Plasmon band gap generated by intense ion acoustic waves

Plasma Physics 2010-04-27 v3 Optics

Abstract

In the presence of an intense ion acoustic wave, the energy-momentum dispersion relation of plasmons is strongly modified to exhibit a band gap structure. The intensity of an ion acoustic wave might be measured from the band gap width. The plasmon band gap can be used to block the nonlinear cascading channel of Langmuir wave decay
