Self-oscillators are intriguing due to their ability to sustain periodic motion without periodic stimulus. They remain rare as achieving such behavior requires a balance of energy input, dissipation and non-linear feedback mechanism. Here,…

An alternative explanation to the mechanism behind self-sustained oscillations of ions in direct current (DC) glow discharges is provided. Such description is distinguished from the one provided by the fluid models, where oscillations are…

In almost all of plasma theories for astrophysical objects, we have assumed the charge quasi-neutrality of unmagnetized plasmas in global scales. This assumption has been justified because if there is a charged plasma, it induces electric…

We analyse the full shock formation process in electron-ion plasmas in theory and simulations. It is accepted that electromagnetic shocks in initially unmagnetised relativistic plasmas are triggered by the filamentation instability.…

We study the electron-acoustic instabilities in plasmas with two kappa-distributed electrons and stationary ions. The instabilities are driven by the relative drift between two electron components. The suprathermal effects of different…

We propose a new two-fluid model for a partially ionized magnetoplasma under gravity, where electrons and neutrals are treated as a single fluid, and singly charged positive ions are a separate fluid. We observe that the classical result of…

Thermal electrons cannot directly participate in the process of diffusive acceleration at electron-ion shocks because their Larmor radii are smaller than the shock transition width: this is the well-known electron injection problem of…

Quantum oscillations, conventionally thought to be a metallic property, have recently been shown to arise in certain kinds of insulators, with properties very different from those in metals. All departures from the canonical behavior found…
