Application of a strong magnetic field on materials fabrication and experimental simulation

A magnetic field has a lot of useful functions. We focus on two of these functions. The first one is alignment of crystals with magnetic anisotropy. We aligned hydroxyapatite crystals and graphite whiskers during slip casting process under the imposition of the high magnetic field. In the case of the hydroxyapatite crystals, the sample was rotated in the magnetic field. The second function we focus on is Lorentz force induced by an electrically conductive material motion submerged in the magnetic field. We experimentally simulated bubble motion in a liquid metal by using argon bubble in a sodium chloride solution.
