• Rapid scattering of radiation belt electrons by storm‐time EMIC waves (2010, background): “[4] Both quasi‐linear [e.g., Shprits et al., 2006] and nonlinear [Albert and Bortnik, 2009] electron scattering mechanisms by EMIC waves are effective only when electrons are in cyclotron resonance with the waves.”
• Transit time scattering of energetic electrons due to equatorially confined magnetosonic waves (2010, background): “…OF GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH, VOL. 115, A07213, doi:10.1029/2010JA015283, 2010 A07213 1 of 8 low background magnetic field inhomogeneity [e.g., Omura et al., 2008; Bortnik et al., 2008; Albert and Bortnik, 2009] requires an assessment of whether nonlinear processes might affect the electron dynamics.”
• Earth's Van Allen Radiation Belts: From Discovery to the Van Allen Probes Era (2019, background): “Albert and Bortnik (2009) developed analytical expressions to describe electron scattering caused by a single‐frequency EMIC wave with a constant wave amplitude (2 nT) and showed that the nonlinear interactions, particularly phase bunching, typically lead to advection toward larger pitch angles,…”
• Radiation belt dynamics: The importance of wave‐particle interactions (2010, methodology): “Observed properties of EMIC waves have been used to evaluate rates of quasi‐linear pitch‐angle scattering [Loto’aniu et al., 2006b; Ukhorskiy et al., 2010], and test particle scattering has been performed for large amplitude EMIC waves [Albert and Bortnik, 2009; Liu et al., 2010].”
• Resonant scattering of outer zone relativistic electrons by multiband EMIC waves and resultant electron loss time scales (2015, background): “…addition, when EMIC wave amplitudes are large, nonlinear resonant interactions can occur, leading to advection toward large pitch angles [Albert and Bortnik, 2009] and flattening of pitch angle distribution caused by nonlinear phase trapping and bunching [Liu et al., 2012], both of which will…”
• Global characteristics of electromagnetic ion cyclotron waves: Occurrence rate and its storm dependence (2013, background): “[3] EMIC waves can interact with radiation belt electrons via Doppler-shifted cyclotron resonance and cause the pitch angle scattering of the electrons and their loss into the atmosphere [e.g., Thorne and Kennel, 1971; Lyons and Thorne, 1972; Horne and Thorne, 1998; Summers et al., 1998; Friedel et ”
