Turbulent bremsstrahlung instability of whistler mode in the presence of enhanced ion-acoustic fluctuations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2009
Abstract
In the presence of a low-frequency ion-acoustic turbulence and a high-frequency whistler-mode test wave, a new plasma instability occurs owing to a nonlinear force which originates from the resonant interaction between electrons and modulated nonlinear electric fields. The growth rate of the whistler mode is calculated and compared with observations.
