Electron runaway in a dense semiclassical plasma

The phenomenon of electron runaway in a dense semiclassical plasma was investigated on the basis of the effective potentials of particle interactions. These effective potentials take into account the quantum-mechanical effect of diffraction and static or dynamic screening. The results of numerical calculations of the effective collision frequency, mean free path and friction force for various values of the density parameter and coupling parameter are presented. It is shown that the dynamic screening led to an increase in the friction force.
