Kelvin–Helmholtz vortices at the magnetopause during northward IMF: multi-satellite observations of energy transport and plasma redistribution

The Kelvin–Helmholtz (KH) instability is a fundamental plasma process in many astrophysical environments; its vortices facilitate solar wind energy transport and plasma mixing. We investigate the energy flux density distribution and fluctuations of a typical KH vortex event obser...

A ComplexSpin-Transition Thermal Hysteresis Unlockedby Two Competing Symmetry-Breakings

Abstract The spin-crossover material [Fe(NH2trz)3](NO3)2 belongs to the class of 1D triazole-based polymeric SCO complexes. It exhibits a thermal phase transition, with a 28 K wide thermal hysteresis, characterized by phase transition temperatures T↑ = 346 K upon warming and T↓ =...
