Microscopic filamentation due to electrothermal instability and plasma heating in time-dependent solar transition layer
Nonlinear equilibrium states of a microscopic current filamentation (electrothermal instability) in the solar atmosphere are explored. This phenomenon occurs for transition zone ion temperature plasmas provided that the electron to ion temperature ratio exceeds 1. It is shown that when the onset condition for the electrothermal instability is satisfied, the instability drives a current filamentation to a nonlinear equilibrium state that has a spatially periodic electron temperature variation with wavelength.

Rate effects on instabilities in slightly ionized plasmas
Results are presented of numerical computer calculations of dispersive wave growth rates in slightly ionized plasmas. The effects of employing a plasma model with detailed consideration of rate and radiative processes involving the electron quantum states were studied. Acoustic and electrothermal waves in unseeded argon are found to be frozen with the latter damped. Rate thermal modes can exhibit large growth. Mode mixing and switching in both seeded and unseeded argon are demonstrated.
