The current understanding of some important nonlinear collective processes in quantum
plasmas with degenerate electrons is presented. After reviewing the basic properties of …

Dense quantum plasmas are ubiquitous in planetary interiors and in compact astrophysical
objects (eg, the interior of white dwarf stars, in magnetars, etc.), in semiconductors and …

Quantum hydrodynamics (QHD) theory for finite temperature plasmas is consistently derived
in the framework of the local density approximation of the free energy with first order density …

A bandpass filter (BPF) with a notched band is designed based on the high-order mode of
spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPPs). The high-efficiency passband is developed from …

Solution-processed solar cells are particularly suited to benefit from absorption
enhancement by plasmonic nanoparticles, due to their transport-limited film thicknesses and …

In this paper, we revisit the hydrodynamic limit of the Langmuir wave dispersion relation
based on the Wigner-Poisson model in connection with that obtained directly from the …

The quantum vacuum constitutes a fascinating medium of study, in particular since near-
future laser facilities will be able to probe the nonlinear nature of this vacuum. There has …

A kinetic theory for spin plasmas is put forward, generalizing those of previous authors. In
the model, the ordinary phase space is extended to include the spin degrees of freedom …

Abstract Starting from the Pauli Hamiltonian operator, we derive scalar quantum kinetic
equations for spin-1/2 systems. Here, the regular Wigner two-state matrix is replaced by a …

Emerging possibilities for creating and studying novel plasma regimes, eg relativistic
plasmas and dense systems, in a controlled laboratory environment also require new …
