In this chapter, we give a brief introduction into the use of the Zeeman effect in astronomy and the general detection of magnetic fields in stars, concentrating on the use of FORS2 for longitudinal magnetic field measurements.
A linearly polarized light normally incident on a semiconductor quantum well with spin-orbit coupling may generate pure spin current via direct interband optical transition. An electric photocurrent can be extracted from the pure spin…
Previous studies have shown that type-II magnetic domain contrasts are caused by differences in the backscattering yields of magnetic domains of opposite magnetisation. Imaging the magnetic domains when the magnetisation vectors in the…
We show that in the metallic phase of a two dimensional electron gas the spin-orbit coupling due to structure inversion asymmetry leads to a characteristic anisotropy in the magnetoconductance. Within the assumption that the metallic phase…
Excitons in anisotropic two-dimensional (2D) materials, defined by direction-dependent effective masses, are of pronounced interest for their roles in excitonic and magneto-optical phenomena. A perpendicular magnetic field complicates the…
We consider that no mean magnetic field exists during this epoch, but that there is a mean magnetic energy associated with large-scale magnetic inhomogeneities. We study the evolution of these inhomogeneities and their influence on the…
Recent measurements of the magnetoresistance (MR) of amorphous superconducting thin films in tilted magnetic fields have displayed several surprising experimental details, in particular a strong dependence of the MR on field angle at low…
Spectropolarimetric observations used to infer the solar magnetic fields are obtained with a limited spatial resolution. The effects of this limited resolution on the inference of the open flux over the observed region have not been…
The Zeeman effect is an important topic in atomic spectroscopy. The induced change in transition frequencies and amplitudes finds applications in the Earth-field-range magnetometry. At intermediate magnetic field amplitude $B\sim B_0 =…
Magnetic oscillation is a generic property of electronic conductors under magnetic fields and widely appreciated as a useful probe of their electronic band structure, i.e., the Fermi surface geometry. However, the usage of the strong static…
Magnetometry is an important tool prevalent in many applications such as fundamental research, material characterization and biological imaging. Atomic magnetometry conventionally makes use of two quantum states, the energy difference of…
Low-mass stars are known to have magnetic fields that are believed to be of dynamo origin. Two complementary techniques are principally used to characterise them. Zeeman-Doppler imaging (ZDI) can determine the geometry of the large-scale…
While emission and absorption lines of the 21 cm spin-flip transition of neutral Hydrogen are intrinsically unpolarized, a magnetic field creates left- and right-handed polarized components through the Zeeman effect. Here we consider the…
In a recent letter (Trujillo Bueno et al. 2002), we showed the remarkable result that the atomic alignment of the levels P$_{1/2}$ and S$_{1/2}$ of the D$_1$ line of Na I is practically destroyed in the presence of magnetic fields sensibly…
The results of experimental studies of the Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) efect in the (013)-HgTe/Hg$_{1-x}$Cd$_x$Te quantum wells (QWs) of electron type of conductivity both with normal and inverted energy spectrum are reported. Comprehensive…
Measuring the 3D spatial distribution of magnetic fields in the interstellar medium and the intracluster medium is crucial yet challenging. The probing of 3D magnetic field's 3D distribution, including the field plane-of-sky orientation…
For densities above $n=1.6 \times 10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$ in the strongly interacting system of electrons in two-dimensional silicon inversion layers, excellent agreement between experiment and the theory of Zala, Narozhny and Aleiner is…
Based on calculations of the Stokes parameters for the Holweger-Mliller model atmosphere, we study sensitivity of the Fe I 525.02 nm line to some kinds of vertical and horizontal magnetic field inhomogeneity. A noticeable asymmetry is shown…
We revisit the relation between magnetic-field strength ($B$) and gas density ($\rho$) for contracting interstellar clouds and fragments (or, cores), which is central in observationally determining the dynamical importance of magnetic…
We have obtained accurate circular spectropolarimetric observations for a sample of Vega-like and Herbig Ae/Be stars with FORS1 at the VLT in an attempt to detect their magnetic fields. No magnetic field could be diagnosed in any Vega-like…
