On some radiation pressure effects produced by wave packets in plasmas

Description

An obliquely impinging electromagnetic wave exerts a negative radiation pressure on the abrupt plasma-vacuum boundary. Radiation pressure on a conductor immersed in the plasma is both electromagnetic and mechanical. The equation of motion of a quasi-particle corresponding to the wave packet is derived. Time-averaged motion of a charged particle in a non-monochromatic wave packet is given. No assumption is used concerning the validity of the Abraham or the Minkowski momentum densities. (author)
