Plasma oscillons in spherically bounded magnetized plasmas

Oscillating patterns of nonlinear waves in a cold non-neutral magnetized plasma bounded by a spherical dielectric are obtained. These patterns, or oscillons, are composed of bulk and surface waves that are strongly but not resonantly coupled.
