Mode Coupling and Breathing Oscillation in Partially Magnetized Cross-Field Plasmas

Abstract

We report on investigations of mode coupling between rotating spokes during the onset of the breathing oscillation. Demonstrating the existence of nonlinear coupling between the sporadic spokes and the breathing oscillation, we suggest the oscillating azimuthal electric field as the energy source for additional ionization within the plasma. Our results indicate that intermittent three-wave coupling is a possible mechanism for triggering low-frequency breathing oscillations in partially magnetized cross-field plasma.
