Obliquely propagating magnetosonic waves in multicomponent quantum magnetoplasma

Linear properties of obliquely propagating magnetosonic waves (both fast and slow) in multicomponent (electron-positron-ion (e-p-i) and dust-electron-ion (d-e-i)) quantum magnetoplasma are studied. It is found that the quantum Bohm potential term significantly changes the propagation of fast and slow magnetosonic waves in both e-p-i and d-e-i quantum plasmas. The variation of the dispersion characteristics with the increase/decrease of positron concentration in e-p-i and dust concentration in d-e-i quantum magnetoplasma is explored. Finally, the effect of angle θ (that the ambient magnetic field makes with the x-axis) on the dispersion properties of magnetosonic waves in multicomponent quantum magnetoplasma is investigated. The relevance of the present investigation to the dense astrophysical environments and microelectronic devices is also pointed out.
