Wave spectra of strongly coupled magnetized plasmas

ORAL

Abstract

Results are presented for the wave propagation in a strongly coupled, magnetized one-component plasma. For different angles of the wave vector with respect to the external magnetic field we discuss the dispersion and polarization based on the quasi-localized charge approximation (QLCA) [1]. Further, the results of the QLCA are compared with molecular dynamics simulations, extending previous results for two-dimensional systems, e.g. [2,3]. The dependence of the wave spectra on the coupling parameter and the magnetic field strength is examined.\\[4pt] [1] G. Kalman and K. I. Golden, Phys. Rev.
