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