Long-wavelength plasma frequencies have been obtained in the modified random phase approximation (RPA) and plasmon-pole approximation (PPA) methods for both quantum and classical plasmas in fractional-dimensional space. The dynamical local-field factor is included in the dielectric function. Comparison of the plasma frequencies in these methods shows that both RPA and PPA methods are quite accurate in finding plasma frequencies. Although the contribution of the dynamical local-field factor to the quantum plasma frequency is quite significant, it vanishes for the classical plasma. While the quantum plasma is undamped in the collective excitation regime, the classical plasma is damped in this regime.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
