Dispersive effects of Hall electric field in turbulence
A familiar feature of turbulence in a low collisionality turbulence is an increase in the electric field spectrum, relative to the magnetic field spectrum, at wavenumbers near the reciprocal of the ion inertial scale. This effect is commonly observed in the solar wind. Here we examine this feature n...
