Temperature gradients are shown to deform and shift the magnetic islands that grow during fast collisionless reconnection when electron inertia decouples the plasma motion from the magnetic field. A kinetic electron model describes the collisionless processes during the reconnection of field lines originating in regions with different temperatures. Using a novel model of the reconnecting instability as a surface mode, the kinetic effects are treated analytically in the linear and nonlinear stages of the instability of a current-carrying low-beta plasma slab in a strong magnetic guide field.
当电子惯性使等离子体运动与磁场解耦时，温度梯度会使快速无碰撞重联过程中产生的磁岛发生变形和移动。一个动力学电子模型描述了源自不同温度区域的磁力线重联过程中的无碰撞过程。使用一种将重联不稳定性作为表面模式的新型模型，在强磁引导场中载流低β等离子体平板不稳定性的线性和非线性阶段，对动力学效应进行了分析处理。
