Oblique streaming waves observed in multipactor-induced plasma discharge above a dielectric surface

Haomin Sun, Guang-Yu Sun

In a recent discovery (Wen et al 2022 Phys. Rev. Lett. 129 045001), streaming waves were found in multipactor-induced plasma discharges. However, due to the limitations of a 1D simulation setup, these waves displayed only transverse dynamics. In this lette ...

Natural slicks on Lake Geneva: From small-scale effects to large-scale formation and distribution

Mehrshad Foroughan

Low wind speeds (< 4 m/s) are ubiquitous in many water bodies, yet the physical processes occurring at the air-water interface in this range are poorly understood. A notable example is smooth patches on the water surface, known as natural slicks, formed wh ...
