Particle-In-Cell simulations of circularly polarised Alfvén wave phase mixing: a new mechanism for electron acceleration in collisionless plasmas
David Tsiklauri, Jun-Ichi Sakai, Shinji Saito
In this work we used Particle-In-Cell simulations to study the interaction of circularly polarised Alfvén waves with one dimensional plasma density inhomogeneities transverse to th…

Phase mixing of shear Alfven waves as a new mechanism for electron acceleration in collisionless, kinetic plasmas
David Tsiklauri, Jun-Ichi Sakai, Shinji Saito
Particle-In-Cell (kinetic) simulations of shear Alfvén wave interaction with one dimensional, across the uniform magnetic field, density inhomogeneity (phase mixing) in collisionle…
