A method of building and investigation of the Fermi surfaces for three-dimensional crystals subjected to a uniform magnetic field is presented. The Hamiltonian of a charged particle in the crystal is treated in the framework of the zero-range potential theory. The dispersion relation for the Hamiltonian is obtained in an explicit form.

We have studied the behaviour of a charged particle in an axially symmetric magnetic field having a neutral point, so as to find a possibility of confining a charged particle in a thermonuclear device. In order to study the motion we have reduced a three-dimensional motion to a two-dimensional one by introducing a fictitious potential. Following Schmidt we have classified the motion, as an ‘off-axis motion’ and ‘encircling motion’ depending on the behaviour of this potential. We see that the particle performs a hybrid type of motion in the negative z-axis, i.e. at some instant it is in ‘off-axis motion’ while at another instant it is in ‘encircling motion’. We have also solved the equation of motion numerically and the graphs of the particle trajectory verify our analysis. We find that in most of the cases the particle is contained. The magnetic moment is found to be moderately adiabatic.

AbstractThe effect of a magnetic field and suspended dust particles on both the Kelvin-Helmholtz (K-H) and the Rayleigh-Taylor (R-T) instability of two superimposed streaming magnetized plasmas is investigated. The magnetized fluids are assumed to be incompressible and flowing on top of each other. The usual magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations are considered with suspended dust particles. The basic equations of the problem are linearized and the dispersion relation is obtained using normal mode analysis by applying the appropriate boundary conditions. The general dispersion relation is found to be modified due to the presence of the suspended dust particles and of the magnetic field. The effect of the magnetic field appears in the dispersion relation if three-dimensional perturbations of the system are considered. The general conditions of the K-H instability as well as the R-T instability are derived for the considered medium. The stability of the system for both cases is discussed by applying the Routh-Hurwitz criterion. Numerical analysis is performed to show the effect of various parameters on the growth rates of the K-H and R-T instabilities. Three different cases of the present configurations are considered and the conditions of instability are obtained. It is found that the conditions for the K-H and R-T instabilities depend on the magnetic field, on the suspended dust particles and on the relaxation frequency of the particles. The magnetic field and particle density have stabilizing influence, while the density difference between the fluids has a destabilizing influence on the growth rate of the K-H and R-T configurations.

The excitation of the whistler mode waves propagating obliquely to the constant and uniform magnetic field in a warm and inhomogeneous plasma in the presence of an inhomogeneous beam of suprathermal electrons is studied. The full dispersion relation including electromagnetic effects is derived. In the electrostatic limit the expression for the growth rate is given. It is found that the inhomogeneities in both beam and plasma number densities affect the growth rates of the instabilities.

The motion of a charged particle in the field of a plane circularly polarized wave propagating along a uniform magnetic field B0 is investigated. For the wave magnetic field small compared with B0, the equations of motion simplify to those of the pendulum, and a simple picture of what happens for particles near gyro- resonance results. Expressions are found for the amplitude and period of the pitch angle oscillations. Departures from uniformity and possible applications to the magnetosphere are briefly discussed.
