Scientific paper

A new mechanism for exciting the kinetic ion cyclotron waves in the presence of a nonuniform electric field perpendicular to the external magnetic field is given. Application of this instability to various space plasmas is discussed. The new instability mechanism may provide a more efficient agent for perpendicular ion heating than other EIC generation processes, since the linear growth rate is insensitive to the temperature ratio.
