Abstract
In recent years, there has been considerable interest in studying the influence of ionization phenomena on low-frequency fluctuations in experiments in high-temperature plasmas [1, 2]. The ionization phenomena easily couple to low-frequency fluctuations since the ionization rate is of the order of magnitude of the mode frequencies and the growth rates of these modes. The local increase of the plasma density in the fluctuations — as a result of compression or convection effects — leads to enhancement of the ionization rate and this influences directly the growth rate of the fluctuations. The aim of the study is to consider the influence of ionization effects on the increment of the drift-dissipative instability (DDI) in weakly ionized plasmas of d.c. discharges.
