Abstract
The spatial relaxation behavior of the electron gas acted upon by stronglymodulated striation-like electric fields, typically occurring in s and pstriations of dc neon plasmas, has been investigated on a kinetic basis inpart I of this paper. These studies have clearly shown that the electronrelaxation in the striationlike field leads to the establishment of anunambiguous spatially periodic state, which is characterized by largemodulation depths and phase delays of the microscopic and macroscopicquantities with respect to the striationlike field. The present part givesa detailed analysis of these quantities in the established striationlikestates. These investigations clearly reveal the distinctly nonlocal electronproperties, which are especially pronounced in the s-type of striations. Inaddition, the kinetic studies are completed by analyzing the impact of thefield modulation degree and the sensitive destruction of the resonancebehavior of the electron gas when imposing slightly nonresonant electric fields.
