Hi,
I live near the world's most powerful electromagnet. I was wondering if the magnet would be powerful enough to pull the electrons from a metallic bond? The magnet can reach a power level of 45 Tesla. I would like to know if this is powerful enough to do this and if not what is.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Magnetic fields can influence the energy levels, but they do not "pull" electrons unless you move them in some way.
 
So if the energy level is high enough the electrons could disperse themselves and leave just the nucleus, right?
 
Electrons in metallic bonds are not bound to any atom.

Just to get a rough order of magnitude of any effects: Electrons need ~0.07c to get a force of ~1eV/nm in a field of 45 Tesla (calculation). 1eV/nm is small compared to electric fields in atoms, and 0.07c is quick.
 
Thank you very much

Thread 'Why is there such a difference between the total cross-section data? (simulation vs. experiment)'

Well, I'm simulating a neutron-proton scattering phase shift. The equation that I solve numerically is the Phase function method and is $$ \frac{d}{dr}[\delta_{i+1}] = \frac{2\mu}{\hbar^2}\frac{V(r)}{k^2}\sin(kr + \delta_i)$$ ##\delta_i## is the phase shift for triplet and singlet state, ##\mu## is the reduced mass for neutron-proton, ##k=\sqrt{2\mu E_{cm}/\hbar^2}## is the wave number and ##V(r)## is the potential of interaction like Yukawa, Wood-Saxon, Square well potential, etc. I first...

Thread 'Toponium Discovered'

Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...

Thread 'Dirac-Delta from Normalization of Continuous Eigenfunctions'

I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
