摘要
Magnetic pushing of plasmas is an important fundamental phenomena in plasma physics. In the presence of strong plasma-density gradients, Hall-magnetohydrodynamics forces can lead to penetration of the magnetic field into the plasma. For multicomponent plasmas, simulations show that the magnetic field can penetrate the heavy-ion component of the plasma while simultaneously pushing the light ions. Images are presented of the simulated plasma densities showing the resulting species separation.
