Basic properties of nonlinear surface charge waves at a plasma boundary

Publication date: Available online 23 August 2018Source: Physics Letters AAuthor(s): O.M. Gradov, L. StenfloAbstractThe nonlinear properties of surface charges are here analyzed under ideal conditions. We thus deduce a new single equation from the wellknown equations which govern the cold electron plasma motion. Simple formulas that describe the propagation of surface charge perturbations along the plasma boundary are also found.
