The electrical conductivity varies as cosh-2(x1/a), where x1 is the cross-sheet coordinate and a is the half width of a current layer centered about the midplane of the sheet. For a <~ 0.4L, where L is the distance between the boundary planes, the ground state is unstable to disturbances whose wavelengths parallel to the sheet lie between lower and upper bounds depending on the value of a and on the Hartmann number. Asymmetry of the configuration with respect to the midplane of the sheet, modelled by the addition of an externally imposed constant magnetic field to a symmetric equilibrium field, acts as a stabilizing factor.}, language = {en} } @article{SeehaferSchumacher1998, author = {Seehafer, Norbert and Schumacher, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Resistivity profile and instability of the plane sheet pinch}, year = {1998}, language = {en} } @book{SeehaferSchumacher1998, author = {Seehafer, Norbert and Schumacher, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Resistivity profile and instability of the plane sheet pinch}, series = {Preprint NLD}, volume = {44}, journal = {Preprint NLD}, publisher = {Univ.
