Landau damping of partially incoherent Langmuir waves
It is shown that partial incoherence, in the form of stochastic phase noise, of a Langmuir wave in an unmagnetized plasma gives rise to a Landau-type damping. Starting from the Zakharov equations, which describe the nonlinear interaction between Langmuir and ion-acoustic waves, a kinetic equation is derived for the plasmons by introducing the Wigner-Moyal transform of the complex Langmuir wave ...
متن کاملSelf-consistent Langmuir waves in resonantly driven thermal plasmas
The longitudinal dynamics of a resonantly driven Langmuir wave are analyzed in the limit that the growth of the electrostatic wave is slow compared to the bounce frequency. Using simple physical arguments, the nonlinear distribution function is shown to be nearly invariant in the canonical particle action, provided both a spatially uniform term and higher-order spatial harmonics are included al...
متن کاملA nonextensive statistics approach for Langmuir waves in relativistic plasmas
The nonextensive statistics formalism proposed by Tsallis has found many applications in systems with memory effects, long range spatial correlations, and in general whenever the phase space has fractal or multi-fractal structure. These features may appear naturally in turbulent or non-neutral plasmas. In fact, the equilibrium distribution functions which maximize the nonextensive entropy stron...
متن کاملLangmuir probe analysis for high density plasmas
High-density, radio-frequency plasmas used in semiconductor processing have progressed to densities n>5310 cm, where the methods used to interpret Langmuir probe characteristics in low-density (10 – 11 cm) plasma reactors are no longer valid. Though theory and computations for arbitrarily dense collisionless plasmas exist, they are difficult to apply in real time. A new parametrization and iter...
متن کاملStructure and phase transitions in Langmuir monolayers
Lipid monolayers on the surface of water have been studied for over a hundred years, but in the last decade there has been a dramatic evolution in our understanding of the structures and phase transitions of these systems, driven by new experimental techniques and theoretical advances. In this review, dense monolayers of simple lipids are described in detail, including structures revealed by x-...
