Unified fluid-model theory of $\mathbf{E}\times \mathbf{B}$ instabilities in low-ionized collisional plasmas with arbitrarily magnetized multi-species ions

Y. S. Dimant, M. M Oppenheim, S. Evans +1

This paper develops a unified linear theory of local cross-field plasma instabilities, such as the Farley-Buneman, electron thermal, and ion thermal instabilities, in collisional p…
