In the standard model of solar flares, energy deposition by a beam of electrons drives strong chromospheric evaporation leading to a significantly denser corona and much brighter emission across the spectrum. Chromospheric evaporation was…
The physics of an electron solid, held on a cryogenic liquid surface by a pressing electric field, is examined in a low-density regime that has not been explored before. We consider the effect of the pressing field in distorting the surface…
I consider a dielectric fluid heated from above and subjected to an electric potential difference between its top and bottom. I show that for a suitably chosen electric potential difference, the layer of fluid can become unstable. For the…
The collision of two expanding plasma clouds is investigated, emphasizing instabilities and electron energization in the plasma mixing layer. This work is directly relevant to laboratory experiments with explosively-created laser or z-pinch…
Quantitative description of reaction mechanisms in aqueous phase electrochemistry requires experimental characterization of local water structure at the electrode/aqueous interface and its evolution with changing potential. Gaining such…
We studied the macro evolution of the micro atmospheric glow discharge generated between a micro argon jet into ambient air and static water. The micro discharge behaves similarly to a complex ecosystem. Non-linear behaviors are found for…
Drop impact onto a thin liquid film of another liquid is observed and characterized using a high-speed video system. A new mode of splash - a complete, simultaneous corona detachment - has been observed, which is the result of the lamella…
Water desalination by capacitive deionization (CDI) is performed via electrochemical cells consisting of two porous carbon electrodes. Upon transferring charge from one electrode to the other, ions are removed from the feedwater by…

A mechanism of self-heating of solar corona is pointed out. It is shown that the free energy available in the form of sheared flows gives rise to unstable electrostatic waves which accelerate the particles and heat them. The electrostatic…
The present paper is a concluding part of the series [N.B. Volkov and A.M. Iskoldsky: 1; 2; [1], [2]]. Here on the basis of the results of the above papers the experiments on the electric explosion in conductors have been discussed and the…
Effects of the electron-electron interaction on tunneling into a metal in ultra-high magnetic field (ultra-quantum limit) are studied. The range of the interaction is found to have a decisive effect both on the nature of the field-induced…
We report on the dynamics of a pair of sessile droplets that are connected by a microchannel, yet open to the atmosphere and hence free to evaporate. Our results reveal that fluid exchange between droplets occurs via a pumping flow driven…
Electrostatic cooling is known to occur in conductors and in porous electrodes in contact with aqueous electrolytes. Here we present for the first time evidence of electrostatic cooling at the junction of two electrolyte phases. These are,…
When a colloidal gel dries through evaporation, cracks are usually formed, which often reveal underlying processes at work during desiccation. Desiccating colloid droplets of few hundred $\mu l$ size show interesting effects of pattern…
