Abstract

We study the quasimode decay of a lower-hybrid wave and a damped ion cyclotron wave in a plasma having two kinds of electrons. This decay channel is also investigated for a cylindrical plasma. The behaviour of the threshold and growth rate with variations in Tn/Tc and non/noc are studied, and a comparison is made with previous results. Our results show that the growth rate and the threshold for the onset of parametric decay are influenced by the presence of the second electron species.
