Abstract In this paper, decay rates of the compressible Hall-MHD equations for quantum plasmas in three-dimensional whole space are studied. By using a general energy method, the time decay rates for higher-order spatial derivatives of density, velocity and magnetic field are established when the initial perturbation belongs to H˙ −s with 0 ≤ s < 32 .

where (x, t) ∈ R3 × R+ denotes the space-time position. The unknown functions ρ, u and B represent the density, velocity, and magnetic field, respectively. The pressure P (ρ) is a smooth function in a neighborhood of 1. ≥ 0 denotes the Planck constant and ν is the magnetic diffusivity. The constants μ > 0 and λ are the viscosity coefficients with the usual phys , ical condition 3λ + 2μ ≥ 0. ≥ 0 is called Hall coefficient. The Hall term ∇ × (∇×B)×B ρ which is the key to understand the problem of magnetic reconnection in space plasmas, star formulation, neutron stars, and geo-dynamo, due to the Ohm’s law (see [1, 8, 18, 29, 36, 41] √ ρ and the references therein). The expression √ρ can be interpreted as a quantum potential, i.e. Bohm potential, which satisfies 2ρ∇

The quantum correction terms, which are closely related to Bohm potential, can be tracked back to Wigner [42] for the thermodynamic equilibrium. For more physical interpretations of the model, one may refer to Hass [13, 14]. Furthermore, we assume ¯ ¯ u0 − u, ¯ B0 − B)(x) = 0, lim (ρ0 − ρ,

There is much literature concerned with the decay of the solutions for the fluid dynamics. For the convergence rates for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with or without external forces, see, for example, the works in [3–6, 12, 16–22, 25–30]. For higher-order spatial derivatives of solutions, Guo and Wang [12] employed a general energy method to build the time convergence rates by assuming the init
