Atom motion in a superstrong magnetic field
A mass anisotropy effect arises when an atom moves in a superstrong magnetic field B> 1012 G. It is shown that a particle with an anisotropic mass performs a complicated motion in an inhomogeneous field: in a forward-current field slowing of the radial velocity leads to elastic scattering, and in a dipole field the sign of the derivative of the centrifugal potential changes, which leads to falling of the particle on the dipole.
