Abstract

AbstractAccurate treatment of the plasma density effects requires a detailed knowledge of spatial distribution of individual ions around a test ion. The 2‐body and 3‐body distribution functions involving the nearest neighbor (NN) and the next‐nearest neighbor (NNN) ions have recently been derived [1], valid for both ideal and nonideal plasmas. Here we apply these results to determine the effect of a few individual surrounding ions on the dense plasma electron states and, in particular, on the electron state collectivization by tunneling. Validity of the transient diatomic quasimolecule model, found in literature, is discussed. (© 2003 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
