<p>Separatrices of magnetic reconnection host intense perpendicular Hall electric fields produced by decoupling of ion and electron components and associated with the in-plane electrostatic potential drop between inflow and outflow regions. The width of these structures is several local electron inertial lengths, which is small enough to demagnetize ions as they cross the layer. We investigate temperature dependence of ion acceleration at separatrices by means of 2D Particle-in-Cell (PIC) simulations of magnetic reconnection with only cold or hot ion background population. The separatrix Hall electric field is balanced by the inertia term in cold background simulations, the effect indicative of the quasi-steady local perpendicular acceleration. The electric field introduces a cross-field beam of unmagnetized particles which makes the temperature strongly non-gyrotropic and susceptible to sub-ion scale instabilities. This acceleration mechanism nearly vanishes for hot ion background simulations. Particle-in-cell simulations are complemented by one-dimensional test particle calculations, which show that the hot ion particles experience scattering in energies after crossing the accelerating layer, whereas cold ions are uniformly energized up to the energies comparable to the electrostatic potential drop between the inflow and outflow regions.</p>

Thin and single MoS2 flakes are envisioned to contribute to the flexible nanoelectronics, particularly in sensing, optoelectronics and energy harvesting. Thus, it is important to study their stability and local surface reactivity. Their most straightforward surface reactions in this context pertain to thermally induced interactions with atmospheric oxygen. This review focuses on local and thermally induced interactions of MoS2 crystals and single MoS2 flakes. First, experimentally observed data for oxygen-mediated thermally induced morphological and chemical changes of the MoS2 crystals and single MoS2 flakes are presented. Second, state-of-the-art mechanistic insight from computer simulations and arising open questions are discussed. Finally, the properties and fate of the Mo oxides arising from thermal oxidation are reviewed, and future directions into the research of the local MoS2/MoOx interface are provided.
