Instability of low-frequency waves in a cold plasma mixed with hot electrons
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2009
Abstract
The instability of low-frequency waves in a cold plasma mixed with hot electrons is investigated using the first-order CGL equations for electrons. It is assumed that in an equilibrium state the electrons consist of two components, cold electrons and hot electrons with bi-Maxwellians. It is shown that low-frequency waves with right-hand polarization can be generated by the hot electron temperature anisotropy and the existence of cold electrons.
