Generation of Magnetic Fields around Black Hole Accretion Disks due to Nonconservative Radiation Fields

We investigate the generation of magnetic fields above black hole accretion disks due to the nonzero curl of the disk radiation field. By self-consistently computing the components of the radiation flux and their curl, we show that the rotational nature of the radiation field induces charge separati...
