This paper focuses on studying thermal, elastic and coupled plasma waves, in the sense of a photo-thermal process transport within an infinite semiconductor medium. In order to study photo-thermal interactions in two-dimensional semiconducting materials, a new mathematical model based on the Moore–Gibson–Thompson equation (MGTE) is implemented. The MGTE model involving the Green–Naghdi model of type III as well as the heat transport equation proposed by Lord and Shulman. We consider the semi-conductor half-space is rotated at a uniform angular speed and magnetized. The analysis of the distribution of thermophysical fields has been extracted by a normal mode method, represented graphically and discussed. The results predicted by the new and improved model have been compared with the generalized and classic ones. In addition, all field quantities have been examined for effects of rotation, a lifetime of the photo-generated, and the applied magnetic field.

In this note we investigate the stability of large-amplitude longitudinal relativistic plasma waves. We find that they are secularly stable, that is, small perturbations grow in time proportional to time but not exponentially with time. Similar results have recently been obtained for transverse waves by Romeiras (1978)

There exist plasma waves that transport helicity although they do not propagate electromagnetic energy. The dispersion relations of such helicity waves are studied. The electric field of the waves is parallel to the perturbed magnetic field, and both are perpendicular to the perturbed current. In cross-field propagation, a helicity wave is decomposed into two transverse modes with different polarizations and a longitudinal part. The helicity waves are principally Alfvénic in the low-frequency limit. At high frequencies, the Faraday effect comes into the polarization.

A nonlinear relaxation is observed when an electron beam interacts with plasma in an external magnetic field. An acceleration of electrons to energies which are more than twice that of the initial beam energy is observed. The acceleration mechanism is connected with the modulation instability of the plasma waves which is excited when the beam relaxes.
