Recent spectropolarimetric observations with high spatial resolution and high polarization sensitivity have provided us with new insight to better understand the quiet-Sun magnetism. This talk is concerned with the ubiquitous transient horizontal magnetic fields in the quiet-Sun, as revealed by the Solar Optical Telescope (SOT) on board Hinode satellite. Exploiting the SOT data with careful treatment of photon noise, we reveal the enigmatic properties of these horizontal magnetic fields such as lifetime, size, position in terms of granular structure, occurrence rate, three-dimensional structure, total magnetic flux, field strength distribution, relationship with the meso- and super-granulations and so on. Based on these observational consequences, we conjecture that the local dynamo process, which takes place in a relatively shallow layer with the granular size, produces these transient horizontal magnetic fields and that these horizontal magnetic fields contribute to the considerable amount of quiet-Sun magnetic fields. We also estimate the magnetic energy flux carried by these horizontal magnetic fields based on the statistical data, and find that the total magnetic energy is comparable to the total chromospheric and coronal energy loss, implying their important role for the chromospheric heating and dynamism.

For many applications of $ReBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$ (ReBCO) tapes it is needed to know the anisotropic properties of the used conductor in a broad range of magnetic field. In this paper we present the results of transport measurements on the SuNAM tape (GdBaCuO) with the rotation of the sample in magnetic fields up to 5 T in liquid nitrogen. The critical current over the magnetic field orientation ($I_c({\theta})$) curves demonstrate the appearance of distinct second peak around c-axis in low fields. This peak almost vanishes in the fields over 3 T. The evolution of the ab-peak form is also presented: the peak consistently reduces its height with the magnetic field going up and in the high fields the shoulders rise, changing the type of the distribution. To describe experimental curves the vortex path model was applied to the angular distributions of the critical current in magnetic field. Good agreements of the experimental data with the analytical expressions were obtained that confirm the vortex path model approach.

We present the study of association between sub-photospheric flow and photospheric magnetic fields of active regions respectively derived from the local helioseismology and observed magnetic fields. It is believed that the energetic transients, e.g., flares and CMES, are caused by changes in magnetic and velocity field topologies in solar atmosphere. These changes are essentially brought about by the magnetic fields that are rooted beneath the photosphere where they interact and get affected by sub-photospheric flows. Therefore, we expect the topology of sub-surface flows to be correlated with the observable topology of magnetic fields at the photosphere and higher layers. In order to examine the correlation, if any, we computed the near photospheric flows and photospheric magnetic fields using the Doppler velocity and magnetic fields observations, respectively, provided by the SDO/HMI. The high resolution Doppler observations from the HMI enabled us to compute the very high p-modes parameters which sample the sub-photosphere shallow near the photosphere. Furthermore, we compute the sub-photospheric flow topology parameters, e.g., vorticity, kinetic helicity, and photospheric magnetic field topology parameters, e.g., magnetic helicity, from the magnetic fields observations to compare their associations. We present the result of the analysis in the paper.

Magnetic properties of magnetite ferrofluid are studied by measuring magnetic weights under different magnetic fields with a conventional electronic balance. Magnetite nanoparticles of 11 nm diameter are synthesized to make the ferrofluid. Magnetization calculated from the magnetic weight reveals the hysteresis and deviates from the Langevin function at high magnetic fields. Magnetic weight shifts instantaneously with magnetic field change by Neel and Brown mechanism. When high magnetic field is applied to the sample, slower change of magnetic weight is accompanied with the instantaneous shift via agglomeration of nanoparticles. The slow change of the magnetic weight shows the stretched exponential kinetics. The temporal change of the magnetic weight and the magnetization of the ferrofluid at high magnetic fields suggest that the superparamagnetic sample turns into superspin glass by strong magnetic interparticle interactions.

A Reversed Field Pinch(RFP) Plasma automatically forms the reversed field configuration in a stable state by the self-reversal phenomenon. But this process of formation of the reversed field configuration has a problem that instabilities occur. In order to form a RFP configuration in a stable state by removing instabilities, this experimental study attempts to restrain Toroidal magnetic fields and supplement Toroidal flux by employing high frequency rotating fields. As a result, the reversed magnetic field configuration is stably formed in a short period because high frequency rotating fields can deflect poloidal currents and produce magnetic fields in the Toroidal direction.

New results of dependence of magnetic field, trapped by a stack of HTS tapes, on amount of tapes in a stack are reported. Commercial GdBCO tape 12 mm width and without Cu layer was used for the research. Tape was divided in square pieces $12{\times}12mm^2$ from which stacks were formed. Filling factor of the tape was about 1.4%. Measurements were carried out for stacks with height from 5 to 250 pieces and at wide temperature range from liquid helium to liquid nitrogen. Both FC (field cooling) and ZFC (zero field cooling) cooling methods were used in the research. These two methods show matching results with good accuracy. As a result dependences of trapped magnetic flux on amount of tapes for different temperatures were received. Research shows, that with increasing height of the stack trapped magnetic field value reach saturation at about 60 tapes in a stack for low temperatures. From 60 to 100 tapes increase of magnet flux is only 5%. Thus increase amount of tapes in a stack is not profitable. Also investigation of trapped magnet field relaxation was carried out. Relaxation speed decreases with increasing amount of elements. It means that the higher the stack is, the longer trapped flux will be held in cause of the same temperature.

The health risks from the magnetic fields exposure have been brought out difficulties in the construction of transformer substation. According to several epidemiologic studies and the relevant international organizations, magnetic fields should not exceed the exposure limits of 3mG for the people living near electric power lines. The rigid regulation of the exposure levels for the elementary school and residental areas has been established already in Switzerland and Italy. Since 1998, the environmental impact assessment system in Korea has been reviewed for power-frequency magnetic field by precautionary policies. In this study, the possible application of Prior Environmental Performance Review System for the transformer substation was reviewed from the points of the properties of the powerfrequency magnetic fields. The ranges and survey methods of the assessment for the transformer substation were proposed. The ranges of magnetic fields was between 300m to 500m for the 345kV transformer substation. It is necessary to develop further specific assessment methods for various high-voltage transformer substations.

Over the past decade, the exploration of high-temperature superconductivity and the discovery of a wide range of exotic superconducting states in Fe-based materials have propelled condensed matter physics research to new frontiers. These materials exhibit intriguing phenomena arising from their multiband electronic structure, strongly orbital-dependent effects, extremely small Fermi energy, electronic nematicity, and topological aspects. Among the various factors influencing their superconducting properties, high magnetic fields play a crucial role as a control knob capable of disrupting the subtle balance between the spin, charge, lattice, and orbital degrees of freedom, leading to the emergence of various exotic superconducting states. In this review, we provide an overview of the current understanding of the exotic superconducting states observed in Fe-based superconductors, with a particular focus on FeSe and Sr₂VO₃FeAs, under the influence of high magnetic fields.

In recent society, the quality of human life has improved due to the use of electric appliances and the high powered electrical equipments. However, lots of electric appliances and equipments generate the electromagnetic field hazard. Many studies have been made about the wrong behavior of machines due to electromagnetic fields, the interferences in communication equipments, the possibility of the electromagnetic field hazard in human body, etc. There exist international standards about the RF equipments (ex. mobile phone, antenna, etc.). But, many researchers involved in power frequency electric and magnetic field only propose the prudential avoidance. In this paper, induced currents in a human body model due to magnetic fields in high speed railway are calculated by two dimensional impedance method. Power frequency(60Hz) magnetic fields are calculated and induced currents are simulated by Faraday's law. Induced currents are simulated with induced voltage, human body model impedances due to Ohm's law, magnetic fields derived from Biot-Savart's law and Transmission Line Method in high speed railway.

Recently, there are growing concerns about power frequency electric and magnetic fields coming out from the high voltage transmission lines, because of the wide spread perception of their probable harmful effect on human body. In connection with this trend, this paper describes the electric and magnetic fields measurement result around 154 kV and 345 kV transmission lines, a comparison of measured EMF to calculated one and the correlations between transmission lines currents and measured magnetic fields. Daily maximum and minimum magnetic field quantities under the selected 154 kV and 345 kV transmission lines had been measured for 1 year of 1997 and the average value of magnetic field exposure under the lines were calculated and presented based on the measured data.
