The study investigates the magnetorotational instability in complex quantum plasma, considering the effect of spin magnetization. It is found that the dust mass significantly affects the dispersion and growth rate of the magnetorotational mode, while the spin magnetization force plays an important role in high-density plasmas found in white dwarfs and neutron stars. Due to the complexity of the dispersion relation, MHD assumptions are used to define the instability criteria.
Magnetorotational instability (MRI) in complex quantum plasma, which comprises electron, ion, and dust grains, is investigated. Electrons are considered to be degenerate while ions and dust grains are taken as nondegenerate. The general dispersion relation for MRI with the effect of spin magnetization is derived using local approximations. The instability criteria for spin quantum plasma are derived using low-frequency approximations. Due to the complex nature of the dispersion relation, MHD assumptions are used to define the instability criteria. The dust mass plays a significant role in both the dispersion and growth rate of the magnetorotational mode. The complex mass of dust modifies the instability criteria. Spin magnetization force arises due to electron Pauli spin matrices and has an important role in low-temperature and highly dense plasmas that are found mainly in white dwarfs, neutron stars, and in core-collapse supernovae. It is found that spin magnetization influences the criteria for instability and hence the properties of MHD waves in the degenerate plasma.
