Abstract: | It is shown that parametric coupling of an ordinary electromagnetic wave with purely damped convective cell modes as well as other collisional modes leads to purely growing perturbations in the direction perpendicular to the incoming radiation. The excitation of purely growing modes in a magnetized plasma is important because the resulting E × B drift can cause particle transport across the external magnetic field. |
