摘　　要：在以下两个方面回顾了磁岛在无碰撞磁场重联中的作用:磁能到等离子体动能和热能的快速转化以及高能量电子的产生.重联的X点附近的电流片可能被拉伸并导致撕裂模不稳定性,并形成相互作用的次级磁岛.这种非稳态的磁场重联图像可以维持长时间的高重联率,进而有效地耗散磁能.电子可在磁岛内通过费米和betatron机制加速,也可在X点附近通过重联电场加速.磁岛间的相互作用可进一步加速电子.这些加速过程可导致高能量电子的幂律谱分布.The roles of magnetic islands were reviewed in two essential aspects of collisionless magnetic reconnection:rapid dissipation from magnetic energy to plasma kinetic energy and generation of energetic electrons.The current sheet around the X line may be extended and unstable to the tearing mode instability.Secondary magnetic islands are generated and then consequentially interact each other in the extended current sheet.Such a nonstationary magnetic reconnection can maintain a large reconnection rate for a long time and efficiently dissipate magnetic energy.Electrons can be accelerated inside magnetic islands by Fermi and betatron mechanisms,as well as by reconnection electric field in the vicinity of the X line.The interaction of magnetic islands can result in further electron acceleration.These acceleration processes can make energetic electrons possess a power-law spectrum.
