Plasma Waves

This module allows you to calculate the phase and group velocities of right- and left-handed plasma waves, their ellipticity, wavelengths, and index of refraction with varying magnetic field strength density and wave frequency. This module treats an electron and multiple-ion plasma (up to four species).
