Resistive drift instabilities for thermal and non-thermal electron distributions in electron-ion plasma
Local dispersion relations for resistive drift mode in a nonuniform magnetize plasma are derived for thermal and non-thermal distribution of electrons. The coupled mode equations are obtained by using Braginskii's transport equations for ions and electrons with thermal as well as non-thermal (C...
