Abstract

The magnetic field strengths of most millisecond pulsars(MSP) are about 108-9 Gauss. The accretion induced magnetic field evolution scenario here concludes that the field decay is invesely related to the accreted mass and the minimum field or bottom field stops at about 108 Gauss if accreted with the Eddington accretion rate, which is proportionally related with the accretion rate as M1/2. The possibility of the low field 107 Gauss MSPs has been proposed for the future radio observation.
