The importance of 1s-vacancies in an explanation of the transient magnetic field

  • 1. Aarhus Univ. (Denmark). Inst. of Physics

Description

Transient magnetic fields are at present subject to many speculations. Systematics in transient field precession data indicate that the transient field is caused by unpaired s-electrons in the moving ion. In order to test this hypothesis a series of experiments has been started to measure the single - 1s - electron fractions for light ions moving in solids. Measurements have been performed for 10-36 MeV 2γ Si ions in nickel foil targets with a very thin Ti probe layer on one side. The probe layer X-ray yield is very sensitive to 1s vacancies in the beam. The results give strong support to the assumption that bound polarised electrons are responsible for the transient field.
