Abstract

We consider the nonlinear coupling of stationary whistler wave turbulence with low-frequency kinetic Alfvén and ion quasi-modes in a magnetized plasma. It is found that such couplings lead to instabilities. The influence of various plasma parameters on the linear growth rates of the instabilities is obtained. Our results may be useful to the understanding of numerous phenomena associated with electron whistler waves in space and laboratory plasmas.
