Solar millisecond spikes manifest large-and small-scale inhomogeneities of the coronal plasma

A model for the generation of solar millisecond radio spikes via a maser cyclotron resonance is proposed. The model takes into account the large-scale inhomogeneity of the magnetic field and small-scale inhomogeneities of the coronal plasma. The efficiency of the energy transformation from a electron beam into maser radiation is estimated. Appropriate parameters of the magnetic field inhomogeneity and the plasma turbulence are found.
