Instability of Contrastreaming Dust Beams in Dusty Plasmas
Padma Kant Shukla,N. N. Rao +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, contrastreaming dust and ion beams in dusty plasmas are shown to be unstable against dust-acoustic and dust ionacoustic disturbances, respectively, and analytical expressions for the growth rates and thresholds are presented.

Emission of low-frequency ion acoustic perturbations in the presence of stationary whistler turbulence
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate that stationary turbulence consisting of an ensemble of randomly phased small-amplitude whistler waves can become modulationally unstable against the ion acoustic perturbations along the external magnetic field.
5
Acceleration of dust particles by the ponderomotive force of lower-hybrid waves
TL;DR: In this article, the ponderomotive force of large amplitude lower-hybrid waves can generate space charge electric fields which accelerate charged dust grains, which has relevance to the dust particle energization in laboratory and space dusty plasmas.

Nonlinear response of a relativistic plasma to intense fields: Generation of strong quasistatic magnetic fields
TL;DR: In this paper, the relativistic theory of the magnetization current was used to generate quasistationary magnetic fields by nonlinear interactions of two high-frequency waves.

Purely growing magnetic modes in anisotropic contrastreaming plasmas
Padma Kant Shukla,G. S. Lakhina +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the anomalous heat transport in tokamak devices and showed that pure growing magnetostatic modes exist in a plasma either with contrastreaming electrons or with temperature anisotropy.
