abstract = "Electromagnetic wave fluctuations driven by temperature anisotropy
in plasmas are of interest for solar flare, solar corona, and
solar wind studies. We investigate the dispersion characteristics
of electromagnetic wave propagating perpendicular to the uniform
magnetic field which is derived by using multiple particle
distribution functions: Maxwellian, bi-kappa, and product
bi-kappa. The presence of temperature anisotropy in which the
parallel plasma kinetic energy density exceeding by a sufficient
amount can lead to Weibel-like electromagnetic instability. A
general description is made to calculate the growth/damping rates
of Weibel-like modes when the temperature anisotropy and
nonthermal features are associated with these distributions. We
demonstrate that for the zeroth cyclotron harmonic, our results
for bi-Maxwellian and bi-kappa overlap with each other, while the
product bi-kappa distribution shows some dependence on parallel
kappa index. For higher harmonics, the growth rates vanish and the
damping prevails.",
