Numerical studies on electron magnetohydrodynamics tearing mode instability

The 2D electron-magnetohydrodynamics (EMHD) dominant tearing mode in an electron-skin-depth-scale current sheet (ECS) is further studied. The resistive diffusion is proved to be insignificant at the scale. Electron inertia leads to the expansion of the “inner region” as well as a wider saturation is...
