摘要
A class of exact large-amplitude traveling-wave solutions to the nonlinear Vlasov-Maxwell equations describing a one-dimensional collisionless magnetized plasma is obtained. These waves are complementary to the electrostatic Bernstein-Greene-Kruskal modes and can be classified as nonlinear fast electromagnetic waves and (slow) electromagnetic whistler waves, The wave characteristics are discussed for the case of a trapped-particle distribution function.
