Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of plasma waves which are observed in the earth's magnetosphere. The emphasis is on a thorough, but concise, treatment of the necessary theory and the use of this theory to understand the manifold varieties of waves which are observed by ground-based instruments and by satellites. We restrict our treatment to waves with wavelengths short compared with the spatial scales of the background plasma in the mag netosphere. By so doing we exclude large scale magnetohydrodynamic phenomena such as ULF pulsations in the Pc2-5 ranges. The field is an active one and we cannot hope to discuss every wave phenomenon ever observed in the magnetosphere! We try instead to give a good treatment of phenomena which are well understood, and which illustrate as many different parts of the theory as possible. It is thus hoped to put the reader in a position to understand the current literature. The treatment is aimed at a beginning graduate student in the field but it is hoped that it will also be of use as a reference to established workers. A knowledge of electromagnetic theory and some elementary plasma physics is assumed. The mathematical background required in cludes a knowledge of vector calculus, linear algebra, and Fourier trans form theory encountered in standard undergraduate physics curricula. A reasonable acquaintance with the theory of functions of a complex vari able including contour integration and the residue theorem is assumed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The n =! 1, E mode of hydromagnetic wave propagation has been studied in a cylindrical plasma waveguide. Excitation at 1.0, 2.3, and 3.0 megacycles per second was achieved by means of a circular current-carrying loop immersed in the plasma. Magnetic probes, distributed along the length of the waveguide and capable of insertionALONG A RADIUS, WERE USED TO DETERMINE THE RADIAL DEPENDENCE AND DIRECTION OF THE SIGNAL FIELDS AND, HENCE, THE NATURE OF THE PROPAGATING MODE. These probes were also used to detect the propagation of the waves. Measurement of wave velocity was interpreted to yield the ion density in the plasma, and, furthermore, measurement of wave velocity at different intervals after plasma preparation was interpreted to yield the ion density decay rate. Experiments were performed to detect the rotation of the plane of polarization of the signal fields. (Author).

This book was released on 2014-04-02 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The science of magnetically confined plasmas covers the entire spectrum of physics from classical and relativistic electrodynamics to quantum mechanics. During the last sixty years of research, our initial primitive understanding of plasma physics has made impressive progress thanks to a variety of experiments — from tabletop devices with plasma temperatures of a few thousands of degrees and confinement times of less than 100 microseconds, to large tokamaks with plasma temperatures of up to five hundred million degrees and confinement times approaching one second. We discovered that plasma confinement is impaired by a variety of instabilities leading to turbulent processes with scales ranging from the plasma size to a few millimeters. Understanding these phenomena, which have slowed down progress towards a fusion reactor, requires the use of very sophisticated diagnostic tools, many of which employ electromagnetic waves.The primary objective of this book is to discuss the fundamental physics upon which the application of electromagnetic waves to the study of magnetically confined plasmas is based.

This book was released on 1973 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reduction of the oscillations of the magnetosphere to a simple mechanical analogue, which can be analyzed in detail, is accomplished in three stages: (1) The comparison of the wave equations for a dipole field magnetized plasma to those for a rectangular model of the plasmasphere with a unidirectional field -- the important physical characteristics are shown to be independent of the particular geometry chosen; (2) the comparison of the equations in the above hydromagnetic box with those of a mechanical system consisting of a set of oscillators, representing field lines, coupled by a wave propagating medium -- for the symmetric modes with weak ion-cyclotron coupling, the equations for the hydromagnetic and mechanical systems are essentially identical; (3) the simplification of the mechanical system to an elementary wave-oscillator model representing the coupling between resonant poloidal and toroidal modes -- the nature of the motion of this model is independent of the strength of the coupling. In general, the behavior of coupled and uncoupled modes is essentially different. When any coupling is present, steady state solutions, as normally understood, are not possible. (Author).

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology includes articles on experimental studies of the interaction of high-power electromag netic waves with collisionless plasmas and with electrons. The nonlinear interaction of waves with plasmas has been investigated both under free space conditions and in waveguides. A study of secondary-emission dis charges was made in order to ascertain their possible effect on measurements in waveguides. The results presented here on the interaction of high-power waves with plasmas and electrons are of interest to a wide range of physicists and engineers concerned with various questions on the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with plasmas, including microwave heating of plasmas and laser fusion. v CONTENTS An Experimental Investigation of Nonlinear Dissipation of Electromagnetic Waves in Inhomogeneous Collisionless Plasmas - G.M.

Download or read book Solitary Waves in Plasmas and in the Atmosphere written by Vladimir .I. Petviashvili and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 1992. This book arose as a result of the authors work on the review ‘Solitary Vortices in Plasmas’ written for the Soviet Journal of Plasma Physics. With the development of nonlinear wave theory some novel concepts came into use, such as solitary waves, solitary vortices, and solitons. There is still some inconsistency in the use of these terms. The study of solitary waves (solitons) should ultimately lead to a better understanding of the internal structure of elementary particles. That is why solitons are attracting great attention from physicists and mathematicians. The material presented in this book shows that solitons are also of interest in plasma physics and geophysics, where these concepts have many important applications.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book deals with the propagation and absorption of high frequency waves in plasmas. The text collects in a structured and self-contained way the basic knowledge on the broad and varied behavior of plasma waves, adopting the microscopic kinetic description of the plasma as unifying principle. The internal coherence of the theory is explicitly stressed, and interesting physical phenomena peculiar to plasmas are discussed in detail, including collisionless damping of waves, the development of stochasticity in the interactions of charged particles with electromagnetic waves, and nonlinear interactions between waves. The most common and useful approximations used in solving practical problems are derived as special cases from the more general kinetic approach, thereby clarifying their meaning and domain of applicability. This exposition should be useful to plasma physicists both as an introduction and a reference to this field of research.
