We study the generation of primeval magnetic fields during inflation era in nonlinear theories of electrodynamics. Although the intensity of the produced fields strongly depends on characteristics of inflation and on the form of electromagnetic Lagrangian, our results do not exclude the possibility that these fields could be astrophysically interesting.

We re-analyze the production of seed magnetic fields during Inflation in (R/m^2)^n F_{mu u}F^{mu u} and I F_{mu u}F^{mu u} models, where n is a positive integer, R the Ricci scalar, m a mass parameter, and I propto eta^alpha a power-law function of the conformal time eta, with alpha a positive real number. If m is the electron mass, the produced fields are uninterestingly small for all n. Taking m as a free parameter we find that, for n geq 2, the produced magnetic fields can be sufficiently strong in order to seed dynamo mechanism and then to explain galactic magnetism. For alpha gtrsim 2, there is always a window in the parameters defining Inflation such that the generated magnetic fields are astrophysically interesting. Moreover, if Inflation is (almost) de Sitter and the produced fields almost scale-invariant (alpha simeq 4), their intensity can be strong enough to directly explain the presence of microgauss galactic magnetic fields.
We propose a simple experiment to explore magnetic fields created by electric railways and compare them with a simple model and parameters estimated using easily available information. A pedestrian walking on an overpass above train tracks registers the components of the magnetic field with the built-in magnetometer of a smartphone. The experimental results are successfully compared with a model of the magnetic field of the transmission lines and the local Earths magnetic field. This experiment, suitable for a field trip, involves several abilities, such as modeling the magnetic field of power lines, looking up reliable information and estimating non-easily accessible quantities.
We present preliminary results on the possible effects that primordial magnetic fields can have for a warm inflation scenario, based on global supersymmetry, with a new-inflation-type potential. This work is motivated by two considerations: first, magnetic fields seem to be present in the universe on all scales, which rises the possibility that they could also permeate the early universe; second, the recent emergence of inflationary models where the inflaton is not assumed to be isolated but instead it is taken as an interacting field, even during the inflationary expansion. The effects of magnetic fields are included resorting to Schwinger proper time method.
We study the effects of primordial magnetic fields on the inflationary potential in the context of a warm inflation scenario. The model, based on global supersymmetry with a new-inflation-type potential and a coupling between the inflaton and a heavy intermediate superfield, is already known to preserve the flatness required for slow-roll conditions even after including thermal contributions. Here we show that the magnetic field makes the potential even flatter, retarding the transition and rendering it smoother.
In laboratories, ultrahigh magnetic fields are usually produced with very large currents through superconducting, resistive or hybrid magnets, which require extreme conditions, such as low temperature, huge cooling water or tens of megawatts of power. In this work we report that when single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) are cut, there are magnetic moments at the shearing end of SWNTs. The average magnetic moment is found to be 41.5+-9.8uB per carbon atom in the end states with a width of 1 nm at temperature of 300.0K, suggesting ultrahigh magnetic fields can be produced. The dangling sigma and pi bonds of the carbon atoms at the shearing ends play important roles for this unexpectedly high magnetic moments because the oxidation temperature of cut SWNTs is found to be as low as 312 in dry air. Producing ultrahigh magnetic field with SWNTs has the advantage of working at higher working temperature and with low energy consumption, suggesting great potentials of applications.
