The thermal ionization of the surface of thick metal, in response to a pulsed multi-megagauss magnetic field, is investigated experimentally and theoretically. Time-resolved imaging, pyrometry, spectroscopy, and laser shadowgraphy are used for characterization. Radiation-magnetohydrodynamic simulations are also used, which include the Eulerian MHRDR code and the Lagrangian RAVEN UP codes. An analytic...
Summary form only given. The physics of plasma formation by extremely high pulsed magnetic fields is important in wire-array Z-pinches, high current fuses, magnetically insulated transmission lines, ultrahigh magnetic field generators, magnetized target fusion, and astrophysics. To study the behavior of conductors exposed to MG fields, an experiment has been performed on Zebra, a 2-TW pulsed-power...
