Particle‐To‐Field Energy Conversion Inside a Magnetotail Flux Rope by C. X. Du, H. S. Fu, J. B. Cao, E. Grigorenko, Z. Z. Chen, Z. Wang, Z. Z. Guo, Z. Y. Xu, W. D. Fu

“…Meanwhile, we have revealed that such energy conversion is driven by an intense electron‐carried field‐aligned current and parallel electric field. Continually, based on the analysis of the electron velocity distribution functions and the power spectral density of the parallel electric field, we further discuss that the energy conversion probably results in the enhancement of the parallel electric field due to the anti‐parallel electron nonthermal population. …”
