The utilization of extremely low-frequency magnetic fields has been widely explored across various scientific domains. According to Faraday's law, time-varying magnetic fields induce corresponding electric fields, affecting ions and dipoles. However, the symmetrical patterns of sinusoidal and square magnetic fields often limit their effectiveness. This study proposes the use of sawtooth magnetic fields (STMFs) for their ability to generate asymmetrical electric fields. STMFs create strong electric fields in one direction over a short duration and weaker fields in the opposite direction over a longer period, potentially improving effectiveness. Supporting evidence includes studies on transcranial magnetic stimulation, showing the superior impact of monophasic pulses compared with biphasic ones. Furthermore, research on pulsed and switching magnetic fields has demonstrated significant impacts on brain signals, cognitive function, drug delivery, and oncology applications. If validated, STMFs could advance therapeutic interventions and biomedical research.
极低频磁场的应用已在各个科学领域得到广泛探索。根据法拉第定律,时变磁场会感应出相应的电场,影响离子和偶极子。然而,正弦和方形磁场的对称模式常常限制了它们的有效性。本研究提出使用锯齿形磁场(STMFs),因为它们能够产生不对称电场。STMFs在短时间内在一个方向上产生强电场,而在较长时间内在相反方向上产生较弱电场,这可能会提高有效性。支持证据包括经颅磁刺激研究,显示单相脉冲比双相脉冲具有更大的影响。此外,对脉冲和开关磁场的研究表明,它们对脑信号、认知功能、药物递送和肿瘤学应用具有重大影响。如果得到验证,STMFs可能会推动治疗干预和生物医学研究的发展。
