Plasmon instability in the simultaneous presence of laser and dc electric fields
We investigate here the conditions for plasmon instability in a plasma at arbitrary temperature excited by an intense light field and taking into account the additional presence of an external static electric field. We find that the static electric field lowers the threshold laser field amplitude fo...

Summary: | We investigate here the conditions for plasmon instability in a plasma at arbitrary temperature excited by an intense light field and taking into account the additional presence of an external static electric field. We find that the static electric field lowers the threshold laser field amplitude for plasmon instability to occur. |
