Abstract

The effect of the electron-streaming along the applied magnetic field on the electromagnetic circularly-polarised modes in a Vlasov plasma propagating along the applied magnetic field is studied. It is found that the growth or decay of the circularly-polarised modes is affected by the electron-streaming in the presence of the thermal effects, unlike the case with the thermal effects absent.
