Lecture Notes in Physics - Vol. 12

WAVES AND INSTABILITIES IN PLASMAS

by Liu Chen (Princeton)

The topics covered in these notes are selective and tend to emphasize more on kinetic-theory approaches to waves and instabilities in both uniform and non-uniform plasmas, students are assumed to have some basic knowledge of plasma dynamics in terms of single-particle and fluid descriptions.


Contents:

  • General Properties of Electromagnetic Waves in Dielectric Media
  • Linear Waves and Instabilities in Uniform Unmagnetized Plasmas
  • Linear Waves and Instabilities in Uniform Magnetized Plasmas
  • Linear Waves and Instabilities in Nonuniform Plasmas
  • Topics in Nonlinear Plasma Theory


Readership: Applied physicists.
