Investigating particle acceleration dynamics in interpenetrating magnetized collisionless super-critical shocks
2023
Colliding collisionless shocks appear in a great variety of astrophysical phenomena and are thought to be possible sources of particle acceleration in the Universe. We have previously investigated particle acceleration induced by single super-critical shocks (whose magnetosonic Mach number is higher than the critical value of 2.7) (Yao et al., Nat. Phys., vol. 17, issue 10, 2021, pp. 1177–1182; Yao et al., Matter Radiat. Extrem., vol. 7, issue 1, 2022, 014402), as well as the collision of two sub-critical shocks (Fazzini et al., Astron. Astrophys., vol. 665, 2022, A87). Here, we propose to make measurements of accelerated particles from interpenetrating super-critical shocks to observe the …
Linear and nonlinear spin dynamics in multi-domain magnetoelastic antiferromagnets
2021
Antiferromagnets have recently surged as the prominent material platform for the next generation spintronics devices. Despite the remarkable abundance of antiferromagnets and the variety of their spin textures in nature, they share a widely common, if not ubiquitous, feature. Magnetoelasticity, which is expressed as strictions of different origin, relativistic and/or exchange, significantly contributes to the magnetic anisotropy of antiferromagnets. Crucially, a general theoretical framework able to address the role of domain walls on the spin dynamics in antiferromagnets in the presence of magnetoelasticity is lacking. Here we tackle this problem developing a very general macroscopic pheno…
