The Effect of a Weak Magnetic Field (0 T to 0.4 T) on the Valence Band and Intramolecular Hydrogen of Inorganic Aerosol Metal–Nitrogen Gas Chemical Reactions in a Sparking Discharge Process

The effects of a weak magnetic field on chemical reactions are still not well understood. In our research, we used a sparking discharge process to ionize and atomize different metal wires in ambient air under usual atmospheric conditions, with and without the presence of a magnetic field. Products w...
