Abstract
Effects of the Landau diamagnetism and the Pauli paramagnetism on the longitudinal electric wave characteristics in a quantum plasma are studied. It is shown that a dispersion relation of the longitudinal wave propagating along a magnetic field strongly depends on the magnetic field, in radical contrast to the classical case. New modes of quantum plasma waves due to the magnetic field are found.
