bow shock
boundary between a magnetosphere and an ambient magnetized medium, for example when the solar wind encounters the magnetic field of Earth
Alfvén wave
plasma wave in which ions oscillate in response to a restoring force provided by an effective tension on the magnetic field lines
plasma oscillation
rapid oscillations of the electron density in conducting media such as plasmas or metals
waves in plasmas
in plasma physics, an interconnected set of particles and fields which propagate in a periodically repeating fashion

electron cyclotron resonance
an electron in a static and uniform magnetic field will move in a circle due to the Lorentz force
