Journal ArticleDOI
The mirror and ion cyclotron anisotropy instabilities
TL;DR: In this paper, the dispersion equation for fully electromagnetic waves and instabilities at arbitrary directions of propagation relative to a background magnetic field B(0) in a homogeneous Vlasov plasma is solved numerically for bi-Maxwellian particle distributions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetic cyclotron and synchrotron maser instabilities - Radio emission processes by direct amplification of radiation
TL;DR: The theory of the kinetic (cyclotron an synchroton) maser instabilities has been extensively developed in recent years by many authors, who have been incited by the research of the auroral kilometric radiation and other applications as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Heat flux instabilities in the solar wind
TL;DR: In this article, the linear dispersion properties of three electron heat flux plasma instabilities are studied in detail by using parameters appropriate to average values in the solar wind at 1 AU.
Journal ArticleDOI
The emission and absorption of waves by charged particles in magnetized plasmas
TL;DR: In this article, a semiclassical theory describing the emission and absorption of waves is applied to the interaction of charged particles with waves in magnetized plasmas, and the absorption coefficient for the waves and a diffusion equation in momentum space for the particles describing the effects of the induced processes are given.

Experimental Studies of Electrostatic Fluctuations in a Turbulently Heated Plasma
S. M. Hamberger,J. Jancarik +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the spectra of potential fluctuations in a toroidal discharge are measured under conditions of turbulent heating using a small double electrostatic probe, and three different turbulent regimes are distinguished whose occurrence depends on the electron drift velocity and correspond, respectively, to the excitation of ion sound, two-stream, or beam-plasma instability.
