Micro-tube implosion (MTI) is a recently proposed scheme to generate strong magnetic field. In this study, we simulate MTI in uncoated and coated hollow cylindrical hydrogen targets using EPOCH. The results for the gold-coated target show that the largest B_max of ~113 times the initial seed is observed at 270 fs before it continuously decreases, reaching ~14 times the initial seed at 1000 fs.
