Induced magnetic field by the interaction between electromagnetic waves and a plasma metamaterial: quantum effect

Abstract

Microplasmas have pulled an extensive consideration in different applications, however, their application to metamaterials is a totally different and promising assessment target. In this way, we employed the quantum fluid model and the Maxwell equations to study the interaction between high dense plasma metamaterial and electromagnetic waves. The dispersion relation is deduced for transverse waves, and the stability of electromagnetic wave packets is examined. Further, our findings reveal that the harmonic waves are affected by the Bohm potential. The interaction between electromagnetic waves and plasma metamaterials with streaming electrons leads to a gradually fluctuating magnetic field because of the non-stationary ponderomotive force of high-frequency electromagnetic waves. Such investigations can fortify the prediction of the propagation of harmonic modes and the control of plasma filamentation in the plasma metamaterial.
