Spin effects on the relativistic strong EM wave modes in magnetized plasma*

Abstract

Abstract Based on the relativistic hydrodynamic model of EM wave–spin plasmas interaction, the spin effects on the relativistic strong EM modes in magnetized plasma are investigated. The dispersion relations of the EM wave propagating parallel and perpendicular to the external magnetic field are obtained. Results show that the strong EM wave modes are affected by the time component of four-spin as well as the increase of electron effective mass. Especially in the case of EM wave propagating parallel to the external magnetic field, the time component of four-spin amplifies the influence of spin effects on the low-frequency modes obviously.
