Spontaneous Magnetization of Axion Domain Wall and Primordial Magnetic Field

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2014-11-17 v1

Abstract

We show that axion domain walls gain spontaneous magnetization in early universe by trapping either electrons or positrons with their spins polarized. The reason is that the walls produces an attractive potential for these particles. We argue that the wall bounded by an axionic superconducting string leaves a magnetic field after its decay. We obtain a field 1023\sim 10^{-23} Gauss on the scale of horizon at the recombination.
