THE MECHANISM OF TONKS-DATTNER PLASMA RESONANCES
Journal Article
·
· Phys. Letters
A hypothesis is developed that successfully explains experimental results on the Tonks-Dattner resonances. The usual dispersion relation for pressure waves propagating in an infinite uniform plasma is considered as well as the locations, amplitudes, and numbers of distinguishable resonances. The effects of pressure, external fields, electron temperature, and exciting electrod dimensions on the Tonks-Dattner resonances are summarized. It is concluded that internal plasma resonances can occur due to standing waves between the cut-off and propagating regions of the column and that these successfully explain the phenomenon of Tonks-Dattner resonance.
