Abstract

The dual-mode characteristics of the Buneman instability are investigated in a slab plasma, including the geometric effects. The dual symmetric and anti-symmetric dispersion modes of the Buneman instability are obtained by the plasma dielectric function with the spectral reflection conditions for the slab geometry. The result shows that the magnitudes of the growth rate for the symmetric mode are always greater than those for the anti-symmetric mode. It is also found that the geometric effect suppresses the position of the maximum growth rate for the Buneman instability in bounded slab plasmas since the maximum conditions for the symmetric and anti-symmetric modes of the Buneman instability are given by 0.60

Dual-mode resonant instabilities of the surface dust-acoustic wave in a Lorentzian plasma slab

Journal Article Lee, Myoung-Jae; Jung, Young-Dae - Physics of Plasmas

The dual-mode resonant instabilities of the dust-acoustic surface wave propagating at the plasma-vacuum interfaces of the generalized Lorentzian dusty plasma slab are kinetically investigated. The dispersion relation is derived for the two propagation modes: symmetric and anti-symmetric waves. We have found that the temporal growth rate of the resonant instability increases with an increase of the slab thickness for both modes. Especially, the nonthermality of plasmas enhances the growth rate of the anti-symmetric resonant wave, and the nonthermal effect is enhanced as the slab thickness is increased. It is also found that the growth rate increases with increasing angular frequencymore »« less

Harnessing the relativistic Buneman instability for laser-ion acceleration in the transparency regime

Journal Article Stark, D.; Yin, L.; Albright, B. - Physics of Plasmas

We examine the relativistic Buneman instability in systems relevant to high-intensity laser-plasma interactions under conditions of relativistically-induced transparency, as this instability can generate large-amplitude electrostatic waves at low frequencies that are pertinent to ion dynamics in these systems. Ion flows are shown to significantly alter the range of unstable wave numbers and to increase the phase velocities of the unstable modes; we particularly highlight the relativistic effects from both the ion and electron (with transverse motion) populations. These findings are related to the mode structure seen in particle-in-cell simulation results of a short-pulse laser breaking through an initially opaque targetmore »« less

Band structure of the growth rate of the two-stream instability of an electron beam propagating in a bounded plasma

Journal Article Kaganovich, I.; Sydorenko, D. - Physics of Plasmas

Our paper presents a study of the two-stream instability of an electron beam propagating in a finite-size plasma placed between two electrodes. It is shown that the growth rate in such a system is much smaller than that of an infinite plasma or a finite size plasma with periodic boundary conditions. Even if the width of the plasma matches the resonance condition for a standing wave, a spatially growing wave is excited instead with the growth rate small compared to that of the standing wave in a periodic system. Furthermore, the approximate expression for this growth rate is γ≈(1/13)ω_pe(n_b/n_p)(Lω_pe/v_b)ln(Lω_pe/v_b)[1-0.18 cosmore »« less

Buneman instability in a magnetized current-carrying plasma with velocity shear

Journal Article Che, H; Goldman, M; Newman, D - Physics of Plasmas

Buneman instability is often driven in magnetic reconnection. Understanding how velocity shear in the beams driving the Buneman instability affects the growth and saturation of waves is relevant to turbulence, heating, and diffusion in magnetic reconnection. Using a Mathieu-equation analysis for weak cosine velocity shear together with Vlasov simulations, the effects of shear on the kinetic Buneman instability are studied in a plasma consisting of strongly magnetized electrons and cold unmagnetized ions. In the linearly unstable phase, shear enhances the coupling between oblique waves and the sheared electron beam, resulting in a wider range of unstable eigenmodes with common lowermore »« less

Nonthermal effects on the Buneman instability in Lorentzian dusty plasmas

Journal Article Ki, Dae-Han; Jung, Young-Dae - Physics of Plasmas

The nonthermal effects on the Buneman instability due to the ion streaming are investigated in Lorentzian dusty plasmas. The growth rates and frequency of the Buneman instability are obtained as functions of the spectral index of the Lorentzian plasma. It is shown that the nonthermal effect suppresses the growth rates as well as the real frequency term of the unstable root. Hence, the growth rates of the Buneman instability in nonthermal plasmas are found to be always smaller than those in Maxwellian plasmas. It is also found that the nonthermal effects on the growth rates decrease with increasing wave number.
