Parametric instabilities and the associated ion heating in the presence of two-ion species have been studied using a one-dimensional, quasi-neutral particle simulation model. At an early stage the heating is due to trapping or resonance heating of the decay waves. When the average Larmor radius reaches half the excited electrostatic wavelength, the heating becomes stochastic.
