Photon equivalent charge in a two-electron temperature Fermi plasma

Abstract

Abstract. The equivalent photon charge in a two-electron temperature Fermi plasma is determined through the plasma physics method. The Fermi plasma has distinct populations of hot and cold electrons that are described by a quantum hydrodynamic model which accounts for the quantum statistical pressure of the hot electrons and the quantum force acting on the two electron fluids. Relations for the coupling between the electron plasma density fluctuations and the radiation fields are derived, and the effective photon charge is then calculated.

Nonlinear wave propagation in a gravitating quantum fluid

“…In general, the phenomena associated with BEC are studied by the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE). The GPE has also been used to develop the quantum hydrodynamical model [5][6][7][8][9][10] to study the dynamics of quantum degenerate gases.…”

Nonlinear modulation of ion-acoustic waves in two-electron-temperature plasmas

“…The co-existence of cold and hot electrons has been revisited with respect to ion-acoustic [31,32] and electron-acoustic [33] pulses and double layers, surface electron-acoustic waves in dusty plasmas [34], multi-dimensional ES solitons in electron-positron plasmas [35], quantum plasmas [36], to mention only a few. The co-existence of cold and hot electrons has been revisited with respect to ion-acoustic [31,32] and electron-acoustic [33] pulses and double layers, surface electron-acoustic waves in dusty plasmas [34], multi-dimensional ES solitons in electron-positron plasmas [35], quantum plasmas [36], to mention only a few.…”

“…Recently, 2eT plasmas appear to have received new theoretical interest, as witnessed by an increasing number of studies on various plasma modes in such plasmas in the last decade. The co-existence of cold and hot electrons has been revisited with respect to ion-acoustic [31,32] and electron-acoustic [33] pulses and double layers, surface electron-acoustic waves in dusty plasmas [34], multi-dimensional ES solitons in electron-positron plasmas [35], quantum plasmas [36], to mention only a few. Space observations have also attracted interest in the high-frequency electron modes in 2eT plasmas [37,38], not overlooking related amplitude modulation studies [39,40].…”

Effective charge of photons and plasmons

“…This leads to a similar result, which contains the previous one as a limiting case. The concept was then extended to magnetized plasmas [7], and more recently, to relativistic plasmas [8], and to the case of quantum non-relativistic plasmas with two Fermi temperatures [9].…”
