摘要
The nonlinear theory of the magnetic electron mode is developed. It is shown that the model equations describing this mode has stationary localized solutions of the monopole vortex type. The vortices travel in the direction perpendicular to the inhomogeneities of the plasma with a velocity determined by the ratio between the temperature perturbation and the magnetic field of the vortex. For the vortex to be stationary and localized, this velocity must be larger than the phase velocity of the linear waves.
