A generalized set of nonlinear electromagnetic quantum hydrodynamic (QHD) equations is derived for a magnetized quantum plasma, including collisional, electron spin- 1/2, and relativistically degenerate electron pressure effects that are relevant for dense astrophysical systems, such as white dwarfs. For illustrative purposes, linear dispersion relations are derived for one-dimensional magnetoacoustic waves for a collisionless nonrelativistic degenerate gas in the presence of the electron spin- 1/2 contribution and for magnetoacoustic waves in a plasma containing relativistically degenerate electrons. It is found that both the spin and relativistic degeneracy at high densities tend to slow down the magnetoacoustic wave due to the Pauli paramagnetic effect and relativistic electron mass increase. The present study outlines the theoretical framework for the investigation of linear and nonlinear behaviors of electromagnetic waves in dense astrophysical systems. The results are applied to calculate the magnetoacoustic speeds for both the nonrelativistic and relativistic electron degeneracy cases typical for white dwarf stars.

The bound-state solution of the radial Klein-Gordon equation has been obtained under the interaction of an exponential-type and Yukawa potential functions. The Greene-Aldrich approximation has been used to overcome the centrifugal barrier and enable the analytical solutions of the energy and wave functions in closed form. The momentum space wave function in D dimensions has been constructed using the Fourier transform.

We introduce an exact-two-component complete active space self-consistent-field (X2C-CASSCF) method formulated under the restricted-magnetic-balance condition. This framework allows for the nonperturbative treatment of static magnetic fields using gauge-including atomic orbitals (GIAOs). The GIAO-X2C-CASSCF methodology effectively captures all microstates within the same 2 + 1-degenerate manifold and their splitting in a static magnetic field, which are not accessible through single-reference-based methods.

The theory of ion-acoustic solitons in nonrelativistic fully degenerate plasmas and nonrelativistic and ultra-relativistic degenerate plasmas at low temperatures is known. We consider a multi-component relativistic degenerate electron-positron-ion plasma at finite temperatures. Specifically, we focus on the intermediate region where the particle's thermal energy and the rest mass energy do not differ significantly, i.

Ligand field theory, which explains the splitting of degenerate d atomic orbitals due to static electric fields from point-charge ligands, is rederived using Dirac orbitals instead of Schrödinger orbitals, specifically using the d and d spinors. This formalism is, to some extent, equivalent to incorporating the spin-orbit interaction either in the d atomic orbitals or in the ligand field orbitals (e.g.

We present a formulation and implementation of second-order quasidegenerate N-electron valence perturbation theory (QDNEVPT2) that provides a balanced and accurate description of spin-orbit coupling and dynamic correlation effects in multiconfigurational electronic states. In our approach, the energies and wave functions of electronic states are computed by treating electron repulsion and spin-orbit coupling operators as equal perturbations to the nonrelativistic complete active-space wave functions, and their contributions are incorporated fully up to the second order. The spin-orbit effects are described using the Breit-Pauli (BP) or exact two-component Douglas-Kroll-Hess (DKH) Hamiltonians within spin-orbit mean-field approximation.
