Abstract

On employing linearized Vlasov–Maxwell equations the solution of relativistic electromagnetic extraordinary mode is investigated for the wave propagating perpendicular to a uniform ambient magnetic field (in the presence of arbitrary magnetic field limit i.e., ω > Ω > k.v) in partially degenerate (i.e., for T F ≥ T and T ≠ 0) electron plasma under long wavelength limit (ωk.v). Due to the inclusion of weak quantum degeneracy the relativistic Fermi–Dirac distribution function is expanded under the relativistic limit ( m 0 2 c 2 2 p 2 < 1 ) to perform momentum integrations which generate the Polylog functions. The propagation characteristics and shifting of cutoff points of the extraordinary mode are examined in different relativistic density and magnetic field ranges. The novel graphical results of extraordinary mode in relativistic quantum partially degenerate (for μ T = 0 ), nondegenerate (for μ T 1 ) and fully/completely degenerate (for μ T 1) environments are obtained and the previously reported results are retraced as well.
