Magnetic susceptibility and Landau diamagnetism of quantum collisional plasma

详细

Quantum collisional plasma with an arbitrary degree of degeneracy of the electron gas is considered. Using the exact expression for the transverse electric conductivity of quantum collisional plasma, the magnetic susceptibility is described using the kinetic approach and a formula for calculating Landau diamagnetism is derived. Quantum Maxwellian plasma is considered as a special case. To this end, in the formulas derived, the limit is taken for the chemical potential tending to minus infinity. The properties of the magnetic susceptibility of quantum plasma are compared to those of degenerate and Maxwellian plasmas.
