Effect of magnetic fields on combustion electromotive force

A magnetic field is observed to affect the electrical response of a system burning under self-propagating high-temperature synthesis conditions. With the synthesis of lithium ferrite as an example, it is shown that, depending on its strength and direction, applying a magnetic field induces different forms of response. The greatest effect is observed in the postprocess region. Possible reasons for the ionization of the reaction mixture are examined, along with the role of morphological and electrochemical factors in the frontal combustion of mixtures in a magnetic field.
