Universal instability in an electron hole filled with negative ions
Description
The stability of a layer of negative ions imbedded in a magnetized charge neutral plasma is analyzed. Universal instabilities are found to persist, even in the absence of a net current or net density gradient. Experiments which inject negative ions into the ionosphere may have observed such fluctuations
