β¦ Synopsis
It is shm~.n analytically that self-gcnerated magnetic fields are modulationally unstable with respect to the uniform state of a plasma; such an instability would localize the magnetic tield.This localized magnelic flux may well produce small-scale intermittent magnetic tields in coronal aclive regions o1 solar flares.

## Abstract We show that strong magnetic fields can be generated at shock waves associated with formation of galaxies or clusters of galaxies by the Weibel instability, an instability in collisionless plasmas. The estimated strength of the magnetic field generated through this mechanism is close to
## Abstract The magnetic field generation by relativistic transverse plasmons is investigated using a kinetic description. It is shown that the behavior of selfβgenerated magnetic fields can be described by nonlinear coupling equations. Numerical results show that a magnetic field selfβgenerated by
