Notes:
Novel electrostatic instabilities are shown to exist in a weakly ionized magnetoplasma having equilibrium density and electron temperature gradients. The growth rate of the instabilities critically depends on collisions between charged particles and neutral atoms. It is suggested that the present instabilities could be potential candidates for generating enhanced fluctuations during strong auroral activities in the E region of Earth's ionosphere, in cometary plasmas, as well as in controlled laboratory experiments.
