摘要
Propagation and damping of ion-acoustic waves have been investigated in a Q-machine plasma consisting of K+ positive ions, SF-6 negative ions, and electrons. The phase velocity of the ion-acoustic "fast" mode increases with increasing epsilon, the concentration of negative ions. The wave damping decreases with increasing epsilon, and nearly disappears, for the highest wave frequencies investigated, when epsilon-approximately-greater-than 0.9. Both results are in agreement with predictions from Vlasov theory.
