Effect of boundary conditions on radial mode structure of whistlers
Abstract
The dispersion of the radial eigenmodes of a cylindrical m = 1 whistler wave with Ωi ω < Ωe ωpe is investigated for both conducting and insulating boundaries. The effects of electron inertia and resistivity on the modes are discussed.
