The spectra of low-frequency surface waves propagating along a warm magneto- plasma layer bounded by dielectric are investigated, using a two-fluid hydrodynamic plasma model. It is shown that such propagation is possible only for some definite directions of the external magnetic field B0, with respect to the plasma-dielectric interfaces. The spectra obtained for a thick plasma layer correspond to the well-known results for a magneto-active plasma, bounded on one side by a vacuum, derived in the limit of one-fluid hydrodynamics.

AbstractIt has been shown that uncoupled surface waves of SH type can be propagated without any dispersion in an electrically conducting semi-infinite elastic medium provided a uniform magnetic field acts non-aligned to the direction of wave propagation. In general, the velocity of propagation will be slightly greater than that of plane shear waves in the medium.

Stability analysis of parametrically driven surface waves in liquid metals in the presence of a uniform vertical magnetic field is presented. Floquet analysis gives various subharmonic and harmonic instability zones. The magnetic field stabilizes the onset of parametrically excited surface waves. The minima of all the instability zones are raised by a different amount as the Chandrasekhar number is raised. The increase in the magnetic field leads to a series of bicritical points at a primary instability in thin layers of a liquid metal. The bicritical points involve one subharmonic and another harmonic solution of different wavenumbers. A tricritical point may also be triggered as a primary instability by tuning the magnetic field.

The aim of the present investigation is to study the effects of magnetic field, relaxation times, and rotation on the propagation of surface waves with imperfect boundary. The propagation between an isotropic elastic layer of finite thickness and a homogenous isotropic thermodiffusive elastic half-space with rotation in the context of Green-Lindsay (GL) model is studied. The secular equation for surface waves in compact form is derived after developing the mathematical model. The phase velocity and attenuation coefficient are obtained for stiffness, and then deduced for normal stiffness, tangential stiffness and welded contact. The amplitudes of displacements, temperature, and concentration are computed analytically at the free plane boundary. Some special cases are illustrated and compared with previous results obtained by other authors. The effects of rotation, magnetic field, and relaxation times on the speed, attenuation coefficient, and the amplitudes of displacements, temperature, and concentration are displayed graphically.

The plasma sheath existing between an antenna and a surrounding plasma layer plays an essential role. It is predicted that, for a given operating frequency, there exist certain plasma densities for which the system is resonant, and this very strongly enhanced radiation is fully confirmed by experiments. This combination of dielectric layer and plasma enables to tune an antenna even when its dimensions are much smaller than the vacuum wavelength. The influence of a static magnetic field is discussed.The same system can also be used as a frequency-sensitive receiving aerial.

SummaryThe problem considered is the diffraction of an electromagnetic wave by a perfectly conducting wedge embedded in a plasma on which a uniform magnetic field is impressed. The plasma is assumed to behave as an anisotropic dielectric and the problem is reduced, by employing a contour integral representation for the solution, to solving a difference equation. Surface waves are found to be excited on the wedge and expressions are given for their amplitudes.
