The generation of large scale flows by the anisotropic kinetic alpha (AKA) effect is investigated in simulations with a suitable time-dependent space- and time-periodic anisotropic forcing lacking parity invariance. The forcing pattern…
We use a single dipole approximation to analyze the behavior of anisotropy-dominated magnetic nanoparticles subjected to an external r.f. field. We identify the steady state oscillations and analyze their stability. We also analyze the case…
We study the modification of the magnetocrystalline anisotropy (MCA) of Co slabs induced by several different conjugated molecular overlayers, i.e., benzene, cyclooctatetraene, naphthalene, pyrene and coronene. We perform first-principles…
In our previous work [J. Chem. Phys. \textbf{136}, 024502 (2012)], we reported a demixing phase transition of a two-dimensional, binary Heisenberg fluid mixture driven by the ferromagnetic interactions of the magnetic species. Here, we…
Using three-dimensional convection simulations it is shown that a sinusoidal variation of horizontal shear leads to a kinematic \alpha effect with a similar sinusoidal variation. The effect exists even for weak stratification and arises…
We study the influence of surface anisotropy on the zero-temperature hysteretic properties of a small single-domain magnetic particle, and give an estimation of the anisotropy constant for which deviations from the Stoner-Wohlfarth model…
Much work on turbulent three-dimensional dynamos has been done using triply periodic domains, in which there are no magnetic helicity fluxes. Here we present simulations where the turbulent intensity is still nearly homogeneous, but now…
By modelling the upper layers of the Sun in terms of a two-layer setup where a free-surface exists within the computational domain, we numerically study the interaction between the surface gravity, or the fundamental ($f$) mode, and the…
A marginally excited cosmic kinematic dynamo is found in the background of a non-singular anisotropic Kasner cosmological metric solution of Einstein field equation of general relativity. The magnetic field is not amplified but is frozen…
Condensed matter systems can host emergent `vacua' with particles, fields and dimension different from that of the universe we inhabit. Motivated by the appearance of emergent gauge fields with both electric and magnetic charges, we…

Strongly magnetized accretion discs around black holes have attractive features that may explain enigmatic aspects of X-ray binary behaviour. The structure and evolution of these discs are governed by a dynamo-like mechanism, which channels…
The current understanding of astrophysical magnetic fields is reviewed, focusing on their generation and maintenance by turbulence. In the astrophysical context this generation is usually explained by a self-excited dynamo, which involves…
Large-scale planetary or stellar magnetic fields generated by a dynamo effect are mostly attributed to flows forced by buoyancy forces in electrically conducting fluid layers. However, these large-scale fields may also be controlled by…
The Von K{\'a}rm{\'a}n Sodium experiment yields a variety of dynamo regimes, when asymmetry is imparted to the flow by rotating impellers at different speed F1 and F2. We show that as the intensity of forcing, measured as F1 + F2, is…
Stellar dynamos are affected by boundary conditions imposed by stellar coronae. Under some approximations it is possible to find analytical solutions. Interior dynamo models often consider a current-free coronae without taking into account…
Magnetic fields are important for accretion disc structure. Magnetic fields in a disc system may be transported with the accreted matter. They can be associated with either the central body and/or jet, and be fossil or dynamo excited in…
The exploration of mean-field galactic dynamos affected by a galactic spiral pattern, begun in Chamandy et al. (2013, hereafter Paper I) with numerical simulations, is continued here with an asymptotic solution. The mean-field dynamo model…
The guiding center and gyrokinetic theory of magnetized particle motion is extended to the regime of large electric field gradients perpendicular to the magnetic field. A gradient in the electric field directly modifies the oscillation…
Our theoretical and numerical analysis have suggested that for low-mass main sequences stars (of the spectral classes from M5 to G0) rotating much faster than the Sun, the generated large-scale magnetic field is caused by the mean-field…
