Electromagnetic modes in a partially ionized, inhomogeneous and magnet
ized plasma are investigated by taking into account of the effects of
neutral dynamics. Using the set of Maxwell's equations and basic fluid
equations that describe neutrals and plasmas, the existence of new ty
pe of plasma instabilities in the low frequency domain both for strong
and weak plasma-neutral coupling cases has been demonstrated. It is a
lso shown that the results obtained earlier in this held of research c
an easily be retrieved from our most general dispersion relation. The
modified version of the preexisting modes as well as the generation of
new modes due to neutral dynamics are highlighted. It has also been p
ointed out the relevance of these modes in several reported laboratory
and space phenomena and hence it demonstrates the significance of neu
tral dynamics.
