Abstract Magnetic reconnection hosts regions of enhanced temperature anisotropy that could excite various kinetic instabilities and waves. However, the relation between electron firehose instability and the leading edge ...

In this review, we focus on the experimental demonstration of enhanced emission from single plasmonic tunneling junctions consisting of coupled nano antennas or noble metal tips on metallic substrates in scanning tunneli...

Abstract A statistical survey using 3 years of Van Allen Probes data from 2013 to 2015 is conducted to investigate the impact of broadband kinetic Alfvén waves (KAWs) on the pitch angle distributions (PADs) of relativi...

Due to the advantages of narrow energy distribution of plasmonic hot-electrons in Ag and the high density of states in the TiO2 conduction band, an Ag/TiO2 composite is considered to be an ideal combination to construct ...

Abstract Magnetic nulls are traditionally suggested as main points where energy dissipation occurs during reconnection. Such nulls have been widely observed in the diffusion region of standard reconnection following a tw...

The generation of nonclassical light states bears a paramount importance in quantum optics and is largely relying on the interaction between intense laser pulses and nonlinear media. Recently, electron beams, such as tho...

We study the surface plasmon (SP) resonance energy of isolated spherical Ag nanoparticles dispersed on a silicon nitride substrate in the diameter range 3.5–26 nm with monochromated electron energy-loss spectroscopy. A...

Graphene is an ideal material for hot-electron bolometers due to its low heat capacity and weak electron-phonon coupling. Nanostructuring graphene with quantum-dot constrictions yields detectors of electromagnetic radiat...
