Electron-acoustic and ion-ion hybrid resonance-drift instability in inhomogeneous multi-ion-species magnetoplasmas
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2009
Abstract
Electron-acoustic (EA) and ion-ion-hybrid resonance (IIHR) waves, in a multi-ion-species magnetoplasma with density gradients perpendicular to the magnetic field and the direction of wave propagation are found to be drift unstable provided the inhomogeneities exceed a certain threshold. The possibility of mode conversion between the EA and the IIHR waves is examined.
