  • 1. Faculty of Physics, Sofia University, 1126 Sofia, Bulgaria

Description

It is pointed out that the parametric instability of surface modes in a semi-infinite plasma is a four-wave process and the threshold should be approx.0.7(m/sub i//m/sub e/)/sup 1/2/ times larger than that found by Yasumoto [J. Appl. Phys. 52, 3238 (1981)]
