Amplification of nonlinear surface waves in an inhomogeneous transition layer
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2009
Abstract
A plasma with a boundary transition layer of variable depth in the presence of a powerful electromagnetic field is considered. It is shown that a displacement of the boundary will grow, and will propagate as a nonlinear surface wave in the direction in which the depth of the transition layer decreases.
