Convective instability of a plasma slab in a magnetic field
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 March 2009
Abstract
Convective instability of a plasma slab (contained between two metal walls) subject to a longitudinal external magnetic field is studied. The results show that (i) increase in the ionization rate Z causes a reduction in the stability of the plasma; (ii) the instability persists in the limit k ⇒ 0.
