Electrostatic ion cyclotron wave
ID: electrostatic-ion-cyclotron-wave
Electrostatic ion cyclotron waves (EIC waves) are plasma waves that occur in a magnetized plasma environment, where the motion of ions is influenced by both electric and magnetic fields. These waves are specifically related to the oscillations of ions around their equilibrium positions in a magnetic field and arise due to the restoring force exerted by the electric field within the plasma.
