Ultra-magnetized plasmas, where the magnetic field strength exceeds the Schwinger field of about $B_{Q}\approx4\times10^{13}$~gauss, become of great scientific interest, thanks to the current advances in laser-plasma experiments and…
Quasiparticle states near the surface of a quasi-one-dimensional organic superconductor $({TMTSF})_{2}{PF}_6$ are studied based on an extended Hubbard model on a quasi-one dimensional lattice at quarter-filling. Three types of pairing…
The constraint of incompressibility is often used to simplify the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) description of linearized plasma dynamics because it does not affect the ideal MHD marginal stability point. In this paper two methods for…
We study the classical two-dimensional one-component plasma of $N$ positively charged point particles, interacting via the Coulomb potential and confined by an external potential. For the specific inverse temperature $\beta=1$ (in our…
