Mass dependency of high-wavenumber turbulence in a linear partially magnetized plasma
PHYSICS OF PLASMAS(2024)
Abstract
We investigated the mass dependency of the high-wavenumber turbulence, which occurs at scales smaller than the ion effective Larmor radius, in a partially magnetized plasma column. In this system, two different types of fluctuations were observed: one exhibiting a coherent discrete spectrum, while the other displaying a broadband continuous spectrum. The phase velocities of both types showed a similar mass dependency, approximately matching the ion sound velocity or electron diamagnetic drift velocity. Additionally, we found that the discrete spectrum has a peak interval frequency comparable to the ion cyclotron frequency, which is consistent with ion cyclotron ranges of fluctuations, including ion Bernstein waves.
