Abstract

Making use of the electron distribution function formed in the interaction of high-frequency microwave (MW) pulsed fields with a rarefied neutral gas [M. Ghorbanalilu, Phys. Plasmas. 13, 102110 (2006)], the dielectric permittivity tensor of the produced plasma is derived under the condition that the ions are cold and nonmagnetized. According to the adiabatic approximation and using the dielectric permittivity tensor elements the dispersion relations for ordinary and extraordinary excited waves are found. The numerical solution of the dispersion relation shows that the extraordinary modes are unstable in such a nonequilibrium system. These modes are generated in a wide range of wavelengths by tuning the MW field amplitude and magnetic field strength.
