Scientific paper

We have performed full-particle shock simulations in a two-dimensional system to study how the shock tangential structure is important for electrostatic potential structures, which are excited in the foot region of a quasi-perpendicular shock. In the two-dimensional system, the shape of the electrostatic potential structure is not stable and is quickly transformed to isolated structures in both shock normal and tangential directions. The solitary structure is a result of an electromagnetic effect. The electric currents excited by the electron ExB drift motion diverge the potential structures.
