An approximate dispersion relation is obtained for quasi-longitudinal whistler mode propagation in the hot anisotropic plasma. The influence of plasma temperature and anisotropy on whistler energy focusing along the magnetic field and whistler trapping in the magnetospheric ducts are considered for the case when the whistler wave normal angle is not equal to zero.

We study the influence of static parallel electric fields on the characteristics of obliquely propagating electron Bernstein waves. Analysis of the equilibrium state defines the range of validity of the adopted model, viz. a collisionless, locally homogeneous medium described by the Vlasov and Poisson equations. An iterative method yields the modified dispersion relation whose numerical solution, for an idealized medium, suggests the relevance of the effects induced by static parallel electric fields in natural plasmas.

Bernstein Waves

In this paper, we have investigated the electrostatic electron Bernstein waves in a collisionless magnetized plasma using the Cairns distribution function. In this regard, we have derived a generalized dielectric constant for the Bernstein waves and derived the modified dispersion relation in the presence of Cairns distribution function. We have found that the dispersion curves for the electron Bernstein waves using the Cairns distribution function show a very significant deviation from the Maxwellian results. It has been found that the behavior of the Bernstein waves across the entire band between the adjacent harmonics shows a departure from the Maxwellian result for the different values of the non-thermality parameter for the Cairns distribution function.

Plane Interface

The dispersion relation and boundary conditions for surface waves propagating on the plane interface between a vacuum and a drifting plasma have recently been derived by Lee and Cho [J. Plasma Phys.58, 409 (1997)]. It is the purpose of the present comment to show that the boundary conditions and dispersion relation are incorrect.

The modified Chew—Goldberger—Low (CGL) equations are applied to the effect of Hall current on the instability of an incompressible plasma jet surrounded by non-conducting, compressible matter. The dispersion relation is obtained and discussed. The following is found. (i) When λ (the ratio of plasma density to the density of surrounding medium) is much greater than unity, the plasma jet is unstable for all wavenumbers for which k* = Küα < [(4R22 – 1)ü(1 + V2α)], where R2 = p∥/p⊥, V2α = H2/4αρ, K = (l2 + α2)½. Also, the jet is unstable for R2 > 1 + V2α. (ii) When λ ≪ 1, the critical wavenumber ratio for the instability to set in is k* < [(V2α + 3R2)ü(1 + V2α)½. Also, the jet becomes unstable for R2 < ⅓. (iii) When either l = 0 or α= 0, we must have R2 > 1 + V2α for instability. It is established that the Hall current has a destabilizing effect for certain wave- numbers. The dispersion relation for the incompressible plasma jet in cylindrical geometry is solved numerically on a computer.
