Notes:
The present study constitutes a continuation and improvement of the preceding work by Yoon et al. [J. Geophys. Res. 104, 19801 (1999)]. In the present discussion, an instability of Bernstein waves excited by a beam of energetic electrons is investigated. Special attention is paid to the regime where the ratio of plasma frequency, ωpe, to electron gyrofrequency, Ωe, is sufficiently higher than unity. An approximate but fairly accurate scheme is introduced to deal with the situation dictated by the condition, ωpe2/Ωe2(very-much-greater-than)1. The present investigation is motivated by the research in solar radiophysics. However, in this article the emphasis is placed on basic properties of the instability rather than its application. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
