SummaryThe composition andiihe equation of state for a binary mixture of dense partially ionized hydrogen and helium are investigated on the basis of quantum statistical theory. Theoretical evidence for the existence of a hydrogen-like and helium-like plasma phase transition is found. Critical data for the phase transitions are given for the whole range of the mixing parameter.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
