Two-center problem for a dense plasma

  • 1. Okayama Univ. (Japan). School of Engineering

Description

The Thomas-Fermi-Dirac-Weizsaecker statistical model of atoms is applied to a compressed diatomic molecule in a dense plasma. As a two-dimensional problem, we analyze numerically a spatial profile of the screening function and the electron density inside a closed boundary surface. We also calculate the Helmholtz's excess free energy as a function of the internuclear distance, to examine a possibility of the binding state. (author)
