Relativistic quantum plasma dispersion functions

چکیده
Relativistic quantum plasma dispersion functions are defined and the longitudinal and transverse response functions for an electron (plus positron) gas are written in terms of them. The dispersion is separated into Landau-damping, paircreation and dissipationless regimes. Explicit forms are given for the RQPDFs in the cases of a completely degenerate distribution and a nondegenerate thermal (Jüttner) distribution. Particular emphasis is placed on the relation between dissipation and dispersion, with the dissipation treated in terms of the imaginary parts of RQPDFs. Comparing the dissipation calculated in this way with the existing treatments leads to the identification of errors in the literature, which we correct. We also comment on a controversy as to whether the dispersion curves in a superdense plasma pass through the region where pair creation is allowed.

Wave dispersion in gyrotropic relativistic pulsar plasmas.
Wave dispersion in a gyrotropic relativistic pulsar plasma is discussed. A pulsar plasma in general contains electrons, positrons, and possibly ions. Although electron-positron pairs are dominant in number density, charge neutrality is generally not satisfied and the gyrotropic terms need to be considered. These gyrotropic terms can lead to elliptical polarization that may be relevant for the o...

Based on quantum hydrodynamics theory (QHD), the propagation of nonlinear quantum dust-ion acoustic (QDIA) solitary waves in a collision-less, unmagnetized four component quantum plasma consisting of electrons, positrons, ions and stationary negatively charged dust grains with dust charge variation is investigated using reductive perturbation method.

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to present a new generalized form of the Appleton-Hartree formulation. To that end, we use a system of linearized quantum plasma equations to include quantum corrections due to the quantum force produced by the density fluctuations of electrons. Dispersion relations and their modifications resulting form quantum effects are derived for both quasi-parallel ...
