Observational Properties of Harmonic EMIC Waves: Statistical Study
Electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves are discrete electromagnetic emissions separated by multiple ion gyrofrequencies. Harmonic EMIC waves are defined as waves with a strong electric or magnetic field (or both) at the harmonics of the fundamental ...

Calculating Quasi‐Linear Diffusion Rates Using Different Methods to Specify the Wave Spectrum
Abstract Quasi‐linear diffusion theory is widely used in radiation belt modeling to describe resonant interactions between charged particles and electromagnetic waves. The diffusion rates depend on the wave spectrum and properties of the background plasma.

Hiss Wave Evolution During Substorms Based on Van Allen Probes Observations
Abstract Hiss waves frequently occur in the plasmasphere or plumes, playing a key role in energetic electron loss in the Earth's inner magnetosphere. While previous studies have linked hiss wave enhancements in the outer plasmasphere (just inside the plasmapause) to electron injections during substorms, their evolution across various substorm phases ...

Modeling the EMIC Wave‐Induced Acceleration of Energetic Protons in the Io Footprint Tail
Abstract The Io footprint tail (FPT) region is crucial for studying the interactions between Io and Jupiter's magnetosphere. In this region, Juno spacecraft observed significant acceleration of energetic protons, concurrently with electromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves below the proton gyro‐frequency.

Abrupt Disappearance of Plasmaspheric Hiss Inside the Magnetic Dip
Abstract Plasmaspheric hiss plays an important role in radiation belt electron dynamics, and its excitation and propagation have long attracted attention. During a substorm, Van Allen Probe B observed the disappearance of plasmaspheric hiss at the magnetic dip, which was driven by the injection of energetic protons.

Imperfection in Semiconductors Leading to High Performance Devices
Crystalline perfection is typically pursued in semiconductors to enhance device performance. However, through modeling and experimental work, we show that defects can be strategically employed in a specific detection regime to increase sensitivity to extreme values. GaN diodes are demonstrated to effectively detect high‐energy proton beams at fluxes as

First evidence of patchy flickering aurora modulated by multi‐ion electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves [PDF]
AbstractElectromagnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves, one of the possible origins of flickering aurora, have been thought to modulate the electron flux at a few thousand kilometers. In fact, flickering aurora with a frequency range of 3–15 Hz has often been identified by ground‐based optical observations and has been interpreted to be caused by O+‐band ...

Stochastic Acceleration of Low Energy Electrons in Cold Plasmas [PDF]
We investigate the possibility of stochastic acceleration of background low-energy electrons by turbulent plasma waves. We consider the resonant interaction of the charged particles with all branches of the transverse plasma waves propagating parallel to
