Condensation mode instability in a heat-releasing weakly ionized gas in a magnetic field

Linear equations and dispersion relations describing the condensation mode in weakly ionized plasma with heat release, being in an external magnetic field, are derived. The conditions of the instability onset of the condensation mode of the ion component are found.     

Condensation Instability in Partially Ionized Plasma in a Magnetic Field

The occurrence conditions of the condensation instability in heat-releasing partially ionized plasma in an external magnetic field with an induction vector normal to the direction along which a perturbation occurs are considered. Linear equations describing isobaric perturbation dynamics in the two-liquid plasma model are derived. Using these equations, a dispersion relation for condensation modes is derived and their time increments are calculated for various degrees of plasma ionization and magnetic fields.
