One-Component Plasma Model and Large Z Laboratory Plasmas

Stemming from an expression for the mean two-particle potential energy of a two-component laboratory plasma comprised of ions of charge Ze and electrons, it is argued that for sufficiently large Z, thermodynamic properties of such plasmas are the same as those relevant to Wigner's one-component...

Zusammenfassung:Stemming from an expression for the mean two-particle potential energy of a two-component laboratory plasma comprised of ions of charge Ze and electrons, it is argued that for sufficiently large Z, thermodynamic properties of such plasmas are the same as those relevant to Wigner's one-component plasma model, Thus, an equation of state is obtained for a strongly coupled laboratory plasma with Z greater than or approximately 5.
