摘要
An experimental study of surface wave propagation in a low-pressure collisional plasma column generated by the wave itself is presented. It is experimentally demonstrated that the maximum wave number value attainable decreases with increasing collisional effects. The separate effects of collisions and radial plasma inhomogeneity on the wave propagation are investigated. Some practical considerations concerning the correct measurement of the phase and attenuation diagrams are pointed out. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S0021-8979(99)01605-9].
