Normal modes in magnetized two-fluid spin quantum plasmas

We extend the classical two-fluid magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) formalism to include quantum effects such as electron Fermi pressure, Bohm pressure, and spin couplings. At scales smaller than the electron skin-depth, the Hall effect and electron inertia must be taken into account, and can overlap with t...
