Spontaneous magnetization of collisionless plasma through the action of a shear flow
Muni Zhou, Vladimir Zhdankin, Matthew W. Kunz +2
We study in a fully kinetic framework the generation of seed magnetic fields through the Weibel instability driven in an initially unmagnetized plasma by a large-scale shear force.…

Statistical description of coalescing magnetic islands via magnetic reconnection
Muni Zhou, David H. Wu, Nuno F. Loureiro +1
The physical picture of interacting magnetic islands provides a useful paradigm for certain plasma dynamics in a variety of physical environments, such as the solar corona, the hel…
