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.

We demonstrate a thermo-optically tunable microlaser based on an InGaAs/GaAs quantum-dot (QD) active region employing a deformed limaçon-shaped cavity. The asymmetric geometry effectively lifts the degeneracy of high-Q whispering-gallery modes, enabling single-mode lasing. A side-mode suppression ratio exceeds 25 dB over a wide current range. Under continuous-wave electrical pumping, the device achieves a peak output power ...

Exact theories of electrolyte structure must satisfy the nonlocal constraints imposed by electrostatic screening, yet these constraints are most commonly formulated only for homogeneous bulk systems and at the level of two-point correlations. Here, we develop a unified field-theoretic framework that extends them to general inhomogeneous ionic fluids and nonlinear charge correlations. Using a standard ...

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 ...

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 ...
