Clustering of the collisionless particles in a gravitational field and rotation curve

The problem of dark matter in present astrophysics has been disputed for a long time and has not been solved yet. More and more evidence shoves that mostly the dark matter is probably not baryonic, but the collisionless particles which only participate in the gravitational interaction. These collisionless particles can condense in any potential well and provide the "missing mass".     

Electron dynamics in collisionless magnetic reconnection with a PIC simulation

Two-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation is used to investigate electron dynamics in collisionless magnetic reconnection, and the proton/electron mass ratio is taken to be m _i /m _e = 256. The results show that the presence of a strong initial guide field will change the direction of the electron flow. The electron density cavities and the parallel electric field can be found in the electron inflow region along the separatrix, and the electron inflow and density cavities only appear in the second and fourth quadrants. What is different from the results with a smaller mass ratio is that new structures appear in the diffusion region near the X line: (1) Narrow regions of density enhancement and density cavities can be found synchronously in this region; and (2) corresponding to the electron density changes near the X line, the strong parallel electric fields are found to occur in the first and third quadrants. These electric fields perhaps play a more important role in acceleration and heating electrons than those fields located in the density cavities.

Electron density hole and quadruple structure of <Emphasis Type="Italic">B</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">y</Emphasis></Subscript> during collisionless magnetic reconnection

In collisionless reconnection,the magnetic field near the separatrix is stronger than that around the X-line,so an electron-beam can be formed and flows toward the X-line,which leads to a decrease of the electron density near the separatrix.Having been accelerated around the X-line,the electrons flow out along the magnetic field lines in the inner side of the separatrix.A quadruple structure of the Hall magnetic field By is formed by such a current system.A 2D particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation code is used ...

射频负偏压等离子体鞘层流体动力学模拟

采用流体动力学方法建立了一种自洽的无碰撞射频直流偏压等离子体鞘层动力学模型.模型中考虑了极板直流负偏压对离子运动的影响,模拟了在不同偏压条件下射频等离子体鞘层内各参量的时空演化特性.在该模型中,认为鞘层厚度是与时间有关的函数,并采用等效电路模型建立了鞘层瞬时厚度与鞘层电位降的关系.模拟结果表明,极板上电势呈非正弦周期性变化;鞘层厚度变化与极板电势变化周期相同,趋势相反,且略滞后于射频周期.
