Bücher von Donald Melrose

The field of quantum plasmas has a long and diverse tradition. This book synthesizes two fields: classical kinetic theory of collisionless plasmas and quantum electrodynamics. The book therefore provides a comprehensive introduction to a more general formalism for plasma kinetic and dispersion theory.

Quantum Plasmadynamics is a synthesis of the kinetic theory of plasmas and quantum electrodynamics (QED). The response of an electron gas is derived by generalizing the derivation of the response of the magnetized vacuum.
