Surface Waves in Degenerate Plasma
نویسنده
چکیده
In his 1968 paper [2], R.L. Guernsey derived the dispersion relation for surface waves on a semi infinite plasma confined by a perfect reflecting wall. The aim of the current project is to extend these results to the case of a fully degenerate electron gas described by the unit step function (a limiting case of the FermiDirac distribution). By only considering the effects of the distribution function we are able to use the results derived by Guernsey from the “classical” formalism of the Vlasov equation. However the conclusions we ultimately draw are limited by the fact that we are using a semi-classical description which neglects some “quantum” effects.

Degenerate four waves mixing in multilayer nanoshell
We will present a detailed investigation of intersubband transitions process in core-multi shells quantum dots. The confined wave functions and eigenenergies of electrons in quantum dots have been calculated under the effective-mass approximation by solving a three-dimensional Schrodinger equation. Excellent dependence is found between size effects, time relaxation and degenerate four wave mixi...

متن کاملPropagation of Nonlinear Surface Waves in Relativistically Degenerate Quantum Plasma Half-Space
The nonlinear self-interaction of an electrostatic surface wave on a semibounded quantum plasma with relativistic degeneracy is investigated by using quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) model and the Poisson’s equation with appropriate boundary conditions. It is shown that a part of the second harmonic generated through self-interaction does not have a true surface wave character but propagates obliquel...
