Establishment of Different Electromagnetic Waves Propagation Modes of Hot Plasma Located in Rotating Electromagnetic Field | Chapter 1 | New Frontiers in Physical Science Research Vol. 1

 This chapter demonstrated that depending on whether the temperature is thought to be finite or infinite, heated plasma in a rotating electromagnetic field can propagate electromagnetic waves in different ways. For this medium, we have derived the dielectric tensor expression. And we discovered that, depending on the temperature, the impacts of temperature are expressed by an exponential factor. It is important to note that at infinite temperature, the plasma is fully transparent, isotropic, and has a refractive index of one. We discovered three elliptical hybrid polarisation modes, one of which is polarised in the plane of wave propagation while the other two have their transverse components elliptically polarised in the plane perpendicular to the direction of the vector k. This is because the temperature is not too high. We have two regular transverse waves that are linearly polarised and have the same phase velocity as the speed of light in vacuum (Vph = C) in any direction of propagation.
