In particular, the mechanism of modulational instability caused by three-wave interactions is elucidated and the explicit increment is calculated. Also, a stability criterion similar to the known Lighthill criterion is found.On the modulational stability of magnetic structures in electron drift turbulencetext::journal::journal article::research article
