Abstract
Using Dirac equation together with the Wigner distribution function,the trembling motion,known as Zitterbewegung effect,of moving electrons in quasi-one-dimensional relativistic quantum plasma is theoretically investigated.The relativistic Wigner matrix is used to calculate the mean values of the position and velocity operators for a Dirac gas of electrons.It is found that the oscillatory behavior of measurable quantities could be associated with the Zitterbewegung effect which manifests itself as a damping interference pattern stemming from mixing the positive and negative dispersion modes of Dirac particles.
