Abstract
The spin effects on the propagation characteristic of circularly polarized electromagnetic (EM) wave in high density strongly magnetized plasma are discussed based on the the classical hydrodynamical model of relativistic spin plasma. The dielectric coefficients for right-hand circularly polarized (RCP) and left-hand circularly polarized (LCP) waves are obtained. Results show that the spin effects can affect the propagation characteristic of circularly polarized EM wave dramatically. Provided the spin effect is strong enough, LCP waves can also propagate in the magnetized over-dense plasma, while RCP waves may not. The strength of spin effects can be enhanced by increasing the plasma density or/and EM wave intensity.
期刊介绍:
High Energy Density Physics is an international journal covering original experimental and related theoretical work studying the physics of matter and radiation under extreme conditions. ''High energy density'' is understood to be an energy density exceeding about 1011 J/m3. The editors and the publisher are committed to provide this fast-growing community with a dedicated high quality channel to distribute their original findings.
Papers suitable for publication in this journal cover topics in both the warm and hot dense matter regimes, such as laboratory studies relevant to non-LTE kinetics at extreme conditions, planetary interiors, astrophysical phenomena, inertial fusion and includes studies of, for example, material properties and both stable and unstable hydrodynamics. Developments in associated theoretical areas, for example the modelling of strongly coupled, partially degenerate and relativistic plasmas, are also covered.
