摘要
We obtain two alternative forms of the dispersion relation for electron Bernstein waves in a relativistic plasma, propagating at right angles to the equilibrium magnetic field. We show that its low-temperature limit leads to the well known classical result. The dispersion relations obtained could be important if electron Bernstein waves are to be used in the heating of a plasma to relativistic energies.
