Electron-scale Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities (ESKHI) are present in a number of astrophysical situations. Naturally ESKHI is subject to a background magnetic area, however an analytical dispersion relation and an accurate development price of ESKHI under this circumstance are lengthy absent, as former MHD derivations usually are not applicable within the relativistic regime. We current a generalized dispersion relation of ESKHI in relativistic magnetized shear flows, with few assumptions. ESKHI linear development charges in certain instances are numerically calculated. We conclude that the presence of an external magnetic field decreases the maximum instability progress charge typically, however can slightly enhance it when the shear velocity is sufficiently excessive. Also, the external magnetic discipline leads to a larger cutoff wavenumber of the unstable band and increases the wavenumber of the most unstable mode. PIC simulations are carried out to confirm our conclusions, where we additionally observe the suppressing of kinetic DC magnetic field generation, ensuing from electron gyration induced by the exterior magnetic subject. Electron-scale Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (ESKHI) is a shear instability that takes place at the shear boundary where a gradient in velocity is current.

Despite the significance of shear instabilities, ESKHI was only acknowledged recently (Gruzinov, [Wood Ranger official](https://shrnkme.site/damionhallstro) 2008) and [Wood Ranger Power Shears](https://git.the.mk/mickirincon376) stays to be largely unknown in physics. KHI is stable beneath a such condition (Mandelker et al., 2016). These make ESKHI a promising candidate to generate magnetic fields in the relativistic jets. ESKHI was first proposed by Gruzinov (2008) within the restrict of a chilly and collisionless plasma, the place he additionally derived the analytical dispersion relation of ESKHI growth rate for symmetrical shear flows. PIC simulations later confirmed the existence of ESKHI (Alves et al., 2012), finding the generation of typical electron vortexes and magnetic discipline. It is noteworthy that PIC simulations additionally discovered the era of a DC magnetic discipline (whose common alongside the streaming direction isn't zero) in company with the AC magnetic area induced by ESKHI, whereas the former is just not predicted by Gruzinov. The technology of DC magnetic fields is because of electron thermal diffusion or mixing induced by ESKHI throughout the shear interface (Grismayer et al., [Wood Ranger official](http://giteaiposeek.cn/hectorneilson1) 2013), which is a kinetic phenomenon inevitable in the settings of ESKHI.
