Instability of ion kinetic waves in a weakly ionized plasma.
The fundamental higher-order Landau plasma modes are known to be generally heavily damped. We show that these modes for the ion component in a weakly ionized plasma can be substantially modified by ion-neutral collisions and a dc electric field driving ion flow so that some of them can become unstable. This instability is expected to naturally occur in presheaths of gas discharges at sufficient...
متن کاملFluid description of collisional current filamentation instability of a weakly ionized plasma in the presence of magnetic field
In this paper, the collisional filamentation instability of an electron beam-weakly magnetized and ionized plasma has been investigated in the presence of background plasma, using the fluid description. By describing the equilibrium configuration in the presence of binary collision terms between charged and neutral particles and using the local approximation method, the dispersion relation (DR)...
متن کاملThe Balbus-Hawley instability in weakly ionized discs
MHD in protostellar discs is modified by the Hall current when the ambipolar diffusion approximation breaks down. Here I examine the Balbus-Hawley (magnetorotational) instability of a weak, vertical magnetic field within a weakly-ionized disc. Vertical stratification is neglected, and a linear analysis is undertaken for the case that the wave vector of the perturbation is parallel to the magnet...
متن کاملIon dynamics and the magnetorotational instability in weakly - ionized discs
The magnetorotational instability (MRI) of a weakly ionized, differentially rotating, magnetized plasma disc is investigated in the multi-fluid framework. The disc is threaded by a uniform vertical magnetic field and charge is carried by electrons and ions only. The inclusion of ion inertia causes significant modification to the conductivity tensor in a weakly ionized disc. The parallel, Peders...
