This study investigates Electrostatic Ion Cyclotron (EIC) waves and their behaviour in weakly collisional plasmas, utilizing a proposed kinetic analytical model. The findings include alterations in EIC wave dispersion characteristics due to collisions, with parameters such as dust density, collision frequency, gyro-radius, magnetic field, density ratio, and electric field influencing wave growth rate and frequency. Temperature analysis reveals that higher electron-to-ion temperature ratios lead to increased frequency and critical drift velocity, while decreasing the growth rate. In addition, the critical drift velocity is studied for the unstable mode and it is observed that the relative density ratio increases with a reduction in critical drift velocity. Electron collisions destabilize EIC waves, while ion collisions stabilize them. Furthermore, the presence of dust particles decreases the growth rate of EIC waves as dust grain density increases. These results align with observations reported in previous literature.

Of all the techniques used for heating plasmas in fusion devices, waves in the Ion Cyclotron Resonance Frequency (ICRF ∼ MHz) continue to be exceptionally advantageous and unique insofar as it enables to deposit of power directly on ions in the core, significantly enhancing fast ion population together with fusion reaction products. However, because of the multiple inherent challenges—such as matching robustness, antenna design, wave coupling efficiency, wave propagation, wave absorption, and plasma surface interactions due to radiofrequency (RF) sheath excitation—ICRF is often one of the most complex heating systems to implement successfully. This chapter provides a brief introduction of these challenges and their respective underlying physics, together with examples of both simulations and experimental results from various tokamaks around the world. Finally, ICRF advantages and applications on present and future devices and perspectives of technological solutions are discussed and summarized.
