Surface wave instability in bounded magnetized plasma with inhomogeneous particle stream
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2009
Abstract
The instability of surface wave modes in a semi infinite magnetoactive plasma with a non-homogeneous particle stream is studied. The existence of two possible mechanisms for the development of the instability: induced anomalous Doppler effect and induced Cherenkov effect is demonstrated. Related growth-rates and stability criteria are calculated.
