Modified Clemmow-Mullaly-Allis diagram for large-amplitude electromagnetic waves in magnetoplasmas
Abstract
A possible modification to the Clemmow-Mullaly-Allis diagram is analyzed taking into account the radiation pressure force due to a large amplitude, electromagnetic field E in magnetoplasmas. Electromagnetic waves incident normally on a semi-infinite uniform plasma are analyzed, on which B static magnetic field is applied parallel and/or perpendicular to the surface. Considerations are limited to a cold collisionless plasma where the incident waves are evanescent. Simple expressions are obtained for the cut-off conditions of the waves except the extraordinary mode.
