Low-Frequency Behavior of the Spectral Energy Distribution Function of Equilibrium Radiation in a Degenerate Electron Gas

Аннотация

The low-frequency asymptotic behavior of the spectral energy distribution density of equilibrium radiation in a collisionless degenerate electron gas is studied. It is shown that the spatial dispersion in the electron gas permittivity leads to a logarithmic singularity in the spectral density distribution at low frequencies, similar to that we previously obtained for a Maxwellian plasma. In this case, the contribution of low frequencies to the total radiation energy remains finite. The results of the analytical consideration coincide with the numerical calculation.
