                         quadrupole pattern of the Hall magnetic field, which is commonly 
                         observed in a symmetric reconnection, is still evident in an 
                         asymmetric component reconnection, but the two quadrants adjacent 
                         to the magnetosphere are strongly compressed into the electron 
                         scale and the widths of the remaining two quadrants are still ion 
                         scale. The bipolar Hall electric field pattern generally created 
                         in a symmetric reconnection is replaced by a unipolar electric 
                         field within the electron-scale quadrants. Furthermore, it is 
                         concluded that the spacecraft directly passed through the inner 
                         electron diffusion region based on the violation of the electron 
                         frozen-in condition, the energy dissipation, and the slippage 
                         between the electron flow and the magnetic field. Within the inner 
                         electron diffusion region, magnetic energy was released and 
                         accumulated simultaneously, and it was accumulated in the 
                         perpendicular directions while dissipated in the parallel 
                         direction. The localized thinning of the current sheet accounts 
                         for the energy accumulation in a reconnection.",
