In recent years the significant progress in satellite-based
observations of plasma states and associated electromagnetic
phenomena in space has resulted in the accumulation of much
evidence of various plasma instabilities. Today plasma
instabilities are believed to be responsible for electromagnetic
radiation as well as for many of the macroscopic dynamics of
plasmas in space. Most students who begin to study plasma physics
are intrigued by the unstable nature of plasmas compared with other
states of matter; however, they often become frustrated because
there are so many in stabilities. Such frustration explains in part
why there is no textbook which treats this subject exclusively. A
description of plasma instabilities in a systematic way is
nontrivial and takes a pertinacious effort. This book is an attempt
to provide a basic introduction on the subject and covers most of
the important instabilities. However, the author must apologize for
any omission of references to contributions of individuals who
deserve more credit. The reader is assumed to have a general
knowledge of plasma physics obtainable in an undergraduate course.
The book is intended to be used as a reference text on the subject
of plasma instabilities at the under graduate level as well as for
a text in a special course in graduate school. Because the book is
part of a series on physics and chemistry in space, emphasis is
placed on plasma instabilities relevant in space plasmas."
