Magnetic Field-Induced Phase Transition

Abstract

The magnetic field controls the spin and orbital motion of electrons and can induce a phase transition through a change of the ground state [...]

Applications of magnetic and electromagnetic forces in micro-analytical systems

“…288,289 An extremely high magnetic field of 100 T was used for the phase transition studies. 290 Alternatively, the effect of the extremely low magnetic field of the Earth (<50 μT) was studied in relation to the mechanism of magnetoreception of bees, birds, and fishes. 291 Hore's group reported the radical-pair mechanism of light-sensitive cryptochrome proteins as a key reaction of magnetoreception, 292 but some researchers 293 proposed the role of magnetite in magnetoreception.…”
