✦ Synopsis

The hysteresis transitions between two temperature atatee of a collisional magnetoplasma due to Joule heating near by the electron gyroreeonance are analyaed. The propagation of intense extra-ordinary gyroresonant microwave acropoIyI the magnetic field in a plasma is responsible for such jump-like thermic effects, the wave amplitudes being less than the "characteristic plasma field". The transversal heet conductivity may lead to formation of spatially periodical temperature profiles in the hysteresis region of wave's intensity; the spatial periods of such profiles are much less than the Joule dissipation length of heating wave. The thermodiffusion, stimulated by temperature lamination. may form the spatial osoillations of magneto-plasma density aacross the magnetic field.
