电离层等离子体交换不稳定性与大气重力波的耦合

研究了赤道电离层等离子体交换不稳定性和大气重力波的耦合性质。如果没有外部扰动的影响，非线性效应使交换不稳定性饱和在一个很小的幅度上。在适当的条件下，重力波能触发交换不稳定性。如果重力波的幅度足够大，所触发的交换不稳定性的扰动幅度能达到５０％甚至更大，产生等离子体泡，本文的理论揭示了电离层大尺度扩展Ｆ的产生机制，可以解释许多重要的电离层观测现象。 关键词：

热电子对低频等离子体漂移波的稳定作用

本文用磁流体理论导出了热电子等离子体中,等离子体密度梯度驱动的低频漂移波的色散关系,分析了热电子的稳定作用。热电子成分稳定等离子体低频扰动的物理机制是charge uncovering效应,它只依赖于热电子同等离子体的密度比α,而不依赖于热电子的β值。热电子能降低等离子体交换模和漂移波的增长率,减少漂移波引起的等离子体反常输运损失。稳定等离子体交换模要求α≈2％,稳定等离子体漂移波要求α≈40％。理论上预示了在热电子等离子体中,等离子体漂移波是最重要的低频不稳定性。 关键词：

Wave energy in a beam plasma system

The question of the sign of the energy of the electrostatic wave which is excited in a beam plasma system is discussed. The relevance of this sign for the existence of an explosively unstable coupling to two positive energy waves is investigated. Weakly explosive instabilities are expected.     

Explosive instability in a backward wave oscillator

A plasma filled backward wave oscillator supports Trivelpiece-Gould (TG) and TM modes. The former can be driven unstable by a relativistic electron beam via Cerenkov interaction or by the plasma return current as two stream instability. This unstable TG mode can parametrically couple to a TM mode via a negative energy beam mode giving rise to an explosive instability     

Streaming instability of a dusty plasma in the presence of mass and charge variation

We study the effect of the mass and charge dynamics on the collective behaviour of a dusty plasma. It is shown that the finite non-zero streaming velocity of the dust grains leads to a novel coupling of the dust mass fluctuation with other dynamic variables of the plasma and the grains. The mass fluctuations causes a collisionless dissipation and provides an alternate channel for the beam mode instability to occur. Physically the negative energy wave associated with the beam mode couples to the mass fluctuation induced dissipative medium to produce the instability. We conclude that the higher value of the ion mass density to the dust mass density ratio reduces the threshold value for the onset of the instability. Its application in the astrophysical context is discussed.     

Ionization and Cohesion in Dense Plasmas

Approximate formulas are derived for the critical density and pressure at which the atoms of hydrogen-like plasmas become ionized due to overlapping of the wave functions. By this mechanism, not only the thermally excited but also the ground state atoms of alkali plasmas become ionized already at moderate pressures. Numerical examples are given for H, Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs plasmas. It is shown that the (negative) electron-ion interaction energy balances the (positive) thermal energy for sufficiently high electron densities (e.g., n ~ 1020 cm-3 for T ~ 104 K) so that the plasma assumes a cohesive state similar to that of a (liquid) metal. From the quantum effects, the electron exchange energy contributes significantly to this "self-containment" of dense plasmas.     

Fundamentals and applications of ion-ion plasmas

Ion-ion plasmas can form in the late afterglow of pulsed discharges or downstream of continuous wave discharges in electronegative gases. In ion-ion plasmas, negative ions replace electrons as the negative charge carriers. In the absence of electrons, ion-ion plasmas behave quite differently compared to conventional electron-ion plasmas. Application of a radio frequency bias to a substrate immersed in an ion-ion plasma can be used to extract alternately positive and negative ions, thereby minimizing charging on device features during micro-device fabrication. Ion-ion plasmas are also important in negative ion sources, dusty plasmas, and the D-layer of the earth's atmosphere.     

Resonant Joule phenomena in a magnetoplasma

The present state of research of resonant Joule interactions of collisional plasmas with electromagnetic waves, including both the problems of plasma heating and wave dynamics, is reviewed. The controlled development of non-linear wave processes in gaseous and solid-body plasmas in radiowave and microwave ranges via resonant heating is discussed. The series of thermal bistability effects, produced by electron-temperature hysteresis near Langmuir and cyclotron resonances, is considered. The geometrical resonances of absorption in layered structures and bounded volumes are illustrated. Localization of dissipation phenomena near resonant regions in heterogeneous and anisotropic magnetoplasmas is analyzed. Relativistic and quantum effects in resonant collisional attenuation of waves in a plasma are shown. Some analogous tendencies in Joule wave phenomena are marked in plasmas characterized by very different physical conditions-from laboratory devices up to cosmic objects.     

Stabilization of interchange modes in mirror plasmas by a nonlinear rf-plasma wave coupling process

Experimental and theoretical studies are made of the consequences of a nonlinear coupling process between pump rf waves and interchange modes in mirror plasmas. It is demonstrated that the interchange-stable operation window exists depending on the applied rf power and gamma=omega(0)/Omega(i), where omega(0) (Omega(i)) is the angular frequency of the applied rf wave (ion cyclotron frequency). Results are shown that the nonlinear wave coupling process gives rise to the operation window near the resonance (gamma approximately equal to 1), which is elucidated by theoretical analyses combined with full rf wave simulations.     

Plasma-maser interaction of langmuir wave with kinetic Alfvén wave turbulence

A theoretical study is made on the generation mechanism of Langmuir mode wave in the presence of kinetic Alfvén wave turbulence in a magnetized plasma on the basis of plasma-maser interaction. It is shown that a test high frequency Langmuir mode wave is unstable in the presence of low frequency kinetic Alfvén wave turbulence. The growth of the Langmuir wave occurs due to direct and polarization coupling terms. Because of the universal existence of the kinetic Alfvén waves in large scale plasmas, the results have potential importance in space and astrophysical radiation processes.     

A new spiky soliton and an explosive mode of the nonlinear driftwave equation

A new type of nonlinear wave modes which occurs in the electrostatic drift waves in an inhomogeneous magnetized plasma is presented. The author predicts the existence of a new type of spiky solitary wave and an explosive mode with a negative potential as stationary solutions of this equation. These solutions are a consequence of a density gradient and not connected with a temperature gradient. These new nonlinear wave solutions appear to make a step forward in the general scheme of nonlinear normal modes for plasma waves. Using these nonlinear wave modes, the author can explain the solitary structure and the explosive event concerning nonlinear drift waves propagating in space
