The plasma potentially produces a plethora of such instabilities, due to the fact that it is in a state far from thermodynamic equilibrium, with steep density, temperature, and pressure gradients. | The plasma potentially produces a plethora of such instabilities, due to the fact that it is in a state far from thermodynamic equilibrium, with steep density, temperature, and pressure gradients. | ||
