Characteristics of TE modes in a plane-parallel waveguide filled with warm moving plasma magnetized along a transverse direction
The characteristics of TE modes in a transversely magnetized plane-parallel waveguide containing a relativistically moving warm plasma have been studied. The effects of the finite electron temperature of the plasma have been incorporated in terms of an anisotropic pressure. Using the first three moment equations in conjunction with Maxwell-Minkowski equations, we have derived the dispersion relation and the cutoff frequencies for the TE mode. It is found that the TE mode is modified due to the thermal motion of electrons to depend upon the velocity of the moving medium and the applied magnetic field. Numerical results for the cutoff frequencies are presented for several values of the parameters characterizing the electron-plasma temperature, the velocity of the moving medium, and the strength of the applied magnetic field.
