This paper investigates the changes in spatial properties when magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves undergo resonant damping in the Alfv\'en continuum. The analysis is carried out for a 1D cylindrical pressure-less plasma with a straight…
Recent work has shown the existence of a relativistic effect present in a single component non-equilibrium fluid, corresponding to a heat flux due to an electric field. The treatment in that work was limited to a four-dimensional Minkowksi…
Screening of an external random potential by a two dimensional (2D) Fermi liquid may be strongly dependent on the degree of its polarization. This is considered as a possible mechanism for the observed strong magnetoresistance of the 2D…
