Abstract
In this letter, the propagation characteristics of lower hybrid waves are investigated in electron-ion degenerate plasma with exchange effect considering non-relativistic, relativistic and ultra-relativistic regimes. The combined effect of Bohm force and exchange correlation potential are found to alter the dispersion properties of lower hybrid waves. The analytical and numerical results clearly show the influence of relativistic velocities of electrons, kinetic pressure of ions, Bohm force and exchange correlation potential on the frequency of the lower hybrid wave. The present work find its relevance for the dense astrophysical environments like white dwarfs and for laboratory fusion plasma experiments.
