2-dimensional (2-D) particle-in-cell simulations are performed to investigate electron dynamics in the lower hybrid drift instability (LHDI) of Harris current sheet. It is founded that the electric drift motion of electrons in the electric field of excited LHD waves will make positive charge accumulated at the inner edge of current sheet and negative charge accumulated at the outer layer. This redistribution of charge will create an electrostatic potential structure transverse to the current sheet and thus make the electron drift accelerated along the current sheet direction. This effect will strongly modify the current sheet structure.
Keywords:Low hybrid drift instability, particle-in-cell, electron dynamics，current sheet
