Functions

plasma_dispersion_func(zeta)	Calculate the plasma dispersion function.
plasma_dispersion_func_deriv(zeta)	Calculate the derivative of the plasma dispersion function.
tfds_(*, B, ion, k, n_i, T_e, T_i, theta[, …])	Alias to two_fluid_dispersion_solution().
two_fluid_dispersion_solution(*, B, ion, k, …)	Using the solution provided by Bellan 2012, calculate the analytical solution to the two fluid, low-frequency (\(\omega/kc \ll 1\)) dispersion relation presented by Stringer 1963.
