The microphysics of the intracluster medium (ICM) in galaxy clusters is still poorly understood. Observational evidence suggests that the effective viscosity is suppressed by plasma instabilities that reduce the mean free path of particles.…

Intrinsic localized modes (ILMs) in a quasi-1D antiferromagnetic material (C2H5NH3)2CuCl4 are counted by using a novel nonlinear energy magnetometer. The ILMs are produced by driving the uniform spin wave mode unstable with an intense…
