Jeans-Alfvén instability in quantum dusty magnetoplasmas
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 February 2017
Abstract
The Jeans instability is examined in quantum dusty magnetoplasmas due to low-frequency magnetosonic perturbations. The fluid model consisting of the momentum balance equation for quantum plasmas, Poisson’s equation for the gravitational potential and Maxwell’s equations for electromagnetic magnetosonic perturbations is solved. The numerical analysis elaborates the significant contribution of magnetic field, electron number density and variable dust mass to the Jeans instability.
