Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new class of collision-dependent electron waves is found in a non-Maxwellian Lorentz magnetoplasma, and it is shown that these waves may be driven unstable by electron-neutral collisions. The Boltzmann equation with collision integral is solved, assuming propagation either parallel or perpendicular to the magnetic field. Both conductivity tensors are derived and put in a form useful for numerical calculations. The full set of Maxwell's equations is then used to derive the dispersion relations for both directions of propagation. The dispersion relations are initially solved for a monoenergetic electron distribution function and following that a distribution with a peak of nonzero halfwidth is treated. Some consideration is also given to a Maxwellian distribution both with and without a bump on the tail. As an example of propagation parallel to the magnetic field, transverse electromagnetic or whistler waves are considered. (Author).

This book was released on 1971 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new class of collision-dependent electron waves is found in a non-Maxwellian Lorentz magnetoplasma, and it is shown that electron-neutral collisions may cause these waves to become unstable. The Boltzmann equation with collision integral is solved while assuming propagation to be either parallel or perpendicular to the magnetic field. Both conductivity tensors are derived and put in a form that is useful for numerical calculations. The full set of Maxwell's equations is then used to derive the dispersion relations for both directions of propagation. The dispersion relations are initially solved for a monoenergetic electron distribution function and then an isotropic distribution with a peak of nonzero half-width is treated. Some consideration is also given to an isotropic Maxwellian distribution both with and without a bump on the tail. As an example of propagation parallel to the magnetic field, transverse electromagnetic or "whistler" waves in a nitrogen plasma are considered. A new collisional mode is found with real frequency near the electron cyclotron frequency, and under appropriate conditions it may be either convectively or absolutely unstable. Longitudinal or electrostatic waves propagating perpendicular to the magnetic field in a nitrogen plasma are also considered. A series of new collisional modes with real frequency near the electron cyclotron frequency and its harmonics are shown to be unstable under some conditions. For both directions of propagation, the electron waves can be unstable if a large fraction of plasma electrons have their velocity in a region where the electron-neutral collision frequency increases (or decreases) rapidly enough. The requirement on the electron-neutral collision frequency is easily met by nitrogen, mercury, and the Ramsauer gases.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Plasma Physics written by J. A. Bittencourt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-29 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fundamentals of Plasma Physics is a general introduction designed to present a comprehensive, logical and unified treatment of the fundamentals of plasma physics based on statistical kinetic theory, with applications to a variety of important plasma phenomena. Its clarity and completeness makes the text suitable for self-learning and for self-paced courses. Throughout the text the emphasis is on clarity, rather than formality, the various derivations are explained in detail and, wherever possible, the physical interpretations are emphasized. The mathematical treatment is set out in great detail, carrying out the steps which are usually left to the reader. The problems form an integral part of the text and most of them were designed in such a way as to provide a guideline, stating intermediate steps with answers.

Download or read book The Earth s Electric Field written by Michael C. Kelley and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2013-09-21 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Earth's Electric Field provides you with an integrated and comprehensive picture of the generation of the terrestrial electric fields, their dynamics and how they couple/propagate through the medium. The Earth's Electric Field provides basic principles of terrestrial electric field related topics, but also a critical summary of electric field related observations and their significance to the various related phenomena in the atmosphere. For the first time, Kelley brings together information on this topic in a coherent way, making it easy to gain a broad overview of the critical processes in an efficient way. If you conduct research in atmospheric science, physics, atmospheric chemistry, space plasma physics, and solar terrestrial physics, you will find this book to be essential reading. - The only book on the physics of terrestrial electric fields and their generation mechanisms, propagation and dynamics–making it essential reading for scientists conducting research in upper atmospheric, ionospheric, magnetospheric and space weather - Covers the processes related to electric field generation and electric field coupling in the upper atmosphere along with providing new insights about electric fields generated by sources from sun to mud - Focuses on real-world implications—covering topics such as space weather, earthquakes, the effect on power grids, and the effect on GPS and communication devices

Download or read book Introduction to Plasma Physics written by R.J Goldston and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction to Plasma Physics is the standard text for an introductory lecture course on plasma physics. The text's six sections lead readers systematically and comprehensively through the fundamentals of modern plasma physics. Sections on single-particle motion, plasmas as fluids, and collisional processes in plasmas lay the groundwork for a thorough understanding of the subject. The authors take care to place the material in its historical context for a rich understanding of the ideas presented. They also emphasize the importance of medical imaging in radiotherapy, providing a logical link to more advanced works in the area. The text includes problems, tables, and illustrations as well as a thorough index and a complete list of references.
