, and drift-diffusion…

This laboratory study investigates how magnetic field and pressure affect valence and magnetic transitions in the compound EuPtP. High-field analysis suggests a mixed valence state at low temperature and discontinuous changes in Eu2+ fraction at two transition temperatures. Pressure increases the transition…

This paper theoretically investigates zero- and finite-temperature behavior of an anisotropic antiferromagnetic Heisenberg XXZ spin-1/2 chain under a transverse magnetic field, focusing between the factorizing and critical fields. It reports an entanglement phase transition at the factorizing field where entanglement…

This paper analyzes anomalous magnetic-field and temperature dependences observed in MgB(2) superconductivity experiments using a two-order-parameter Ginzburg-Landau theory with two length scales. The authors numerically solve the nonlinear Ginzburg-Landau equations for arbitrary applied fields between Hc1 and Hc2 to…
