Dk. Callebaut et Nl. Tsintsadze, LINEAR AND NONLINEAR-INTERACTION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC-WAVES WITH WEAKLYIONIZED MAGNETIZED PLASMAS, Physica scripta. T, 52(5), 1995, pp. 565-571
We derive the basic equations for magnetoacoustic hydrodynamics (MAD).
A new branch of electromagnetic waves having small damping is obtaine
d in the range of the electron cyclotron frequency in a strong collisi
onal plasma. Filamentational and modulational instabilities are elabor
ated. The effect of helicon waves (whistlers) on the plasma is conside
red and instabilities are studied. The formation of solitons and shock
waves is investigated.
