Compound ion distributions, fi(v), have been measured by NASA's Magnetospheric Multi-Scale Mission (MMS) and have been found in reconnection simulations. A complex distribution, fi(v), consisting, for example, of essentially disjoint pieces…

Energizing background ions plays a pivotal role in all forms of thermal nuclear fusion, as it can increase the fusion reaction rate without affecting the overall mechanical equilibrium. This is particularly critical for p11B fusion due to…

Transport in a one-dimensional symmetric device can be activated by the combination of thermal noise and a bi-harmonic drive. For the study case of an overdamped Brownian particle diffusing on a periodic one-dimensional substrate, we…
