Fast Tearing Mode Driven by Demagnetized Electrons

Abstract Recent MMS observations have discovered electron‐scale super‐thin current sheets (STCSs) with a partial electron demagnetization, which distinguishes them from the ion‐scale TCSs traditionally observed by the Cluster mission. Our investigation focuses on the dynamics of STCSs and reveals ne...
