Abstract
In this work, we used the semi-Lagrangian method and the Vlasov code to study the instabilities in a quantum plasma with 1-D temperature anisotropy. Taking the Fermi-Dirac type of distribution function (DF) and using the semi-Lagrangian Vlasov code, we studied the gradual evolution of density and kinetic energy in a degenerate plasma with quantum effects. In this collisionless plasma, adiabatic compression will be along the direction of wave propagation and will lead to temperature anisotropy of the electron distribution that varies along the direction of wave propagation. The findings will find application for dense plasma at finite temperature as in laser-produced plasmas, fusion plasma, as well as solar plasmas.
