Non-adiabatic electron behaviour due to short-scale electric field structures at collisionless shock waves
Under sufficiently high electric field gradients, electron behaviour within exactly perpendicular shocks is unstable to the so-called trajectory instability. We extend previous work paying special attention to short-scale, high-amplitude structures as observed within the electric field profile....
