Abstract

The propagation of extraordinary and upper-hybrid waves in spin quantum magnetoplasmas with vacuum polarization effect is investigated. Based on the quantum magnetohydrodynamics model including Bohm potential, arbitrary relativistic degeneracy pressure and spin force, and Maxwell's equations modified by the spin current and vacuum polarization current, the dispersion relations of extraordinary and upper-hybrid waves are derived. The analytical and numerical results show that quantum effects (Bohm potential, degeneracy pressure and spin magnetization energy) and the vacuum polarization effect modify the propagation of the extraordinary wave. Under the action of a strong magnetic field, the plasma frequency is obviously increased by the vacuum polarization effect.
