  1. ; ; (, Physics of Plasmas)
    Lower hybrid drift instability (LHDI) is driven by the cross-field current and operates in the vicinity of the lower-hybrid frequency, between the ion- and electron-gyro frequencies, and with wavelengths between the electron and ion thermal gyro radii. The free energy source that drives this instability resides in the density gradient associated with an inhomogeneous plasma. The existing literature on LHDI assumes that the charged particle distribution function is given by a Maxwellian form, but the space plasma is pervasively observed to feature nonthermal characteristics. This paper extends the theory of LHDI to nonthermal plasmas. The generalized theory of LHDI is, thus, applicable to various space plasma environments characterized by nonthermal plasma velocity distribution functions.
