Magnetization of Rydberg plasmas by electromagnetic waves
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 November 2009
Abstract
It is shown that the ponderomotive force of a large-amplitude electromagnetic wave in Rydberg plasmas can generate quasi-stationary magnetic fields. The present result can account for the origin of seed magnetic fields in the ultracold Rydberg plasmas when they are irradiated by the high-frequency electromagnetic wave.
