The problem of thermal-convective instability of a stellar atmosphere is considered to include the effects due to rotation and Hall currents in the presence of a uniform vertical magnetic field The criterion for monotonic instability is found to be unchanged by the presence of rotation and Hall effects.

The thermal convective instability of a nematic layer aligned perpendicular to horizontal plates displays original characteristics, due to the coupling of the nematic distortion with the temperature gradient; in particular the adverse temperature gradient threshold ΔTc can be modified by the application of a vertical (stabilizing) or horizontal (destabilizing) magnetic field. In addition, the application of a magnetic field H controls both the threshold of this instability and the geometric form of the instabilities above ΔTc.

Convective instability of a plasma slab (contained between two metal walls) subject to a longitudinal external magnetic field is studied. The results show that (i) increase in the ionization rate Z causes a reduction in the stability of the plasma; (ii) the instability persists in the limit k ⇒ 0.
