Drift instability of a 2D magnetoplasma in a periodic potential

We examine the drift instability of a magnetized 2D electron plasma in a weak periodic potential, taking account of a steady current. In this, we treat a strong magnetic field inducing Landau quantization, and analyze both the inter- and intra-Landau band aspects of the magneto-plasmon spectrum within the framework of the random phase approximation, determining the occurrence of magnetoplasmon instability as a function of drift speed.
