Abstract

An analytical solution to the sharp-front magnetic diffusion problem with a step-like resistance model is an interesting mathematical physics problem. It also relates to the plasma production at the surface of a metal under strong magnetic loading measured in experiments. In this paper, we make an advance on an earlier work of Xiao et al. [Phys. Plasmas 23, 082104 (2016)], by deriving formulas for the threshold magnetic field strength and the diffusion velocity of the magnetic diffusion wave under a step-like resistance model to the higher order accuracy.
