Abstract:
In this paper, we apply the double Fourier transform method to the two-dimensional Vlasov equations for a charged particle subjected to white noise, exponentially correlated Gaussian forces, trap forces and thermal and active noises in a magnetic field. By deriving the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation, analytical solutions for the joint probability density are obtained in different time domains. The mean squared displacement and velocity of a charged particle driven by white noise exhibits a super-diffusive behavior, scaling as ~t2 in the short-time regime, while it grows linearly with time (~t) in the long-time regime, in agreement with numerical simulations of the mean squared displacement. When thermal noise is included together with harmonic trap and viscous forces, the characteristic time scale increases as ~t2h+1 in the corresponding time domains, whereas the mean squared velocity scales as ~t2h+3. The moments of the joint probability density under thermal noise scale as ~t2h+5. Furthermore, when the persistent Hurst exponent h→1/2, the entropy of the joint probability density associated with thermal noise coincides with that obtained for active noise in both the short-time (t≪τ) and long-time (t≫τ) limits.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
