On quantum plasma kinetic equations with a Bohmian force
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 January 2010
Abstract
The dispersion relation arising from a Vlasov–Poisson system with a Bohmian force term is examined and compared to the more fundamental Bohm and Pines dispersion relation for quantum plasmas. Discrepancies are found already when considering the leading order thermal effects. The time-averaged energy densities for longitudinal modes are also shown to be noticeably different.
