One of the most efficient energy sources in the universe is the matter accretion onto compact objects, such as black holes (BHs) and neutron stars (NSs). Since magnetic fields are ubiquitous everywhere, the accretion flow is expected to be magnetized in nature, where the large-scale magnetic fields inside the disks are commonly rooted either from the companion star or the interstellar medium.
