Abstract. Coagulation of electrons to form macro-electrons or compounds in high temperature plasma is not generally expected to occur. Here we investigate, based on earlier work, the possibility for such electron compound formation (non-quantum "pairing") mediated in the presence of various kinds of plasma waves via the generation of attractive electrostatic potentials, the necessary condition for coagulation. We confirm the possibility of production of attractive potential forces in ion- and electron-acoustic waves, pointing out the importance of the former and expected consequences. While electron-acoustic waves presumably do not play any role, ion-acoustic waves may potentially contribute to formation of heavy electron compounds. Lower-hybrid waves also mediate compound formation but under different conditions. Buneman modes which evolve from strong currents may also potentially cause non-quantum "pairing" among cavity-/hole-trapped electrons constituting a heavy electron component that populates electron holes. The number densities are, however, expected to be very small and thus not viable for justification of macro-particles. All these processes are found to potentially generate cold compound populations. If such electron compounds are produced by the attractive forces, the forces provide a mechanism of cooling a small group of resonant electrons, loosely spoken, corresponding to classical condensation.

Abstract.This paper deals with small amplitude waves in inhomogeneous warm electron plasmas. The waves are coupled electromagnetic and electron-acoustic waves, and are described by Maxwell's equations together with single-fluid hydrodynamical equations. Here, previous work is generalized by including the effect of a static pressure gradient. Coupled wave equations are obtained and specialized to the case of a planar stratified plasma. Then, as a preliminary to a treatment of wave coupling, the behaviour of the solutions of the uncoupled wave equations in a coupling region is investigated. The static pressure gradient complicates the behaviour of the uncoupled field components; singularities occur at two points which coalesce as the static pressure gradient is allowed to tend to zero.
