摘要：

In this paper, we discuss spontaneous generation of Alfven waves. The discussion is motivated by the study of the solar transition region. We show that the heavy ions in this region can play critical roles. A quasilinear theory is derived. On the basis of this theory, we can discuss the saturation level of the wave spectral energy associated with each species of ions. Several essential issues relevant to the transition region are also discussed. (C) 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.
