Dust Battery: A Novel Mechanism for Seed Magnetic Field Generation in the Early Universe
We propose a novel dust battery mechanism for generating seed magnetic fields in the early Universe, in which charged dust grains are radiatively accelerated, inducing strong electric currents that subsequently generate magnetic fields. Our analysis demonstrates that this process is effective even a...
