Tearing mode analysis in electron magnetohydrodynamics with pressure gradient

A two-dimensional three-component (2D/3C) electron magnetohydrodynamic (EMHD) model is implemented to investigate the linear behavior of collisionless tearing modes in slab geometry. Owing to nonuniformity of thermal pressure and plasma density, the electron diamagnetic drift and Biermann battery ef...
