The Influence of Oxygen Ions on the Formation of a Thin Current Sheet in the Magnetotail
Cosmic Research, USA. 2023. Vol. 61. No. 3. P. 218–231.
A thin current sheet in the Earth’s magnetotail with characteristic thickness of one to several proton gyroradii is often observed during magnetospheric disturbances named substorms, when a relatively thick current configuration in the magnetotail is narrowed to an extremely small thickness and then can spontaneously be destroyed. The current-sheet destruction is usually accompanied by such active processes as plasma acceleration and heating, as well as generation of an induced electric field and magnetohydrodynamic waves. In this paper, we developed and investigated a model of formation of a thin current sheet in which, along with protons, we have taken into account single-charged oxygen ions coming from the ionosphere into the magnetotail current sheet during magnetically active periods. The aim of this simulation is to study the peculiarities of thin current-sheet formation in two-component plasma and investigate its structure. It is shown that equilibrium configuration can have some characteristic properties. In particular, if the system consists only of protons or heavy ions, single-scale current equilibrium supported by quasi-adiabatic particles is formed. When a current sheet is formed in plasma that consists of a mixture of protons and oxygen ions in comparable concentrations, a current sheet can be formed with heavy ions as current carriers and chaotic proton trajectories that make a negative contribution to the current, due to which the current-density profile becomes bifurcated with the minimum at the center and maxima at the periphery of the sheet. The results may be useful for the interpretation of observational data in the Earth’s magnetotail.

The enigmatic puzzle of the Verwey transition in magnetite Fe3O4 has been unresolved for almost a century. We present an ab initio-based model of the polaron transport combining kinetic Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics calculations to directly describe the coupling of polarons with lattice vibrations. Contrary to the Ihle-Lorenz small-polaron model, we find no significant ...

The effects of dislocations on the mobility of gas nanobubbles pinned to them are considered as novel unex- plored mechanisms of accelerated fission gas release and investigated using classical molecular dynamics of helium bubbles in FCC aluminum. Non-equilibrium methods are developed to calculate the mobility of a pinned bubble both along and across the dislocation ...

We report a high-performance implementation of the resolution-of-the-identity Hartree–Fock method that fully exploits the permutational symmetry of three-center electron repulsion integrals (ERI). The present implementation adopts a hybrid MPI+OpenMP parallelization strategy. Two different algorithmic approaches (with and without the pre-transformation of ERIs) are compared. A custom data layout introduced previously is employed. Designed to efficiently ...

We develop a new three-party quantum secret-sharing (QSS) protocol based on a three-qubit W state. This protocol encodes the secret-sequence bits using X gates and employs randomly selected Hadamard operations and measurement bases to generate information and security-test rounds. We evaluate the efficiency of the proposed protocol and analyze its security against an internal adversary ...

The stochastic frontier model (SFM) is widely employed in the analysis of productivity and efficiency, yet strict parametric forms, such as the Cobb-Douglas and Translog functions, are often assumed for modeling production, leading to potential misspecification issues. While semi- and nonparametric SFMs offer greater flexibility, they face challenges in imposing monotonicity and concavity to maintain ...

In this work, a simple genetic algorithm (GA) is used to find and characterize different QBs in a 𝛽-FPUT chain. By considering the space of initial particle displacements as a global optimization landscape, GA maximizes the energy localization function by automatically evolving candidate states toward highly localized long-lived solutions without a priori symmetry assumptions. 200 ...

We provide four equivalent combinatorial conditions for a simple assembly graph (rigid vertex graph where all vertices are of degree 1 or 4) to have the largest number of Hamiltonian sets of polygonal paths relative to its size. These conditions serve to prove the conjecture that such a maximum, which is equal to 𝐹_(2𝑛+1) −1, ...

We analytically consider the problem of the Langmuir instability. The instability describes emergence of transverse modulation of horizontal current with vertical shear, when it is superimposed on surface wave co-directional with the flow. Compared to the Craik–Leibovich scheme, we account for the scattering of surface wave on the modulated current, which is significant if the ...

Understanding the properties of two-dimensional material interfaces with the substrate is necessary for device applications. Surface acoustic wave propagation through a layered material flake on a substrate could provide unique information on the transverse rigidity of the flake-to-substrate interaction. Ultrasonic waves were generated by a focused femtosecond laser pulse at the surface of a model ...

This article demonstrates that the Laplace–Bessel operator generates a strongly continuous
semigroup on a weighted Lebesgue space. Using this semigroup, we define the fractional Laplace–
Bessel operator via Balakrishnan’s formula. Furthermore, we derive three distinct representations for
fractional powers of the negative Laplace–Bessel operator. ...

The solar wind ion transport across the magnetopause is one of the main sources of plasma for the Earth's magnetotail. Such a transport is supported by various dynamic processes at the flank magnetopause, where wave-particle interactions play a crucial role in ion flow thermalization and diffusion across magnetic field surfaces of the magnetopause tangential discontinuity. ...

Earth's magnetotail is filled with solar wind and ionospheric electrons, whose initial energies are significantly lower than the typical energies (temperatures) of plasmasheet electrons. One of the most common mechanisms responsible for heating of solar wind and ionospheric electrons in Earth's magnetotail is adiabatic heating caused by earthward convection of these electrons from the deep ...
