This book presents a comprehensive theoretical study of the electromagnetic eigenwaves propagating perpendicular to the axis of symmetry in various cylindrical waveguide-structures filled with magneto-active plasma. It is the second, updated and significantly expanded edition of our book "Surface Flute Waves in Plasmas. Theory and Applications", published in 2014 in the "Springer Series on Atomic, Optical, and Plasma Physics".

Produktbeschreibung
This book presents a comprehensive theoretical study of the electromagnetic eigenwaves propagating perpendicular to the axis of symmetry in various cylindrical waveguide-structures filled with magneto-active plasma. It is the second, updated and significantly expanded edition of our book "Surface Flute Waves in Plasmas. Theory and Applications", published in 2014 in the "Springer Series on Atomic, Optical, and Plasma Physics". First, the text is complemented by a study of the wave energy rotation around the axis of the waveguides. Second, excitation of these waves by an electron beam gyrating around the axis is investigated in detail. "Surface waves" means that these waves only propagate along plasma surfaces and not in uniform infinite plasmas. Their wave amplitudes decrease with going away from the plasma boundary into the plasma depth. "Flute" means that the axial wavenumbers kz of the waves in plasma cylinders are assumed to be zero, and the waves only propagate in azimuthal direction. In this case, the surfaces of constant density resemble fluted Greek columns. However, the presence of a small but finite kz can be taken into account by the method of successive approximations, using the theory of surface flute waves as zeroth approach. A variety of present applications of surface waves and possible future applications are also included.
The book applies to both professionals dealing with physical and technological problems of confined plasmas and to graduate and post-graduate students specializing in the fíelds of electrodynamics, plasma physics and related applications.
Autorenporträt
Volodymyr O. Girka was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine in 1957 and completed his M.S., Candidate of Science, and Doctor of Science degrees in plasma physics at V.N.Karazin Kharkiv National University (KKhNU), Kharkiv, in 1980, 1985, and 2001, respectively. From 2002 to 2015, he was a Professor at the Department of General and Applied Physics, KKhNU. He authored 3 textbooks, 3 monographs, and more than 80 papers. His research interests included the propagation, excitation, and absorption of surface-type electromagnetic waves (in particular, surface cyclotron waves and azimuthal flute modes) in devices for plasma electronics and plasma technologies. Prof. Girka was awarded the prize "High School of Kharkiv: the best names" by Kharkiv's Regional Governor and was nominated as "the recognized professor of fundamental subjects" in 2008. He passed away on November 3, 2015. Igor O. Girka was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine in 1962 and completed his M.S. degree in theoretical nuclear physics, and Candidate of Science and Doctor of Science degrees in plasma physics at V.N.Karazin Kharkiv National University (KKhNU), Kharkiv, in 1985, 1991, and 2004, respectively. From 2003 to 2005 he served as a Vice-President at KKhNU, and has been Dean of the KKhNU School of Physics and Technology since 2005. He has authored 5 textbooks, 3 monographs, and more than 90 papers. His current research interests include the propagation, conversion, and absorption of magneto hydrodynamic and surface-type electromagnetic waves in fusion devices and devices for plasma electronics. Prof. Girka was awarded the K.D. Synelnykov prize by the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NASU) in 2010. Since 2015, he has been Vice-President of the Ukrainian Physical Society, and in 2018 he was elected a corresponding member of the NASU. Manfred Thumm was born in Magdeburg, Germany, in 1943 and completed his Dipl. Phys. and Dr. rer. nat. degrees in physics at the University ofTübingen, Germany, in 1972 and 1976, respectively. From 1976 to 1990 he worked at the Institute for Plasma Research, University of Stuttgart, Germany. In June 1990 he became a Professor at University of Karlsruhe and Head of the Gyrotron and Microwave Technology Division at Institute for Technical Physics, Research Center Karlsruhe (later KIT). From 1999 to 2011, he served as Director of the Institute for Pulsed Power and Microwave Technology, KIT. Prof. Thumm has authored/co-authored 6 books, 21 book chapters, more than 400 journal papers, and more than 1500 articles in conference proceedings. He holds 14 patents for active and passive microwave devices, and has received 7 international awards since 2000. In 2002, he became an IEEE Fellow and was awarded the title of Honorary Doctor, presented by St. Petersburg State Technical University. His research interests include high-power microwave engineering and plasma heating.
