However, some effects may be attained by use of inhomogeneous magnetic fields because of the neutron's magnetic moment.

The Stern-Gerlach experiment involves sending a beam of particles through an inhomogeneous magnetic field and observing their deflection.

According to more recent insights, based on a quantum mechanical description of the influence of the inhomogeneous magnetic field, this can be true only in an approximate sense.

If a voltage is applied to the electrodes, they produce an inhomogeneous electric field.

A strong inhomogeneous magnetic field will separate out atoms in the higher energy state from a beam of mixed state atoms.

The probe and the sample or the patient get slightly magnetized when brought into the strong magnetic field and create additional inhomogeneous fields.

This condition assures that magnetic resonance is created despite small-or inhomogeneous magnetic fields.

Corona discharge is a partial breakdown of air, usually at atmospheric pressure, and is initiated by a discharge in an inhomogeneous electric field (see Figure 1).

The symmetry of the molecules can be determined by measuring the deflection of a molecular beam in an inhomogeneous electric field.

The deflection of a molecular beam of a molecules by an electric and/or inhomogeneous magnetic field can also be used.
