Unlike the uniform plasma analysis in Section 7.4, here both plasma non-uniformity and
wall boundary conditions must be taken into account. The change in system energyW ̄ due
to establishment of the diocotron wave is found by integratingw ̄over volume and is


W ̄ =

where Eq.(16.55) and the perfectly conducting wall boundary conditionφ 1 (a) = 0have
been used. Using Eq.(7.62) and (16.32), the energy for a givenlmode can be written as

In order to evaluate this expression, it is necessary to express allfluctuating quantities
in terms of the oscillating potentialφ ̃l. Using Poisson’s equation in Eq.(16.35) it is seen
that
