Abstract
The Hall effect in a plasma flow orthogonal to the magnetic field and invariable in the magnetic field direction can give rise to filamentation of the magnetic flux, splitting it into narrow flux tubes (filaments). This process is due to particular features of the magnetic field generation process in Hall plasmas. The analytical results obtained previously for sharply nonuniform perturbations of the smoothly varying flows of such plasmas are here extended to arbitrary gas-to-magnetic pressure ratios β. The revealed phenomena can be manifested both in laboratory plasmas and under natural conditions (on the Sun).
