Interfacial magnetic field structures induced by transverse electron-scale shear instability (mushroom instability) are found to be strongly associated with electron and ion dynamics, which in turn will influence the development of the instability itself. We find that high-frequency electron oscillations are excited normal to the shear interface. Also, on a larger time scale, the bulk of the ions are gradually separated under the influence of local magnetic fields, eventually reaching an equilibrium related to the initial shear conditions. We present a theoretical model of this behavior. Such separation on the scale of the electron skin depth will prevent different ions from mixing and will thereafter restrain the growth of higher-order instabilities. We also analyze the role of electron thermal motion in the generation of the magnetic field, and we find an increase in the instability growth rate with increasing plasma temperature. These results have potential for providing a more realistic description of relativistic plasma flows.

相对论剪切流中横向电子尺度界面不稳定性的动力学研究

发现由横向电子尺度剪切不稳定性(蘑菇不稳定性)引起的界面磁场结构与电子和离子动力学密切相关,这反过来又会影响不稳定性本身的发展。我们发现高频电子振荡垂直于剪切界面激发。此外,在更大的时间尺度上,大部分离子在局部磁场的影响下逐渐分离,最终达到与初始剪切条件相关的平衡。我们提出了这种行为的理论模型。这种在电子趋肤深度尺度上的分离将防止不同离子混合并随后抑制高阶不稳定性的增长。我们还分析了电子热运动在磁场产生中的作用,我们发现不稳定性增长率随着等离子体温度的升高而增加。这些结果有可能为相对论等离子体流提供更现实的描述。
