Phase Mixing of Propagating Alfvén Waves in a Single-fluid Partially Ionized Solar Plasma

The phase mixing of Alfvén waves is one of the most promising mechanisms for the heating of the solar atmosphere. The damping of waves in this case requires small transversal scales, relative to the magnetic field direction; this requirement is achieved by considering a transversal inhomogeneity in...
