Two-component plasma in a gravitational field
In this paper we study a model for the sedimentation equilibrium of a charged colloidal suspension: the two-dimensional two-component plasma in a gravitational field which is exactly solvable at a special value of the reduced inverse temperature Γ = 2. The density profiles are computed. The heavy particles accumulate at the bottom of the cointainer. If the container is high enough, an excess of...
متن کاملTwo-Component Cosmological Fluids with Gravitational Instabilities
Abstract A survey of linearized cosmological fluid equations with a number of different matter components is made. To begin with, the one-component case is reconsidered to illustrate some important mathematical and physical points rarely discussed in the literature. The work of some previous studies of two-component systems are examined and re-analyzed to point out some deficiencies of solution...
متن کاملA dense two-component plasma in a strong gravity field and thermal conductivity of neutron stars
Electron – impurity scattering in the crust of neutron stars may be a relevant mechanism in delaying the cooling and in enhancing the decay of the pulsar’s magnetic field. Extending previous work, in the present note I investigate the physics of the interfaces between layers in the crust of an isolated neutron star. The calculations confirm the possible presence of high impurity concentrations ...
متن کاملHamiltonian of a homogeneous two-component plasma.
The Hamiltonian of one- and two-component plasmas is calculated in the negligible radiation Darwin approximation. Since the Hamiltonian is the phase space energy of the system its form indicates, according to statistical mechanics, the nature of the thermal equilibrium that plasmas strive to attain. The main issue is the length scale of the magnetic interaction energy. In the past a screening l...
متن کاملMagnetic field-aligned plasma currents in gravitational fields
Analytical models are presented for currents along vertical magnetic field lines due to slow bulk electron motion in plasmas subject to a gravitational force. It is demonstrated that a general feature of this problem is a singularity in the plasma pressure force that develops at some finite altitude when a plasma that is initially in static equilibrium is set into slow motion. Classical fluid m...
