Propagation of Waves in Weakly Ionized Two-fluid Plasmas. I. Small-amplitude Alfvénic Waves
The large abundance of electrically neutral particles has a remarkable impact on the dynamics of many astrophysical plasmas. Here, we use a two-fluid model that includes charge-neutral elastic collisions and Hall's current to study the propagation of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) waves in weakly ionized plasmas. We derive the dispersion relation for
