Propagation of Electron Magnetohydrodynamic structures in a 2-D inhomogeneous plasma
The fully three dimensional governing equations in the electron magnetohydrodynamic (EMHD) regime for a plasma with inhomogeneous density is obtained. These equations in the two dimensional ( 2-D) limit can be cast in terms of the evolution of two coupled scalar fields. The nonlinear simulations for the two dimensional case are carried out to understand the propagation of EMHD magnetic structur...
متن کاملA Three Dimensional Magnetohydrodynamic Pulse in a Transversely Inhomogeneous Medium
Interaction of impulsively generated MHD waves with a one-dimensional plasma inhomogeneity, transverse to the magnetic field, is considered in the three-dimensional regime. Because of the transverse inhomogeneity, MHD fluctuations, even if they do not include initially any density perturbation, evolve toward states where the compressible components tend to become predominant. The propagating MH...
متن کاملRadiowave propagation in a statistically inhomogeneous plasma
The present work investigates the propagation of a radio pulse in an unmagnetized, statistically inhomogeneous plasma causing regular refraction and anisotropic scattering. Using the framework of geometrical optics, a Fokker-Planck equation is derived and integrated within a two-moment approximation. The method allows a continuous transition from weak to strong angular scattering and yields pul...
متن کاملKolmogorov’s law for two-dimensional electron-magnetohydrodynamic turbulence
The analogue of the Kolmogorov’s four-fifths law is derived for twodimensional, homogeneous, isotropic EMHD turbulence in the energy cascade inertial range. Direct numerical simulations for the freely decaying case show that this relation holds true for different values of the adimensional electron inertial length scale, de. The energy spectrum is found to be close to the expected Kolmogorov sp...
متن کاملElectron fractionalization in two-dimensional graphenelike structures.
Electron fractionalization is intimately related to topology. In one-dimensional systems, fractionally charged states exist at domain walls between degenerate vacua. In two-dimensional systems, fractionalization exists in quantum Hall fluids, where time-reversal symmetry is broken by a large external magnetic field. Recently, there has been a tremendous effort in the search for examples of frac...
