Abstract

AbstractNonlinear behaviour of electron plasma waves propagating in a planar plasma‐loaded waveguide immersed in an infinite magnetic field is analysed including finite temperature and mobile ion effects. It is shown that the wave becomes modulationally unstable if the wavenumber exceeds certain critical value Kc, which decreases with rise of temperature. The growth rate of instability is calculated and is found to increase with the rise of temperature.
