    Description: Author(s): Tobias M. R. Wolf, Oded Zilberberg, Ivan Levkivskyi, and Gianni Blatter The honeycomb lattice sets the basic arena for numerous ideas to implement electronic, photonic, or phononic topological bands in (meta-)materials. Novel opportunities to manipulate Dirac electrons in graphene through band engineering arise from superlattice potentials as induced by a substrate such... [Phys. Rev.

    Description: Author(s): M. Rodriguez-Vega, M. T. Simons, E. Radue, S. Kittiwatanakul, J. Lu, S. A. Wolf, R. A. Lukaszew, I. Novikova, and E. Rossi We study the thermal relaxation dynamics of VO 2 films after the ultrafast photoinduced metal-insulator transition for two VO 2 film samples grown on Al 2 O 3 and TiO 2 substrates. We find two orders of magnitude difference in the recovery time (a few nanoseconds for the VO 2 / Al 2 O 3 sample versus hundreds o… [Phys. Rev. B 92, 115420] Published Fri Sep 11, 2015

    Description: The Rice Convection Model deals with large-scale processes in the earth's inner and middle magnetosphere, including coupling to the ionosphere. Starting from appropriate initial and boundary conditions, the model computes the following physical parameters: ionospheric electric fields and currents; magnetospheric particle distributions, electric fields, and electric currents; and magnetic-field-aligned (Birkeland) currents connecting the two regions. This paper evaluates work on the model, with emphasis on the assumptions made, the basic equations, and the numerical methods. The theoretical basis of the model is compared and contrasted with standard magnetohydrodynamics. The limitations imposed by the major assumptions are discussed. Model inputs and boundary conditions are listed, and the methods of specifying them discussed. Some physical conclusions and insights that have been gained from the model are listed and described very briefly. References are given to published discussions of the major points of physics.

    Description: The interaction between the solar wind and the earth's vacuum dipole field leads to the formation of a discontinuity called the magnetopause. In the standard picture, the magnetopause confines the magnetic field in such a manner that the polar cusp field lines originate from high latitudes in the dayside ionosphere and end at the two magnetic neutral points. Wu (1983, 1984) has questioned this standard picture of the polar cusp. MHD simulations indicate the existence of a current sheet above the polar cusp region, called 'the cusp current sheet' by Wu. Wu (1983) concluded that the difference between his cusp configuration and the standard picture is due to the fact that his geometry results from a plasma model, whereas the standard picture is based on a vacuum concept. In the present investigation, Wu's conclusion is questioned, and it is demonstrated that the standard cusp configuration is not restricted to the vacuum magnetosphere.

    Description: Analyzed data from rocket flight, 29.007UE is presented. In a discrete electron arc the measured upward moving electrons are well accounted for by secondaries produced in collisional scattering of the measured downcoming electrons. No collective mechanisms need to invoke. The low energy downcoming electrons are accounted for by thermal plasma accelerated through a potential drop of a few kV that specularly reflects upward-moving lower energy electrons. No low altitude collective effects need to invoke in the arc. Simultaneous measurements of electric field by double probes on 29.007 and the Chatanika Radar allow one to infer that there are upward drifting ions above the discrete electron arc, and there is a westward neutral wind in the discrete arc. Two rocket payloads were built to investigate plasma effects in the pulsating aurora.

    Description: Results of a substorm simulation are used to investigate the penetration of substorm-associated electric fields into the plasmasphere. Near 4 earth radii in the equatorial plane, the time-dependent electric field model is characterized by eastward components in the dusk-midnight local time sector and westward components after midnight. With the exception of a small region just before dusk, the model predicts eastward electric field components throughout the daytime sector. The characteristic radial component is directed inward at all local times with the exception of a small region just after dawn. It is noted that these results compare favorably with available whistler and incoherent-scatter radar measurements obtained during magnetically disturbed periods. By assuming an initial plasmapause shape and by following the computed E x B drift trajectories of plasma flux tubes from that initial boundary, the short-term evolution of the plasmapause during the substorm-like event of September 19, 1976, is examined.

    Description: Results of the computer simulation of the behavior of the inner magnetosphere during the substorm-type event of September 19, 1976, are discussed. The computed electric fields are found to compare satisfactorily with electric fields measured from S3-2, although there are detailed differences. The three general features on which the model and observations are in good agreement are (1) the magnitude and direction of the high-latitude electric field, (2) the degree to which the low-latitude ionosphere is shielded from the high-latitude convection electric field, and (3) the fact that the poleward electric field on the duskside is significantly larger, on the average, than the equatorward electric field on the dawnside. Simple formulas are presented that give rough estimates of global Joule heating rates from observable parameters.

    Description: Results of a comprehensive computer simulation of the behavior of the earth's inner magnetosphere during a substorm-type event are reported. It is pointed out that the computer model self-consistently computes electric fields, currents, and plasma distributions and velocities in the inner-magnetosphere/ionosphere system; parallel electric fields and ionospheric neutral winds, however, are not included. The basic equations of the model are derived, and the inputs are described. An overview of the results is also given. The first appendix contains derivations of general, useful laws of bounce-averaged gradient, curvature, and E x B drifts in a plasma with isotropic pitch angle distribution. The second appendix gives a description of the numerical method used in the simulation.

    Description: The first effort at computer simulating the behavior of the inner magnetosphere during a substorm-type event on 19 September 1976 was completed. The computer model simulates many aspects of the behavior of the closed-field-line portion of the earth's magnetosphere, and the auroral and subauroral ionosphere. For these regions, the program self-consistently computes electric fields, electric currents, hot-plasma densities, plasma flow velocities and other parameters. Highlights of the results of our event simulation are presented. Predicted electric fields for several times during the event agree reasonably well with corresponding data from satellite S3-2. Detailed discussion is presented for a case of rapid subauroral flow that was observed on one S3-2 pass and is predicted by the computer runs. The computed global distribution of Birkeland current agrees reasonably well with the observations of Iijima and Potemra.

    Description: Substorm currents derived from the Rice University computer simulation of the September 19, 1976 substorm event are used to compute theoretical magnetograms as a function of universal time for various stations, integrating the Biot-Savart law over a maze of about 2700 wires and bands that carry the ring, Birkeland and horizontal ionospheric currents. A comparison of theoretical results with corresponding observations leads to a claim of general agreement, especially for stations at high and middle magnetic latitudes. Model results suggest that the ground magnetic field perturbations arise from complicated combinations of different kinds of currents, and that magnetic field disturbances due to different but related currents cancel each other out despite the inapplicability of Fukushima's (1973) theorem. It is also found that the dawn-dusk asymmetry in the horizontal magnetic field disturbance component at low latitudes is due to a net downward Birkeland current at noon, a net upward current at midnight, and, generally, antisunward-flowing electrojets.
