Abstract

The investigation of the nonlinear Langmuir associations in an ultrarelativistic, fully degenerate quantum plasma, composed of stationary ions and warm electrons is considered. The quantum hydrodynamic model with the equation of state of electrons is used to derive a nonlinear differential equation that describes the chemical potential of electrons. Then, the Runge Kutta method is used to solve this equation numerically. Hence, the profiles of the chemical potential and electron number density are graphically presented. Numerical results show that the Bohm quantum force produces small scale quantum Langmuir oscillations along with the classical oscillations. These findings are helpful in understanding the features of nonlinear Langmuir waves in various astrophysical plasmas such as planetary interiors and compact objects.
