TL;DR

This paper explores the complex spectrum of oblique longitudinal waves in partially spin-polarized electron-positron-ion plasmas, revealing eight distinct wave branches including new spin-electron-positron acoustic waves and second positron-acoustic waves.

Contribution

It introduces the first detailed analysis of the eight-branch spectrum, including the discovery of new wave modes like SEPAWs in such plasmas.

Findings

Eight wave branches identified in oblique propagation.

Existence of second positron-acoustic wave at oblique angles.

Discovery of spin-electron-positron acoustic waves (SEPAWs).

Abstract

We consider the separate spin evolution of electrons and positrons in electron-positron and electron-positron-ion plasmas. We consider oblique propagating longitudinal waves in this systems. We report presence of the spin-electron acoustic waves and their dispersion dependencies. In electron-positron plasmas, similarly to the electron-ion plasmas, we find one spin-electron acoustic wave (SEAW) at propagation parallel or perpendicular to the external field and two spin-electron acoustic waves at the oblique propagation. At the parallel or perpendicular propagation of the longitudinal waves in electron-positron-ion plasmas we find four branches: the Langmuir wave, the positron-acoustic wave and pair of waves having spin nature, they are the SEAW and, as we called it, spin-electron-positron acoustic wave (SEPAW). At the oblique propagation we find eight longitudinal waves: the Langmuir wave, Trivelpiece-Gould wave, pair of positron-acoustic waves, pair of SEAWs, and pair of SEPAWs. Thus, for the first time, we report existence of the second positron-acoustic wave existing at the oblique propagation and existence of SEPAWs.
