Surface magnetism

An important distinction among surfaces and interfaces is whether or not they exliibit mirror synnnetry about a plane nonnal to the surface. This synnnetry is particularly relevant for the case of isotropic surfaces (co-synnnetry), i.e. ones that are equivalent in every azunuthal direction. Those surfaces that fail to exliibit mirror synnnetry may be tenned chiral surfaces. They would be expected, for example, at the boundary of a liquid comprised of chiral molecules. Magnetized surfaces of isotropic media may also exliibit this synnnetry. (For a review of SFIG studies of chiral interfaces, the reader is referred to [68]. ...

Also in 1950 Sakliarov and Tamm proposed an idea for a controlled thermonuclear fusion reactor, the TOKAMAK (acronym for the Russian phrase for toroidal chamber with magnetic coiF ), which achieved the highest ratio of output power to input power of any fusion device of the twentieth centuiy. This reactor grew out of interest in a controlled nuclear fusion reaction, since 1950. Sakharov first considered electrostatic confinement, but soon came to the idea of magnetic confinement. Tamm joined the effort with his work on particle motion in a magnetic field, including cyclotron motion, drifts, and magnetic surfaces. Sakharov and Tamm realized that...

Since the bounding surface S of the torus is a magnetic surface, the first term on the right-hand side of Eq. (175) vanishes. 

Note that, in this case, the magnetic lines are contained in magnetic surfaces. There are in fact two families of them, given by the equations p = po and q = qo, where each line forms the intersection of two surfaces, one of each family (there are also two families of electric surfaces u = it0 and v = Vo). The functions (p, q) and ( , v) are the Clebsch variables of B and E, respectively [63,64], They can be used as canonical variables [62]. As explained above, they are not uniquely defined, but may be changed by canonical transformations. 

In order to reduce significantly the impurity influx into the plasma they have to leave the wall as ions (See Sect. 6.5.) or be ionized within the scrape-off layer before reaching the separator (see Fig. 7). The latter denotes the magnetic surface separating the magnetic lines which are closed within the confinement region and those which penetrate into the divertor chambers (Figs. 7 and 19).

Work can take forms other than that of mechanical (PV) work of expansion and contraction. We can experience electrical, gravitational, magnetic, surface and other forms of work (= w ). Most generally then, we can state the First Law of Thermodynamics by means of the following equation ... 

To realize second-order anisotropy, the atomic environment of the transition-metal atoms must have a sufficiently low symmetry [49, 62-65]. Figure 6 illustrates that this is often, but not always, the case for surface atoms. Magnetic surface anisotropy, first analyzed by Neel [62], is important in complicated structures and morphologies such as ultrathin transition-metal films [66], multilayers [67], rough surfaces [65], small...
