1958 Physics Rev. 110 296/2 The character of the electric field form..has given rise to an extra contribution to the conduction current in a magnetoplasma.
1975 Nature 6 Nov. 58/2 Using a large volume laboratory magnetoplasma the wave fields and resonance cone of the right hand polarised (whistler mode) wave have been mapped.
1993 Jrnl. Plasma Physics 49 80 Assuming immobile ions and incompressible electrons, the relevant equations governing the wave dynamics in a non-uniform magnetoplasma are the electron momentum equation.., the energy equation.., and Faraday's and Ampére's laws.
