Abstract
Wave breaking phenomena of nonlinear electron oscillations around a homogeneous background of massive ions have been studied in a warm magnetized plasma by using Lagrangian variables. An inhomogeneity in the background magnetic field is shown to induce phase mixing and thus breaking of the oscillations. A nonlinear analysis in Lagrangian variables predicts that wave breaking may disappear above a critical value of the electron temperature. An estimate for the critical temperature has been provided.
