Description

The general Schroedinger equation (GSE) for whistler waves with their group velocity directed along an external magnetic field is derived. The 'mean' wave vector of the wave beam may be parallel to ot have an angle THETA=arccos(2ω/ωsub(c)) with the magnetic field. Applications of GSE to the whistler propagation in density ducts are considered. The results are important for the problem of the self-focusing of whistler waves. (orig.)
