The crossfield current-driven ion acoustic instability in a two-ion plasma.

The behaviour of the crossfield current-driven ion acoustic instability in a plasma containing two ion species is theoretically examined. In our model the electrons are assumed to be hot and the ions cold, i.e. Tₑ »Tᵢ (~ 0), where both ion species are given the same temperature. The length and time...
