Pressure and compressibility in a quantum one-component plasma
With the help of scaling methods, a general relation is established between the thermodynamic pressure and the mechanical pressure tensor of an equilibrium one-component plasma in a magnetic field. The mechanical pressure tenser is shown to be anisotropic. A general proof of the compressibility sum rule for a magnetized quantum plasma is presented. Finally, fourth-order wavenumber inequalities for the static charge correlation function are derived.
Collective modes of the quantum one-component plasma in a magnetic field
Abstract We derive the collective modes of a quantum one-component plasma in a magnetic field by using a projection operator technique. With the help of these modes the long-time behaviour of the time correlation functions for the charge density, the current density and the energy density is determined in the limit of small wavenumbers.
