In this paper a half space problem for the one-dimensional Landau equation with specular reflective boundary condition is investigated. We show that the solution to the Landau equation converges to a global Maxwellian. Moreover, a time-decay rate is also obtained.

Keywords: Landau equation, time decay rate., global solution.
