We demonstrate how a single scanning voltage probe can be used to map the local conductivity and current density in a thin film with no a priori knowledge of the geometry of the electrical contacts. With state-of-the-art scanning voltage probes, under appropriate conditions such mapping should be possible down to nanometer scales. The technique requires two non-colinear voltage scans. When only one voltage map is available, determination of the conductivity is not possible because the solution to the governing equation is not unique. The only restriction on the technique is that the sheet conductivity is a local function of position.

We report on the ab initio discovery of a novel putative ground state for quasi two-dimensional TiO$_2$ through a structural search using the minima hopping method with an artificial neural network potential. The structure is based on a honeycomb lat
tice and is energetically lower than the experimentally reported lepidocrocite sheet by 7~meV/atom, and merely 13~meV/atom higher in energy than the ground state rutile bulk structure. According to our calculations, the hexagonal sheet is stable against mechanical stress, it is chemically inert and can be deposited on various substrates without disrupting the structure. Its properties differ significantly from all known TiO$_2$ bulk phases with a large gap of 5.05~eV that can be tuned through strain engineering.
We study the evolution of the magnetic field in a Y-type current sheet subject to a brief, localized magnetic reconnection event. The reconnection produces up- and down-flowing reconnected flux tubes which rapidly decelerate when they hit the Y-lines
and underlying magnetic arcade loops at the ends of the current sheet. This localized reconnection outflow followed by a rapid deceleration reproduces the observed behavior of post-CME downflowing coronal voids. These simulations support the hypothesis that these observed coronal downflows are the retraction of magnetic fields reconnected in localized patches in the high corona.
We report on the structure and evolution of a current sheet that formed in the wake of an eruptive X8.3 flare observed at the west limb of the Sun on September 10, 2017. Using observations from the EUV Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) on Hinode and the Atm
ospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) on the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO), we find that plasma in the current sheet reaches temperatures of about 20 MK and that the range of temperatures is relatively narrow. The highest temperatures occur at the base of the current sheet, in the region near the top of the post-flare loop arcade. The broadest high temperature line profiles, in contrast, occur at the largest observed heights. Further, line broadening is strong very early in the flare and diminishes over time. The current sheet can be observed in the AIA 211 and 171 channels, which have a considerable contribution from thermal bremsstrahlung at flare temperatures. Comparisons of the emission measure in these channels with other EIS wavelengths and AIA channels dominated by Fe line emission indicate a coronal composition and suggest that the current sheet is formed by the heating of plasma already in the corona. Taken together, these observations suggest that some flare heating occurs in the current sheet while additional energy is released as newly reconnected field lines relax and become more dipolar.
We report on the discovery of a 2-dimensional copper-bismuth nano sheet from textit{ab initio} calculations, which we call cubine. According to our predictions, single layers of cubine can be isolated from the recently reported high-pressure CuBi bul
k material (metastable at ambient conditions) at an energetic cost of merely $approx 20$~meV/AA$^2$, comparable to separating single layers of graphene from graphite. Our calculations suggest that cubine has remarkable electronic and electrochemical properties: It is a superconductor with a moderate electron-phonon coupling $lambda=0.5$, leading to a $T_c$ of $approx1$~K, and can be readily intercalated with lithium with a high diffusibility, rendering it a promising candidate material as an anode in lithium-ion batteries.
Axisymmetric current-carrying plasmoids are formed in the presence of nonaxisymmetric fluctuations during nonlinear three-dimensional resistive MHD simulations in a global toroidal geometry. We utilize the helicity injection technique to form an init
ial poloidal flux in the presence of a toroidal guide field. As helicity is injected, two types of current sheets are formed from 1) the oppositely directed field lines in the injector region (primary reconnecting current sheet), and 2) the poloidal flux compression near the plasma edge (edge current sheet). We first find that nonaxisymmetic fluctuations arising from the current-sheet instability isolated near the plasma edge have tearing parity but can nevertheless grow fast (on the poloidal Alfven time scale). These modes saturate by breaking up the current sheet. Second, for the first time a dynamo poloidal flux amplification is observed at the reconnetion site (in the region of the oppositely directed magnetic field). This fluctuation-induced flux amplification increases the local Lundquist number, which then triggers a plasmoid instability and breaks the primary current sheet at the reconnection site. The plasmoids formation driven by large-scale flux amplification, i.e. a large-scale dynamo, observed here has strong implications for astrophysical reconnection as well as fast reconnection events in laboratory plasmas.
