WAVE INTERACTION IN PLASMA INHOMOGENEITIES
Journal Article
·
· Journal of Applied Physics (U.S.)
How the perturbation in a homogeneous magnetoplasma may be simply deduced from the phenomenological equations of motion and continuity is shown. This is then compared with the perturbation normally giving rise to secondorder wave interaction in a homogeneous plasma. It is concluded that the local first- order combination currents generated in nonuniform fields may be small or large compared to the second-order currents generated in a uniform region, depending upon the relative size of the gradient of the density to the density itself and the polarization of the primary field with respect to this gradient.
