Pulsar wind nebulae are efficient particle accelerators, and yet the processes at work remain elusive. Self-generated, microturbulence is too weak in relativistic magnetized shocks to accelerate particles over a wide energy range,…

Ion acoustic (IA) solitons are accompanied by vortex-shaped nonlinear structures (e.g. hollows, plateaus or humps) in the electron distribution function, called electron holes, portraying trapped electrons. These structures appear as…

Experiments have confirmed that double monolayer graphene cannot generate finite temperature electron-hole superfluidity. This has been shown to be due to very strong screening of the electron-hole pairing attraction. The linear dispersing…
