Abstract

This paper considers hydrogen, non-ideal plasma. The structural properties of such plasma were investigated. To study properties of plasma, effective potentials describing the interaction between particles were used. These potentials take into account various effects: screening and quantum-mechanical (diffraction and symmetry). The Pauli exclusion principle prohibits the simultaneous presence of two identical particles with a half-integer spin (in this case, electrons) in the same state. Pair correlation functions were calculated in hyper-netted chain approximation for the integral equation of the Ornstein-Zernike on the basis of the interaction potentials. The symmetry effect is more pronounced at short distances and for higher values of density. The antiparallel direction of the electron spins increases the probability of finding electrons at distance R from each other, the parallel direction decreases this probability due to the prohibition of the presence of two electrons with the same spins in the same state.

Highlights

  • Non-ideal hydrogen plasma was considered. Non-ideal plasma is plasma in which interparticle interactions have a major effect, that is, the average energy of interaction becomes comparable to the kinetic energy

  • In this work, non-ideal hydrogen plasma was considered

  • Black and red lines show the results on the basis of Debye and Deutsch potentials, green and blue lines – the results based on the potential (1) without and with the symmetry effect
