Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. Plasma turbulence can result in significant distortion of probing and receiving microwave beams, and this effect can modify the registered spectrum in a collective Thomson scattering (CTS) experiment….
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. We investigated incompressible and compressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) energy cascade rates in the solar wind at different heliocentric distances. We used in situ magnetic field and plasma observat…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. Electron cyclotron harmonic (ECH) waves, contributing significantly to magnetospheric dynamics, usually appear as a series of harmonics between the multiples of electron gyrofrequency. Previous studie…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. In this work, we describe a [math] particle simulation method where the bulk density is periodically remapped on a coarse spline grid using a forward–backward Lagrangian approach. This method is desig…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. Strongly coupled systems occupying the transitional range between the Wigner crystal and fluid phases are the most dynamic constituents of the nature. Highly localized but strongly interacting element…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. A recent study by Shah et al. [Astrophys. Space Sci. 366(2), 22 (2021)] explored the effects of large-scale solar wind structures on relativistic electron fluxes in the slot region and categorized the…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. Although drift-ordered fluid models are widely applied in tokamak edge turbulence simulations, the models used are acknowledged not to conserve energy or even electrical charge. The present paper aims…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. A voltage-driven cathode sheath model in an atmospheric-pressure argon arc discharge is developed in the framework of an implicit particle-in-cell Monte Carlo collision (PIC–MCC) method. Plasma transp…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. Properties of self-excited dust acoustic waves under the influence of active compression of the dust particle system were experimentally studied in the laboratory and under microgravity conditions (pa…
Physics of Plasmas, Volume 30, Issue 3, March 2023. Spatially combining multiple strong laser beams is a promising concept for achieving ultrahigh laser intensities. Proof-of-principle experiments have been conducted at the National Ignition Facility t…
