Nonlinear structures of drift waves in pair-ion-electron plasmas
The Korteweg–de Vries–Burgers equation is derived for drift waves in a partially ionized nonuniform pair-ion-electron (PIE) plasma. The nonlinearity appears due to electron temperature gra...

Direct observation of a cross-field current-carrying plasma rotating around an unstable magnetized plasma column
The low-frequency instability of a magnetized plasma column and the existence of a rotating peripheral plasma are shown to be correlated with a radial cross-field electron current. The direct observat...

Surface plasmon effects excitation from the three-pair arrays of silver-shell nanocylinders are investigated numerically by using the finite-element method. Effects from different illumination wavelengths, interparticle distance, interpair distance, and the radii of air hole in nanocylinders are studied. Compared to the three-pair arrays of solid silver cylinder, the near-field optical response of the shell exhibits electric field enhancements and redshift which are found to be strongly influenced by tuning the radius of the air-hole in the nanocylinders. ©2009 American Institute of Physics
