Abstract
We investigate the dispersion relation for travelling helicon waves in a uniform non-resistive plasma. We show that the effect of electron inertia for a cylindrical plasma bounded by conducting walls is qualitatively different from the plane wave case, leading to significant differences in the dispersion relation at all frequencies in the range 0 < ω < Ωe.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
