Kolmogorov weakly turbulent spectra of some types of drift waves in plasmas

A possibility of a realization of Kolmogorov (power-law) spectra of weak turbulence of lower-hybrid drift waves in plasmas with hot ions and for some types of electron gradient waves in inhomogeneous magnetized plasmas is shown. The turbulence due to a vector or scalar nonlinearity is discussed.
