In a magnetized plasma, both the transverse and longitudinal Alfvén waves carry an average energy density that, for each mode of oscillation, resembles classical harmonic oscillator with unit mass angular frequency that depends on background magnetic field plasma density. We employ this fact to introduce pair canonical variables underlying system, then use quantization procedure express wave velocity (or corresponding displacement vector) in terms creation annihilation operators. thus concept Alphonons as quanta packets study their characteristic features. The (Alphonons) spin one zero wave. obtained behavior thermodynamic quantities Alphonon system (e.g., free energy, entropy, specific heat). showed spectral obeys Planck's black body radiation law.
