Magnetic Quantum String Waves in Non-Degenerate Quantum Plasma

Instabilities of transverse waves due to a constant magnetic field in a non-degenerate quantum electron-ion plasmas are studied. A new type of cyclotron oscillation with a small growth rate is disclosed. Excitation of a new quantum mode is also revealed. Furthermore, the kinetic instabilities of Alfven waves are discussed and the growth rates are obtained. A novel branch of waves that we call a magnetic quantum string waves is found.

Relativistic Thermodynamics of Magnetized Fermi Electron Gas

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.

Magnetization Cooling of an Electron Gas

We propose an adiabatic magnetization process for cooling the Fermi electron gas to ultra-low temperatures as an alternative to the known adiabatic demagnetization mechanism. We show via a new adiabatic equation that at the constant density the increase of the magnetic field leads to the temperature decrease as $T\sim 1/H^2$.

New Longitudinal Waves in Electron-Positron-Ion Quantum Plasmas

A general quantum dispersion equation for electron-positron(hole)-ion quantum plasmas is derived and studied for some interesting cases. In an electron-positron degenerate Fermi gas, with or without the Madelung term, a new type of zero sound waves are found. Whereas in an electron-hole plasmas a new longitudinal quantum waves are revealed, which have no analogies in quantum electron-ion plasmas. The excitation of these quantum waves by a low-density monoenergetic straight electron beam is examined. Furthermore, the KdV equation for novel quantum waves is derived and the contribution of the Madelung term in the formation of the KdV solitons is discussed.

Elementary Excitations in Quantum Fermi Liquid

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.

Excitation of Quantized Longitudinal Electric Waves in a Degenerate Fermi Gas

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.

Excitation of Longitudinal Waves in a Degenerate Isotropic Quantum Plasma

A dispersion equation, which describes the interaction of low density electron beam with a degenerate electron quantum plasma, is derived and examined for some interesting cases. In addition to the instabilities similar to those for classical plasma, due to the quantum effect a new type of instability is found. Growth rates of these new modes, which are purely quantum, are obtained. Furthermore, the excitation of Bogolyubov's type of spectrum by a strong electric field is discussed.

Quantization of Longitudinal Electric Waves in Plasmas

Effects of the Landau diamagnetism and the Pauli paramagnetism on the longitudinal electric wave characteristics in a quantum plasma are studied. It is shown that a dispersion relation of the longitudinal wave propagating along a magnetic field strongly depends on the magnetic field, in radical contrast to the classical case. New modes of quantum plasma waves due to the magnetic field are found.

Model of neutral Bose atoms in dense strongly coupled plasmas with attractive interaction is discussed. A set of fluid equations describing the quantum plasmas is obtained. Furthermore, the equation of state of a degenerate Fermi plasma is derived.

A new Concept of Ball Lightning

We suggest that the ball lightning (BL) is a weakly ionized gas, in which the electromagnetic radiation can be accumulated through the Bose-Einstein condensation and/or the photon trapping in the plasma density well. We derive the set of equations describing the stability of BL, and show that the BL moving along charged surface becomes unstable. Eventually the instability leads to explosion of BL and release of energy of the trapped photons and/or the Bose-Einstein condensate.

Nonlinear excitation of photonikos and plasmons by high-power, short pulse lasers

Modulational excitation of longitudinal photons (photonikos) and electron Langmuir waves, as well as ion sound waves by an incoherent strong and superstrong radiation (high-power short pulse lasers, non-thermal equilibrium cosmic field radiation, etc.) in plasmas are investigated. A simultaneous generation of photonikos and plasmons are demonstrated. Furthermore, the kinetic instability is considered when a low frequency photonikos are generated alone. Growth rates of these new modes are obtained.

In particular, a novel oscillatory Weibel instability is found and its growth rate is obtained. We reveal a transverse zero-sound in a quantum degenerate electron gas, which has no counterpart in the classical consideration.

Weibel Instabilities in Dense Quantum Plasmas

The quantum effect on the Weibel instability in an unmagnetized plasma is presented. Our analysis shows that the quantum effect tends to stabilize the Weibel instability in the hydrodynamic regime, whereas it produces a new oscillatory instability in the kinetic regime. A novel effect the quantum damping, which is associated with the Landau damping, is disclosed. The new quantum Weibel instability may be responsible for the generation of non-stationary magnetic fields in compact astrophysical objects as well as in the forthcoming intense laser-solid density plasma experiments.

Nonlinear Dynamics of Incoherent Superstrong Radiation in a Plasma

We present a new concept of nonlinear dynamics of incoherent superstrong radiation in plasmas. Recently we have disclosed a novel mechanism of the establishment of equilibrium between a photon and a dense photon bunch through the exchange of longitudinal photons (Tsintsadze 2004 Phys. Plasmas 11, 855). Based on this mechanism of the "Compton" scattering type, we have generalized Wigner-Moyal equation for the dense photon gas, including the collision integral for the occupation number of photons. In the geometric optics approximation the Wigner-Moyal type of equation reduces to the one particle Vlasov-Boltzmann equation for the photon gas. From this equation, which gives a microscopic description of the photon gas, we derive a set of fluid equations, and consider numerically the formation of 3D shock waves.

A new aspects of physics of a photon gas

Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) and evaporation of transverse photons from the Bose condensate is studied in the case when the density of plasma does not change. The generation of the longitudinal photons (photonikos) by the transverse photons (photons) in terms of the Cherenkov type of radiation in a uniform plasma is demonstrated. The Bogoliubov energy spectrum is derived for photonikos. A new physical phenomena of the "Compton" scattering type in nonlinear photon gas is discussed. To this end, a new version of the Pauli equation in the wavevector representation is derived. The formation of Bose-Einstein condensate and evaporation of photons from the condensate is investigated by means of the newly derived Fokker-Planck equation for photonikos. The relevance of this work to recent discovery of black hole X-ray jets is pointed out.

Hydrodynamic description of neutrino gas

The system of neutrino-antineutrino $(ν\barν)$ - plasma is considered taking into account their weak Fermi interaction. New fluid instabilities driven by strong neutrino flux in a plasma are found. The nonlinear stationary as well as nonstationary waves in the neutrino gas are discussed. It is shown that a bunch of neutrinos, drifting with a constant velocity across a homogeneous plasma, can also induce emission of lower energy neutrinos due to scattering, i.e. the decay of a heavy neutrino $ν_{H}$ into a heavy and a light neutrino $ν_L$ ($ν_H\toν_Hν_L$) in a plasma. Furthermore we find that the neutrino production in stars does not lead in general to energy losses from the neutron stars.

Bose-Einstein Condensation and Intermediate State of the Photon Gas

Possibility of establishment of equilibrium between the photon and the dense photon bunch is studied. In the case, when the density of plasma does not change, the condition of production of the Bose-Einstein condensate is obtained. It is shown that the inhomogeneity of density of photons leads to a new intermediate state of the photon gas.
