摘要
Temperature-driven convection in 25 w% NaCl aqueous solution was observed in situ under a static and homogeneous magnetic field of 10 T. The convection in the solution was visualized using polystyrene latex particles of 5 mu m diameter. A magnetic field of 10 T reduced the velocity of convection by a factor of two. Magnetic damping of convection in an electrolyte solution could be a useful technique to control the growth of crystals such as proteins.
