The Temperature of Electrons in a Weakly-Ionized Plasma with a Non-Linear Skin Effect,
Abstract
The authors examine the nonlinear skin effect of electromagnetic waves in a weakly-ionized plasma under conditions of a nonlocal connection between the electron temperature and the strength of the high-frequency electric field in the plasma. It is shown that the dependence of the electron temperature established in the plasma on the intensity of the incident, electromagnetic wave can be ambiguous. As a result, when the electromagnetic waves reach a specific intensity, their coefficient of reflection from the surface of the weakly-ionized plasma can decrease abruptly. (Modified author abstract)
