Asymmetric Equilibrium Structures of Superthin Current Sheets: The Asymmetry of Plasma Sources
Plasma Physics Reports. 2026. Vol. 52. No. 2. P. 179–185.
The influence of asymmetry of plasma sources on the structure and spatial localization of a superthin
current sheet (STCS) supported by demagnetized electrons is studied using a self-consistent model. The
simulation takes into account the presence of a single plasma source in the northern hemisphere, which
makes the plasma flow asymmetric. It is demonstrated that the asymmetry of plasma sources results in a
minor reduction in the current carried by demagnetized electrons on the Speiser orbits. In the process, an
enhancement of the negative diamagnetic currents is observed at the source side. The STCS center shifts to
the side opposite the source position to preserve the balance of the total pressure. A comparison of STCS
characteristics formed by demagnetized and magnetized electron populations reveals that the sheet structure
is more sensitive to asymmetry in the case of magnetized electrons.

We consider 3-diffeomorphisms with source–sink dynamics where Smale solenoids play the role of the source and the sink (NSSS-diffeomorphisms). It is known that such diffeomorphisms exist only on lens spaces. On the 3-sphere, every NSSS-diffeomorphism is associated with an exchangeable braid. An exchangeable braid with the strand number n was constructed for each n 3 in such a way ...

Lemon grass (Cymbopogon citratus, LG-SiO2), horsetail (Equisetum debile, SG-SiO2), and cassava leaves (Manihot esculenta, CL-SiO2) were used to green-synthesize silica (SiO2) nanoparticles (NPs). While LG-SiO2 and SG-SiO2 had strong (101) peaks and a large 22° amorphous peak, XRD of CL-SiO2 verified crystallinity. LG-SiO2 (agglomerated porous), SG-SiO2 (rectangular-cube agglomerates), and CL-SiO2 (flake agglomerates) had different morphologies. The TEM image of LG-SiO2 revealed agglomerated ...

Гомеоморфизмы топологических пространств называются эквивалентными по надстройке, если надстройки над ними топологически эквивалентны. В частности, топологически сопряженные гомеоморфизмы эквивалентны по надстройке. Известно, что для гомологически неприводимых гомеоморфизмов их топологическая сопряженность является необходимым и достаточным условием их эквивалентности по надстройке. Тогда как инварианты топологической сопряженности гомологически приводимых гомеоморфизмов во многих случаях являются избыточными для эквивалентности по ...

The shape of the heliosphere, regarded as comet-like since the 1960s, has recently been the subject of intense debate in the last decade. There is disagreement as to whether the heliospheric tail extends to ∼10,000 au in a comet-like shape or if it is short (∼400 au) with a split. Energetic neutral atom (ENA) maps from ...

Overheating remains a critical limitation in high-performance electronic and computing systems,
necessitating the development of efficient thermal management fluids. In this work, a magnetically
responsive hybrid ferrofluid was developed by incorporating two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride
(2D-hBN) nanosheets into a Mn–Zn–ferrite-based ferrofluid. The hybrid system retains magnetic
responsiveness while leveraging the high in-plane thermal conductivity and chemical stability of 2D-hBN
nanosheets. ...

The τ-phase in Mn-Al-Ga alloys is a promising candidate for rare-earth-free permanent magnets. This study re-veals that the τ(γ₂)-phase in rapidly quenched Mn55Al36Ga9 ribbons contains a high density of dislocations, which
form antiphase boundaries (APBs). Using transmission electron microscopy and density functional theory, we
demonstrate that Mn atoms at these APBs couple antiferromagnetically. This antiferromagnetic interaction is
identified ...

In this study we revealed the effect of scandium doping on the electronic and superconducting properties of the MgB2 compound. Calculations demonstrate that Sc substitutes for Mg atoms, acting as an electron donor. Mg substitution diminishes the density of states in the σ-band and attenuates the electron–phonon coupling, thereby elucidating the reduction in critical temperature. Simultaneously, ...

Recent MMS observations confirmed the existence of the quasi-stationary electron-scale super-thin current sheets (STCSs) with a half-thickness of few electron gyroradii. STCSs contain the electronpopulation consisting of magnetized and demagnetized particles. To study the role of the demagnetized electrons, we developed a self-consistent combined model of a STCS in which the dynamics of a part ...

Current sheets are spatially localized almost-one-dimensional (1D) structures with intense plasma currents. They play a key role in storing the magnetic field energy and they separate different plasma populations in planetary magnetospheres, the solar wind, and the solar corona. Current sheets are primary regions for the magnetic field line reconnection responsible for plasma heating and ...

We propose a new method of the automated identification of current sheets (CSs) that represents a formalization of the visual inspection approach employed in case studies. CSs are often identified by eye via the analysis of characteristic changes in the interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) and plasma parameters. Known visual and semi-automated empirical methods of CS ...

Force-free plasma equilibria are expected to form in the solar corona, while in-situspacecraft observations have shown that force-free equilibria are formed in the planetary magnetotails. In this paper, we develop fluid models of two-dimensional axially symmetric force-free equilibria and discuss similar slab equilibria. The group theory approach is used to find the symmetry groups and reduce ...

One of the most important sources of magnetospheric plasma is particle entry through the distant magnetotail boundary, the nightside magnetopause. This entry mechanism depends on the magnetopause configuration. Off the equator, the strong lobe magnetic field renders the magnetopause a tangential or a rotational discontinuity, and thus the magnetosheath field orientation predominantly controls particle entry ...

During the last 15 years, the Current Sheets (CSs) have been intensively studied in the tail of the terrestrial magnetosphere, where protons are the dominated ion component. On the contrary, in the Martian magnetotail heavy ions (O+ and ) usually dominate while the abundance of protons can be negligible. Hence it is interesting to study ...
