Abstract

The theory of particle aspect analysis is extended to the drift wave in the presence of an inhomogeneous magnetic field. The dispersion relation and growth rate of the wave are evaluated and discussed when the magnetic field gradient is directed opposite to the density gradient. The plasma under consideration is assumed to be anisotropic and the effects of temperature anisotropy on the dispersion characteristics and growth rate of the wave are also studied. The dispersion relation and the growth rate are evaluated for the space plasma parameters.
