Statistical mechanics of the distribution of charge on particles in complex plasmas
Physica Scripta, 2010Summary: This paper presents an analytical study of the distribution of charge on the particles in a complex plasma; the study is based on statistical mechanics and ensures that the charge on the particles is an integral multiple of the electronic charge. The formulation incorporates both the number and energy balance of electrons/ions.

Statistical Mechanics of Collective Phenomena in Plasmas
1991Abstract : Progress was made on the statistical mechanics of the Zakharov model which describes the interaction of an electromagnetic wave with a plasma. The model leads to a nonlinear set of partial differential equations which resemble in some ways equations arising in nonlinear field theories which have been studied by statistical mechanical methods.

Recent Developments in the Statistical Mechanics of Plasmas
1966A plasma is an ionized gas at any density and temperature: for example, stellar interiors. Such a gas differs from every other gas in that each particle feels the effects of all other particles because of the infinite range of the Coulomb force acting between every pair of charged particles.

Statistical mechanics of classical dilute relativistic plasmas in equilibrium
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 1985Within a fully relativistic framework, the thermodynamics of a classical dilute arbitrarily hot plasma in equilibrium is studied. The internal energy of the plasma is calculated to all orders in KT/mc2. The case of a one-component plasma immersed in a static background is also studied. Up to order kT/mc2 the results given previously by the authors (see

The statistical mechanics of quadratic response functions of classical plasmas
Il Nuovo Cimento B Series 11, 1971Equilibrium nonlinear fluctuation-dissipation theorems are derived from second-order statistical mechanical perturbation theory for a nonrelativistic classical electron plasma in a constant external magnetic field. The time-dependent external perturbation is specified to contain both longitudinal (with respect to the wave vector) and transverse field ...

Computer simulation of statistical plasma mechanics (an example of undergraduate research)
American Journal of Physics, 1978A plasma containing only a small number N?150 of electrons and ions in a cubical volume V=L3 is studied theoretically. The electrostatic potential energy UαN is computed for a large number 𝒩?20000 of random particle configurations, labeled α. The values UαN are used for determining the density of states GN(UN) and the thermal average ?N of the ...

Statistical Mechanics of Highly Charged Ions in NLTE Plasmas
2002A new description of NLTE statistics of a highly-charged ion plasma has been presented. Two-electron correlations are evaluated by taking into account the “diffusion” of the time-dependent solution of the master equation around the center of mass of the distribution.

Statistical mechanics of a relativistic magnetized plasma and its radiation field
Physics Letters A, 1986Abstract A relativistic BBGKY hierarchy for the system of a magnetized plasma plus radiation is developed in a manifestly covariant way. It is based on the Abraham-Lorentz-Dirac equation. Simple kinetic equations are obtained and briefly analysed.

Electronic structure and statistical mechanics of ionic configurations in hot plasmas
Le Journal de Physique IV, 2000We give an overview of methods used in the study of electronic structure and statistical mechanics of ionic configurations in hot plasmas. Various methods that can be applied to the statistics of the configurations, starting from the electronic structure given by the Average Atom Model (AAM) of the plasma, are first recalled.
