摘要
The effect of spin of particles is studied using a semi-classical kinetic theory for a magnetized plasma. No other quantum effects are included. We focus in the simple damping effects for the electrostatic wave modes. Besides Landau damping, we show that spin produces two new different effects of damping or instability which are proportional to (h) over bar. These corrections depend on the electromagnetic part of the wave that is coupled with the spin vector. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
