Results are presented from basic heat transport experiments using a magnetized electron temperature filament that behaves as a thermal resonator. Using a small cathode source, low energy electrons are injected along the magnetic field into the afterglow of a pre-existing plasma forming a hot electron filament embedded in a colder plasma. A series of low amplitude, sinusoidal perturbations are added to the cathode discharge bias that creates an oscillating heat source capable of driving large amplitude electron temperature oscillations. Langmuir probes are used to measure the amplitude and phase of the thermal wave field over a wide range of driver frequencies. The results are used to verify the excitation of thermal waves, confirm the presence of thermal resonances, and demonstrate the diagnostic potential of thermal waves through measurement of the parallel thermal diffusivity.
