We consider the effect of Hall-drift on the evolution of magnetic fields in neutorn star crusts using a finite difference code. Previously, most studies have focused on the situation where the ohmic term dominates the evolution. Here, we…
We consider the evolution of magnetic fields under the influence of Hall drift and Ohmic decay. The governing equation is solved numerically, in a spherical shell with r_i/r_o = 0.75. Starting with simple free decay modes as initial…
The evolution of the magnetic field in neutron star crusts because of the Hall effect has received significant attention over the last two decades, which is strongly justified because of the dominance of this effect in highly magnetised…
We present new simulations of the evolution of axially symmetric magnetic fields in neutron star crusts under the influence of the Hall effect and subdominant Ohmic dissipation. In the Hall effect, differential rotation of the electron…
Neutron star magnetic field evolution is mediated through the Hall effect and Ohmic dissipation in the crust while ambipolar diffusion is taking place in the core. These effects have been studied in detail in either part of the star,…
Neutron stars host the strongest magnetic fields that we know of in the Universe. Their magnetic fields are the main means of generating their radiation, either magnetospheric or through the crust. Moreover, the evolution of the magnetic…
In this work we explore the evolution of magnetic fields inside strongly magnetized neutron stars in axisymmetry. We model numerically the coupled field evolution in the core and the crust. Our code models the Hall drift and Ohmic effects…

Magnetic field evolution in neutron-star crusts is driven by the Hall effect and Ohmic dissipation, for as long as the crust is sufficiently strong to absorb Maxwell stresses exerted by the field and thus make the momentum equation…
I describe work on two aspects of magnetic field evolution relevant for the "recycling" scenario for making millisecond radio pulsars. First, many of the theoretical ideas for bringing about accretion-induced field decay rely on dissipation…

The ohmic decay of magnetic fields confined within the crust of neutron stars is considered by incorporating the effect of space-time curvature produced by the intense gravitational field of the star. It is shown that general relativistic…
In the presence of a strong magnetic field and under conditions as realized in the crust and the superfluid core of neutron stars the Hall--drift dominates the field evolution. We show by a linear analysis that for a sufficiently strong…
The evolutionary scenario of the neutron star magnetic field is examined assuming a spindown-induced expulsion of magnetic flux originally confined to the core, in which case the expelled flux undergoes ohmic decay. The nature of field…
The ohmic decay of magnetic fields in the crusts of neutron stars is generally believed to be governed by Hall drift which leads to what is known as a Hall cascade. Here we show that helical and fractionally helical magnetic fields undergo…
The dynamics of magnetic field decay with Hall drift is investigated. Assuming that axisymmetric magnetic fields are located in a spherical crust with uniform conductivity and electron number density, long-term evolution is calculated up to…
In this study, we examine the magnetic field evolution occurring in a neutron star crust. Beyond the elastic limit, the lattice ions are assumed to act as a plastic flow. The Ohmic dissipation, Hall drift, and bulk fluid velocity driven by…
We study the effects of high magnetic fields on the structure and on the geometry of the crust in neutron stars. We find that the crust geometry is substantially modified by the magnetic field inside the star. We build stationary and…
In former papers we showed that during the decay of a neutron star's magnetic field under the influence of the Hall--drift, an unstable rise of small--scale field structures at the expense of the large--scale background field may happen.…
