On Ultrahigh Magnetic-Field Generation Using Solid-State Liner System

A scheme of a device intended for amplification of an axial magnetic field by a system of solid-state cylindrical liners is described in this paper. A 1-D magnetohydrodynamic model used in this paper is stated briefly. Calculation results of ultrahigh magnetic-field generation using one-, two-, and three-stage liner systems are presented.

I. Introduction

A magnetic field of 2000 T and more [1] is required for obtaining a high-temperature plasma, study of substance properties in extreme conditions, and other research. Nowadays, one way of generating ultrahigh magnetic field is the radial compression of a magnetic flux by a cylindrical conducting shell. In this case, the kinetic energy of the shell is converted into energy of the compressed magnetic field.
