In plasma physics, an Alfvén wave, named after Hannes Alfvén, is a type of plasma wave in which ions oscillate in response to a restoring force provided...

isotropically with the Alfvén speed, ω2 f = k2v2 A. In this limit, the fast mode is sometimes referred to as a compressional Alfvén wave. When the wavevector...

The writer was Inger Alfvén and is well known for her work in Sweden. The composer Hugo Alfvén was Hannes Alfvén's uncle. Alfvén studied the history of...

what are now referred to as Alfvén waves. Alfvén initially referred to these waves as "electromagnetic–hydrodynamic waves"; however, in a later paper...
