Titans of the early Universe: The Prato statement on the origin of the first supermassive black holes (2018, background): “Possible sources of magnetic fields in the early Universe are battery processes (Biermann 1950), the Weibel instability (Lazar et al. 2009; Medvedev et al. 2004), or thermal plasma fluctuations (Schlickeiser & Shukla 2003).”
The Astrophysics of Ultrahigh-Energy Cosmic Rays (2011, background): “…1 µG, as it was produced out of the weakly magnetized void; thus shock acceleration can occur only if the magnetic field upstream can be strongly amplified (M. Lemoine and E. Zweibel, private comm., and see tentative amplification mechanisms by Schlickeiser & Shukla 2003; Zweibel & Everett 2010).”
WEIBEL, TWO-STREAM, FILAMENTATION, OBLIQUE, BELL, BUNEMAN...WHICH ONE GROWS FASTER? (2009, background): “Filamentation, or Weibel, instabilities could also be responsible for the birth of cosmological magnetic fields (Schlickeiser & Shukla 2003; Schlickeiser 2005; Lazar 2008; Lazar et al. 2009) as unstable particle streams through the intergalactic medium can magnetize an initially un-magnetized…”
Magnetic Fields in the Large-Scale Structure of the Universe (2011, background): “3 can operate and produce magnetic fields up to the level of εB ∼ 10−3εsh (Schlickeiser and Shukla 2003; Medvedev et al. 2006).”
Evolution of magnetic fields in galaxies and future observational tests with the Square Kilometre Array (2008, background): “…for generating magnetic seed fields are kinetic plasma instabilities, the so-called Weibel instability (Weibel 1959) in cosmological shocks (Schlickeiser & Shukla 2003; Medvedev et al. 2004) or cosmological perturbations (proposed by Takahashi et al. 2006) that may produce field strengths…”
THE GENERATION OF STRONG MAGNETIC FIELDS DURING THE FORMATION OF THE FIRST STARS (2010, background): “These studies have ignored the possible role of magnetic fields primarily, because the initial field strengths obtained from either cosmological processes like inflation and phase transition [6, 7] or astrophysical processes like the Biermann battery [8] or the Weibel instability [9, 10] are highly ”
Cosmological Magnetic Fields: Their Generation, Evolution and Observation (2013, background): “Possible mechanisms for the generation of magnetic fields during the gravitational collapse are the Weibel instability (Schlickeiser and Shukla 2003; Medvedev et al 2006) or battery effects (Subramanian et al 1994; Kulsrud et al 1997; Gnedin et al 2000).”
Small-scale dynamo action during the formation of the first stars and galaxies - I. The ideal MHD limit (2010, background): “Additional seed fields may be created via the Weibel instability in shocks (Schlickeiser & Shukla 2003; Medvedev et al. 2004; Lazar et al. 2009).”
