Ion and electron motions in the outer electron diffusion region of collisionless magnetic reconnection
Two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations are performed to study the coupling between ion and electron motions in collisionless magnetic reconnection. The electron diffusion region (EDR), where the electron motions are demagnetized, is found to have a two-layer structure: an inner EDR near the re...
