Dielectric permeability tensor and linear waves in spin-1/2 quantum kinetics with non-trivial equilibrium spin-distribution functions

Abstract

A consideration of waves propagating parallel to the external magnetic field is presented. The dielectric permeability tensor is derived from quantum kinetic equations with non-trivial equilibrium spin-distribution functions (NTESDF) in the linear approximation on amplitude of wave perturbations. In general case, x- and y-projections of the SDF are nonzero which is called the non-trivial regime. Corresponding equilibrium solution is found. Contribution of the NTESDF appears in the dielectric permeability tensor in the additive form. It is explicitly found here. Corresponding modification in the dispersion equation for the transverse waves is derived. Contribution of NTESDF in the spectrum of transverse waves is calculated numerically. It is found that the term caused by the NTESDF can be comparable with the classic terms for the relatively small wave vectors and frequencies above the cyclotron frequency. In majority of regimes, the extra spin caused term dominates over the spin term found earlier, except the small frequency regime, where their contributions in the whistler spectrum are comparable. A decrease of the left-hand circularly polarized wave frequency, an increase of the high-frequency right-hand circularly polarized wave frequency, and a decrease of frequency changing by an increase of frequency at the growth of the wave vector for the whistler are found. A dramatic decrease of the spin wave frequency resulting in several times larger group velocity of the spin wave is found either. Found dispersion equations are used for obtaining of an effective quantum hydrodynamics reproducing these results. This generalization requires the introduction of corresponding equation of state for the thermal part of the spin current in the spin evolution equation.
