Collective phenomena in a quasi-classical electron fluid within the interpolational self-consistent method of moments

Abstract

Collective processes in a quasi-classical electron gas are investigated within the framework of the interpolational self-consistent method of moments, which makes it possible to express the dispersion and decrement of plasma waves, and the dynamic structural factor of the system exclusively in terms of its static structural factor so that five sum rules are satisfied automatically. Different models are used of the static structure factor; the stability and robustness of the results of the moment approach taking into account the accuracy of these models is confirmed and tested by comparison to the alternative molecular dynamics simulation data.
