The thermal effects on the frequency spectra and damping decrements of the waves propagating in a plasma of two nonisothermal different types of degenerate and nondegenerate charge carriers are investigated. This is done by obtaining the Fourier transform of the transverse dielectric tensor elements of an unbounded collisionless warm degenerate plasma. It is shown that in a warm degenerate plasma, static Debye screening of the very slow low-frequency longitudinal waves is changed. Furthermore, it is shown that the skin effect of the transverse electromagnetic waves is related to the Landau damping.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
