Nonlinear propagation of the extraordinary mode in a hot magnetoplasma

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5984074
Kinetic theory for a nonlinear propagation of quasi-monochromatic extraordinary waves reveals that propagation of an envelope of the extraordinary carriers is described by the nonlinear Schrodinger equation. In a cold plasma limit, a detailed analysis is carried out on a behavior of the envelope of the upper- and the lower-hybrid waves at respective resonant frequency ranges.
