Abstract

A study on the generation of unstable electromagnetic wave through nonlinear wave–particle interactions in an inhomogeneous plasma has been presented. Drift wave turbulence, which is one of the common features of inhomogeneous plasma, is found to be strongly in phase relation with thermal particles. The plasma particles, accelerated by drift wave turbulence field, may transfer their energy to electromagnetic O-mode through a modulated field. This process has been described by Vlasov Maxwell system of equations. From the nonlinear dispersion relation for O-mode the growth rate has been estimated. It has been observed that growth of unstable O-mode may predict magnetospheric electromagnetic radiation phenomena.
