Simultaneous macroscale and microscale wave–ion interaction in near-earth space plasmas [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2022 Cross-scale energy transfers in collisionless plasmas help understanding involved mechanisms. Here, the authors show simultaneous macro- and micro-scale wave-ion interactions provide an efficient mechanism for cross-scale energy transfer and plasma ...

On the Existence of Subsonic Solitary Waves Associated with Reconnection Jets in Earth’s Magnetotail
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The Magnetospheric Multiscale Spacecraft (MMS) has detected the signature of electrostatic solitary waves (ESWs) occurring in the reconnection jet site of the Earth’s magnetotail (Liu et al.). These observations have motivated us to explore the mechanism

Direct Observations of Reconnection Fronts in Earth's Turbulent Magnetosheath
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Reconnection fronts (RFs), ion-scale magnetic transients characterized by dramatic enhancement of reconnected magnetic fields, have been documented as crucial energy transfer regions during magnetic reconnection.

Successive Energy Conversion at a Stepwise Dipolarization Front
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 Dipolarization fronts (DFs), ion-scale magnetic structures characterized by sharp enhancement of northward magnetic field developed within plasma jets, have been suggested to play a crucial role in the energy transfer chain in the terrestrial magnetotail.

Evidence of Large-Scale Quantization in Space Plasmas
Entropy, 2013 In plasmas, Debye screening structures the possible correlations between particles. We identify a phase space minimum h* in non-equilibrium space plasmas that connects the energy of particles in a Debye sphere to an equivalent wave frequency.

Electrostatic Solitary Structures in Space Plasmas: Soliton Perspective
Plasma, 2021 Occurrence of electrostatic solitary waves (ESWs) is ubiquitous in space plasmas, e.g., solar wind, Lunar wake and the planetary magnetospheres. Several theoretical models have been proposed to interpret the observed characteristics of the ESWs.

Quasi-parallel whistler mode waves observed by THEMIS during near-earth dipolarizations [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2009 We report on quasi-parallel whistler emissions detected by the near-earth satellites of the THEMIS mission before, during, and after local dipolarization. These emissions are associated with an electron temperature anisotropy α=T⊥e/T||e>1

Suprathermal electron acceleration during reconnection onset in the magnetotail [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 2011 We study one event of reconnection onset associated to a small substorm on 27 September 2006 by using Cluster observations at inter-spacecraft separation of about 10 000 km.

Evidence of entropy cascade in collisionless magnetized plasma turbulence
Communications Physics, 2022 Turbulence of collisionless magnetized plasmas is ubiquitous in space as well as laboratory plasmas, and as such is subject to intense study. The authors present experimental evidence of the existence of entropy cascade by direct visualization of entropy
