Scientific paper

Coalescence of flux ropes is an important process in both nature and laboratory plasmas. How axial magnetic field affecting this process is a critical issue for understanding the magnetic reconnection in three dimensions. We experimentally demonstrate for the first time that the axial magnetic field may impede the merging process and thus prevent the occurring of reconnection. The interesting finding is an out-of-plane quadrupole-like magnetic structure, which is formed by diffusion of axial magnetic fields and diamagnetic fields.
