Govind S. Krishnaswami, Rajaram Nityananda, Abhijit Sen, Anantanarayanan Thyagaraja

摘要:

某些最近的半经典自旋半量子等离子体理论的内部一致性,物理适用性和相关的融合,天体物理和凝聚态等离子体检查。它表明,在这些理论的推导和得到的一些结果是内部不一致的,并违背了量子力学和统计力学的既定原则,特别是在他们的治疗费米子和自旋。声称大的半经典效应的自旋磁矩,可以主导等离子体动力学被发现是无效的,无论是单粒子和集体。高温下拉莫尔矩占主导地位,而低温下由于泡利阻塞,自旋矩取消。从各种等离子体的显式的数值估计提供证明,自旋效应确实比许多被忽视的经典效应小得多。所作的分析表明,上述“自旋量子流体力学”理论与传统的实验室或天体物理学等离子体无关。

英文摘要:

Certain recent semi-classical theories of spin-half quantum plasmas are examined with regard to their internal consistency, physical applicability and relevance to fusion, astrophysical and condensed matter plasmas. It is shown that the derivations and some of the results obtained in these theories are internally inconsistent and contradict well-established principles of quantum and statistical mechanics, especially in their treatment of fermions and spin. Claims of large semi-classical effects of spin magnetic moments that could dominate the plasma dynamics are found to be invalid both for single-particles and collectively. Larmor moments dominate at high temperature while spin moments cancel due to Pauli blocking at low temperatures. Explicit numerical estimates from a variety of plasmas are provided to demonstrate that spin effects are indeed much smaller than many neglected classical effects. The analysis presented suggests that the aforementioned `Spin Quantum Hydrodynamic' theories are not relevant to conventional laboratory or astrophysical plasmas.
