Instability of a Partially Ionized Plasma in Crossed Electric and Magnetic Fields
Abstract
A weakly ionized plasma in a uniform magnetic field is considered. Application of a potential across the magnetic field results in a steady current flow, owing to the finite conductivity. It is shown that this steady state is unstable if the plasma density is nonuniform in the direction of the applied electric field and if the applied potential is large enough. It is necessary that the sign of the product of the electric field and the density gradient be positive.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
