Effect of flow-aligned external magnetic fields on mushroom instability
Y. Guo, D. Wu, J. Zhang
Mushroom instability (MI) is a shear instability considered responsible for generating and amplifying magnetic fields in relativistic jets. While astrophysical jets are usually mag…
From Filamentation to Stratification: Instability Dynamics in Scissors-Shaped Relativistic Beam-Plasma System
Xu Liu, Dong Wu, Jie Zhang
Counter-streaming systems are a canonical model for beam-plasma instabilities, such as the filamentation instability, which is critical in high energy density physics. However, sce…
Electron-scale Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in magnetized shear flows
Yao Guo, Dong Wu, Jie Zhang
Electron-scale Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities (ESKHI) are found in several astrophysical scenarios. Naturally ESKHI is subject to a background magnetic field, but an analytical dis…
Harris Dispersion Relation and Bernstein Modes in Dense Magnetized Quantum Plasmas
T. X. Hu, D. Wu, J. Zhang
The Bernstein wave is a well-known electrostatic eigen-mode in magnetized plasmas, and it is of broad connection to multiple disciplines, such as controlled nuclear fusions and ast…
