The solar radio spikes can provide detailed information about plasma processes in solar flares on kinetic scales. Among them, the decimetric spikes belong to the most interesting ones because they are recorded in some cases close to the starting frequency of Type-III bursts and in relation to hard X-ray emissions. Stepanov et al. (1999) and Bárta and Karlický (2001) presented models where spike frequencies correspond to those of the upper-hybrid […]
