Short wavelength electromagnetic propagation in magnetized quantum plasmas
arXiv:physics/0703146 · doi:10.1063/1.2743028
Abstract
The quantum electrodynamical (QED) short wavelength correction on plasma wave propagation for a non-relativistic quantum plasma is investigated. A general dispersion relation for a thermal multi-component quantum plasma is derived. It is found that the classical dispersion relation for any wave mode can be modified to include quantum and short wavelength QED effects by simple substitutions of the thermal velocity and the plasma frequency. Furthermore, the dispersion relation has been modified to include QED effects of strong magnetic fields. It is found that strong magnetic fields together with the short wavelength QED correction will induce dispersion both in vacuum and in otherwise non-dispersive plasma modes. Applications to laboratory and astrophysical systems are discussed.
