Abstract
The theory of solutions of McMillan and Mayer is applied to the jellium model of a binary ionic mixture: two species of charged particles, with charges e and Ze, immersed in a neutralizing background. The density ρ2 of the particles of charge Ze is considered as small, and is used as an expansion parameter. The free energy, the pair distribution functions, the internal energy, and the pressure of the mixture are expressed as power series in ρ2; the coefficients are integrals of correlation functions defined in the system at ρ2=0 (the reference system). Explicit expressions are obtained in the two-dimensional case, at a special temperature, since in that case the reference system (the two-dimensional, one-component plasma) is a solvable model.
