The study of beam–plasma interactions is important in many research fields, such as astrophysics, inertial confinement fusion, and high-energy density physics. Considering the significant impact electromagnetic fields on evolution systems, comprehensive three-dimensional modeling system needed. In this work, a relativistic particle-in-cell code IBMP3D developed for investigations beam transport plasmas. To save computation time achieve fast simulation, dynamic array data structure combined...
Potassium ion channels are essential elements in cellular electrical excitability and help maintain a resting potential nonexcitable cells. Their universality is based on unique combination of strong selectivity for K^{+} ions near-diffusion-limited permeation efficiency. Understanding how the channel regulates conduction would be instructive to treatment channelopathies. In this work, by means molecular dynamics simulations, we demonstrate significantly enhanced KcsA reaction an external...

It found that after the well known self-modulation effect, secondary occurs, leading to trimodal spectrum beam. accuracy “focusing regions” concept by comparing phase relation wakefield and beam density. Furthermore, form induced two counter-propagation verified.
An accurate understanding of ion-beam transport in plasmas is crucial for applications inertial fusion energy and high-energy-density physics.
