Description

In a plasma composed of negative (SF-6) ions, positive (Ar+) ions, and electrons (with n/sube//n/sub +/ reducible to less than 10-3) a fast ion mode (v/subp//subh/approx. =9C/subs/), due to the out-of-phase motion between positive and negative ions, is observed with reduced spatial attenuation. This fast ion mode exhibits spatial growth in the presence of a fast ion beam. Diffusion properties of the negative ion plasma are also presented
