High-frequency Alfven waves in multi-ion coronal plasma : observational implications [PDF]
We investigate the effects of high-frequency (of order ion gyrofrequency) Alfvén and ion-cyclotron waves on ion emission lines by studying the dispersion of these waves in a multi-ion coronal plasma.

Resonant third harmonic generation of super-Gaussian laser beam in a rippled density plasma
Resonant third harmonic generation of super-Gaussian laser beam in rippled density plasma is studied. Both the relativistic and ponderomotive nonlinearities are included in the analysis, and the study is done for self-guided laser beam.

Weakly nonlinear waves in magnetized plasma with a slightly non-Maxwellian electron distribution. Part 1, Stability of solitary waves [PDF]
Weakly nonlinear waves in strongly magnetized plasma with slightly non-isothermal electrons are governed by a modified Zakharov–Kuznetsov (ZK) equation, containing both quadratic and half-order nonlinear terms, which we refer to as the Schamel–Korteweg ...

Effect of dust on tilted electrostatic resistive instability in a Hall thruster
Effect of negatively charged dust on resistive instability corresponding to the electrostatic wave is investigated in a Hall thruster plasma when this purely azimuthal wave is tilted and strong axial component of wave vector is developed.

Modulational instability of Rossby and drift waves and generation of zonal jets [PDF]
We study the modulational instability of geophysical Rossby and plasma drill waves within the Charney-Hasegawa-Mima (CH M) model both theoretically, using truncated (four-mode and three-mode) models, and numerically, using direct simulations of CHM ...

INFLUENCE OF THE CRYSTAL LATTICE DIELECTRIC CONSTANT OF CONDUCTIVE MEDIUM ON THE RESONANCE INTERACTION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES IN THE DEFECT PHOTONIC CRYSTAL–CONDUCTOR STRUCTURE [PDF]
The defect photonic crystals bordering on the solid-state plasma-like media are worthy of special attention. These structures are of interest due to the occurrence of the plasma and defective waves which can interact resonantly with each other.

Using fully kinetic 2.5 dimensional particle-in-cell simulations of anti-parallel symmetric magnetic reconnection, we investigate how initially cold ions are captured by the reconnection process, and how they evolve and behave in the exhaust.

A global view of Pc3 wave activity in near-Earth space: Results from hybrid-Vlasov simulations
Ultra-low frequency (ULF) waves in the Pc3 range, with periods between 10–45 s, are routinely observed in Earth’s dayside magnetosphere. They are thought to originate in the foreshock, which extends upstream of the quasi-parallel bow shock and is ...
