Electrodynamics of Plasma with Random Scattering Boundary
Abstract
The general electromagnetic solution of the set of Maxwell-Boltzman equations is obtained for the case of semi-infinite multicomponent plasma at the assumption that (i) the random scattering of charged particles at the boundary takes place and (ii) the full particle flow is convserved in the process of scattering. The dielectric response function and the correlation functions for microcurrents have been found for such a plasma system and the relation between these functions has been written in the form of a generalization of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. As the applications of these results to the investigation of physical phenomena the reflection of a plane wave from the plasma-dielectric interface and the spectrum of excitations in a plasma with random scattering boundary were considered.
