Sharma, R.P., Kumar, A., Tripathi, Y.K. and Kumar, R. (1998). Generation of electrostatic whistler wave by extraordinary EM wave. Journal of Geophysical Research 103: doi: 10.1029/98JA02419. issn: 0148-0227.

The parametric decay instability of an extraordinary electromagnetic wave into an electron plasma wave and an electrostatic whistler wave has been studied. Explicit expressions for the homogeneous growth rate and threshold electric field have been presented for this instability. The relevance of the present parametric process has been pointed out to explain the generation of whistler mode radiations in the SL-2 experiment as well as in auroral magnetosphere (auroral hiss). ¿ 1998 American Geophysical Union
