Numerical System for Electromagnetic Dispersion Relation in Anisotropic Plasmas

A computer code is developed to solve the electromagnetic dispersion relation of spatially uniform multi-component plasmas in a uniform magnetic field. For each particle species, a temperature anisotropy and a drift velocity along the magnetic line of force are taken into account on the basis of the Vlasov model. This code is useful for the study of wave propagation from a localized exciter and for the study of wave instabilities.
