Book excerpt: It is shown that even a non-magnetized plasma with temperature T sustains zero-frequency magnetic fluctuations in thermal equilibrium. Fluctuations in electric and magnetic fields, as well as in densities, are computed. Four cases are studied: a cold, gaseous, isotropic, non-magnetized plasma; a cold, gaseous plasma in a uniform magnetic field; a warm, gaseous plasma described by kinetic theory; and a degenerate electron plasma. For the simple gaseous plasma, the fluctuation strength of the magnetic field as a function of frequency and wavenumber is calculated with the aid of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. This calculation is done for both collisional and collisionless plasmas. The magnetic field fluctuation spectrum of each plasma has a large zero-frequency peak. The peak is a Dirac?-function in the collisionless plasma; it is broadened into a Lorentzian curve in the collisional plasma. The plasma causes a low frequency cutoff in the typical black-body radiation spectrum, and the energy under the discovered peak approximates the energy lost in this cutoff. When the imposed magnetic field is weak, the magnetic field were vector fluctuation spectra of the two lowest modes are independent of the strength of the imposed field. Further, these modes contain finite energy even when the imposed field is zero. It is the energy of these modes which forms the non-magnetized zero-frequency peak of the isotropic plasma. In deriving these results, a simple relationship between the dispersion relation and the fluctuation power spectrum of electromagnetic waves if found. The warm plasma is shown, by kinetic theory, to exhibit a zero-frequency peak in its magnetic field fluctuation spectrum as well. For the degenerate plasma, we find that electric field fluctuations and number density fluctuations vanish at zero frequency; however, the magnetic field power spectrum diverges at zero frequency.

Download or read book Electromagnetic Fluctuations In Plasma written by A Sitenko and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2012-12-02 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Electromagnetic Fluctuations in Plasma focuses on the theoretical investigation of the electromagnetic properties of a plasma (an ionized gas). The manuscript first takes a look at the general theory of fluctuations and electromagnetic fluctuations in media with space-time dispersion. Discussions focus on spectral distribution of the fluctuations and energy dissipation in the medium; dielectric and magnetic permittivities in a medium with spatial dispersion; current, charge, and field fluctuations in a medium; and inversion of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. The text then examines the electrodynamic properties of an electron plasma and electromagnetic fluctuations in an electron plasma. The publication ponders on fluctuations in an electron-ion plasma and electron plasma in a magnetic field. Topics include plasma dielectric permittivity tensor in a magnetic field; longitudinal plasma oscillations in a magnetic field; fluctuations in charge and current densities in an equilibrium electron-ion plasma; and electron and ion density fluctuations in an equilibrium plasma. The text also tackles the passage of charged particles through plasma and dynamic friction and diffusion coefficients in a plasma. The book is a dependable reference for readers interested in the study of the electromagnetic properties of a plasma.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low-frequency fluctuations of plasma density, floating potential, ion saturation current, visible light intensity, and edge magnetic field are routinely observed in the Levitated Dipole Experiment (LDX). For the purposes of this thesis, we define low-frequency as W “Wbe where Wbe is the electron bounce frequency. These fluctuations in a laboratory dipole confined plasma lead to turbulence mixing that maintain peaked density profiles. The relationship between the different types of low-frequency fluctuations and plasma density transport is considered. Two 16-channel photodiode arrays were designed and constructed to study the spatial and temporal structure of these fluctuations as part of this dissertation. In addition to the photodiode arrays, a four-channel microwave interferometer is used to estimate the density profile and to measure density fluctuations in the plasma. Several electrostatic probes, including a 24-channel floating probe array, measure fluctuations at the plasma edge and eight Mirnov coils measure magnetic fluctuations. The fluctuations fall into three general categories: broadband, turbulent fluctuations observed during nearly all plasma conditions; quasi-coherent fluctuations with low azimuthal mode numbers and peak frequencies on the order 1 kHz observed during discharges with low neutral pressure; and coherent fluctuations with zero toroidal mode number and peak frequencies on the order of 100 Hz, observed during discharges with moderate neutral fueling. The relationship between time-averaged fluctuation characteristics and plasma parameters are explored. The spatial structure of the fluctuations for several representative shots are discussed. The turbulent fluctuations and concurrent density profiles are compared to quasilinear diffusion of interchange mixing in dipolar plasmas for cases where the fluctuations are random. I show that the quasilinear diffusion equation agrees well with the experimental observations of random fluctuations, supporting the conclusion that interchange mixing is causing inward transport that results in peaked density profiles. For other cases, where nonlinear effects appear to dominate the plasma dynamics, the saturated fluctuation amplitudes are compared to the plasma density profiles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Random fluctuations of the electron density of a plasma medium degrade the characteristics of a microwave signal which is passed through it. Typically the examination on a spectrum analyzer of an rf signal which has been passed through a la oratory plasma reveals a transfer of energy into sidebands of the original frequency. In dc discharges the main components observed are those due to the strong oscillations which occur in the low-frequ ncy range elow one megacycle. A theory of phase modulation of an rf signal by the low-frequency fluctuations of a plasma is described. It is shown that strong sidebands should be expected, and that under certain circumstances the original carrier amplitude may become zero. The res lts obtained agree well with experimental measurements carried out on a plasma column modulated in density by an external lowfrequency signal. (Author).

Download or read book Low Frequency Waves in Space Plasmas written by Andreas Keiling and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-02-10 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low-frequency waves in space plasmas have been studied for several decades, and our knowledge gain has been incremental with several paradigm-changing leaps forward. In our solar system, such waves occur in the ionospheres and magnetospheres of planets, and around our Moon. They occur in the solar wind, and more recently, they have been confirmed in the Sun’s atmosphere as well. The goal of wave research is to understand their generation, their propagation, and their interaction with the surrounding plasma. Low-frequency Waves in Space Plasmas presents a concise and authoritative up-to-date look on where wave research stands: What have we learned in the last decade? What are unanswered questions? While in the past waves in different astrophysical plasmas have been largely treated in separate books, the unique feature of this monograph is that it covers waves in many plasma regions, including: Waves in geospace, including ionosphere and magnetosphere Waves in planetary magnetospheres Waves at the Moon Waves in the solar wind Waves in the solar atmosphere Because of the breadth of topics covered, this volume should appeal to a broad community of space scientists and students, and it should also be of interest to astronomers/astrophysicists who are studying space plasmas beyond our Solar System.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plasma Electrodynamics, Volume 2: Non-Linear Theory and Fluctuations deals with the theory of nonlinear waves in a collisionless plasma, including the quasilinear theory, the theory of plasma turbulence, and the theory of electromagnetic fluctuations in a plasma. Topics covered range from nonlinear high-frequency waves in a cold plasma to the theory of plasma oscillations in the quasilinear approximation. Nonlinear wave-particle interactions are also discussed, along with scattering and transformation of waves in a plasma. Comprised of six chapters, this volume begins with a study of nonlinear waves in a collisionless plasma, focusing on nonlinear high-frequency waves in a cold plasma; Langmuir waves in a non-relativistic plasma; and longitudinal, transverse, and coupled longitudinal-transverse waves in a relativistic plasma. After expounding on the quasilinear theory, which describes the effects of the first approximation in terms of the plasma wave energy, the nonlinear interaction of waves and particles is considered. The last three chapters explore the theory of electromagnetic fluctuations in a plasma; the theory of scattering processes and the transformation of waves in a plasma; and the scattering of charged particles in a plasma. The polarization energy losses when charged particles move in a plasma are calculated. This book will be of interest to physicists.
