The Motion of Electrons under the Action of Inertial Forces in the Rarefied Medium

Present work is devoted to the electron-theoretical study in a novel problematic context with the help of numerical simulation. The motion of an electron in a rarefied dielectric medium, in a rotating reference frame, is described (the actions of classical inertial forces are taken into account). A special criterion for the occurrence of the electron drift motion in the rotating rarefied medium is derived. It was found that the radial current lifetime is complexly dependent on the ratio of the particle collision frequencies and angular velocity of rotation. An expression for the generalized eikonal was obtained. This expression takes into account the change in the dielectric medium conductivity over time.
