Magnetically confined plasma can be heated with high power microwave sources. In spherical torus the electron plasma frequency exeeds the electron cyclotron frequency (EC) and, as a consequence, electromagnetic waves at fundamental and low harmonic EC cannot propagate within the plasma. In contrast, electron Bernstein waves (EBWs) readily propagate in spherical torus plasma and are absorbed str...

Background and purpose: Ëffect of electromagnetic filed on the living beings is one of the current issues. With development of technology and increasing application of electromagnetic waves in industry and health affairs, men is exposed to various electromagnetic fields, such as high pressure power cable, radio, ultra magnetic matters, television, mobile and computer. The purpose of this s...

In this paper, a theoretical study of electromagnetic wave passing through inhomogeneous over-dense plasma was performed. It was supposed that the plasma layer is immersed in vacuum and the plasma density has aparabolic profileform. In this way, the electric permittivity profile decreases gradually, acquires negative values, and then again becomes positive on the other side of the slab. It has ...

Interactions of charge particles with electromagnetic waves have important effects (linear and nonlinear) on the propagation of electromagnetic waves, and it can somewhat play a role in generation of the new mode waves. Besides, the particle energies can play an important role in causing instability in plasma. The values of parallel energy of the particles have been calculated so that they can ...

  A complete linear theory in four dimensional space-time is constructed for propagation and coupling of electromagnetic waves in the most general case, i.e. media where all three space directions are in homogeneous and where temporal changes, anisotropy and absorbtion are also included. The only condition is that the properties of the medium should be slowly varying, Although it is assumed tha...
