Download or read book Megagauss Magnetic Field Generation, Its Application to Science and Ultra-High Pulsed-Power Technology written by Hans J Schneider-Muntau and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2004-11-04 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The generation of megagauss fields for science and technology is an exciting area at the extremes of parameter space, involving the application and controlled handling of extremely high power and energy densities in small volumes and on short time scales. New physical phenomena, technological challenges, and the selection and development of materials, together create a unique potential and synergy resulting in fascinating discoveries and achievements. This book is a collection of the contributions of an international conference, which assembled the leading scientists and engineers worldwide working on the generation and use of the strongest magnetic fields possible. Other research activities include generators that employ explosives to create ultra-high pulsed power for different applications, such as megavolt or radiation sources. Additional topics are the generation of plasmas and magnetized plasmas for fusion, imploding liners, rail guns, etc. Contents: Overviews and LecturesGeneration of Megagauss Magnetic Fields — Ultra-High Magnetic FieldsGeneration of Megagauss Magnetic Fields — Non-Destructive High Magnetic Fields/Conductor DevelopmentGeneration of Megagauss Magnetic Fields — High Magnetic Fields in Small VolumesScience in Megagauss Magnetic FieldsPlasmas, Magnetized Plasmas, FusionRailguns, Launchers, and Related TopicsExplosive Ultra-High Pulsed Power GeneratorsImploding LinersCodes, Analysis, SimulationsSwitches and OtherHigh Magnetic Field Facilities Readership: Academics, graduate students, researchers, engineers and practitioners in applied physics, condensed matter physics and advanced systems engineering.
