Abstract

The system of electron beam - degenerate Fermi gas in a magnetic field is investigated. Instabilities of the quantized longitudinal electric waves are studied by a newly derived dispersion equation. Novel branches of longitudinal waves are found, which have no analogies without the Landau quantization. Growth rates of these new modes are obtained. The excitation of the zero sound by an electron beam is discussed and found that the quantization of the energy of electrons imposes a new condition. Furthermore, the excitation of Bogolyubov's type of spectrum by a strong electric field is considered.

Elementary Excitations in Quantum Fermi Liquid

Nodar L. Tsintsadze, Levan N. Tsintsadze

Landau's theory of Fermi liquids is generalized by incorporating the de Broglie waves diffraction. A newly derived kinetic equation of the Fermi particles is used to derive a general dispersion relation and the excitation of zero sound is studied. A new mode is found due to the quantum correction. It is shown that the zero sound can exist even in an ideal Fermi gas. We also disclose a new branch of frequency spectrum due to the weak interaction.

Longitudinal waves in electrically polarized quantum Fermi gas: quantum hydrodynamics approximation

Pavel A. Andreev

The method of many-particle quantum hydrodynamics has been recently developed, particularly this method has been used for an electrically polarized Bose-Einstein condensate. In this paper, we present the development of this method for an electrically polarized three dimensional Fermi gas. We derive corresponding dynamical equations: equation polarization and equation of polarization current evolution as well as the Euler and continuity equations. We study dispersion dependencies of collective excitations in a polarized Fermi gas and consider interference of an equilibrium polarization on dispersion properties.

Relativistic Thermodynamics of Magnetized Fermi Electron Gas

Nodar L. Tsintsadze, Levan N. Tsintsadze

To study the relativistic thermodynamic properties of a Fermi gas in a strong magnetic field, we construct the relativistic thermodynamic potential by the relativistic Fermi distribution function taking into account that the motion of particles in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field is quantized. With this general potential at hand, we investigate all the thermodynamic quantities as a function of densities, temperatures and the magnetic field. We obtain a novel set of adiabatic equations. Having the expression of the pressure and adiabatic state equations, we determine the sound velocity for several cases revealing a new type of sound velocity. Finally, we disclose the magnetic cooling in the quantized electron Fermi gas, which is based on an adiabatic magnetization in contrast to the known adiabatic demagnetization.

Effect of Bohm potential on a charged gas

D. Mostacci, Vincenzo Molinari, Francesco Pizzio

Abstract Bohm’s interpretation of Quantum Mechanics leads to the derivation of a Quantum Kinetic Equation (QKE): in the present work, propagation of waves in charged quantum gases is investigated starting from this QKE. Dispersion relations are derived for fully and weakly degenerate fermions and bosons (for the latter above critical temperature) and the differences discussed. Use of a kinetic equation permits investigation of “Landau-type” damping: it is found that the presence of damping in fermion gases is dependent upon the degree of degeneracy, whereas it is always present in boson gases. In fully degenerate fermions a phenomenon appears that is akin to the “zero sound” propagation.

Spin Waves in Paramagnetic Fermi Gases

L. L. Van Zandt

The nature of spin-type zero sound, "paramagnetic spin waves" (PSW's), in free-electron gases is studied by means of the time-dependent Hartree-Fock approximation. The importance of attractive interactions is emphasized. A short-wavelength cutoff in the spectrum at microwave or low infrared frequencies is found. The effect of the application of magnetic fields is studied. The frequencies are shifted by the Larmor precession. Some branches of the spectrum are effectively eliminated; others are strengthened and split. Spin wave fronts travel in helices about magnetic field lines. PSW's are damped by electron collisions with crystal imperfections. The relaxation time is identical with the relaxation time as determined by the dc conductivity. Electron-electron collision damping is also studied and found to be negligible by comparison. The observation of Landau-damped modes is considered and conditions where this is possible are indicated. A boundary condition is found: A surface must be at an antinode of the spin density. A microwave, "thin"-film resonance experiment is suggested. The strength of the resonance lines is considered. An expression for power dissipation at PSW resonance is derived.
