Region of validity of the Thomas–Fermi model with corrections

Abstract: A new method to calculate thermodynamically consistent shell corrections in a wide range of parameters is used to predict the region of validity of the Thomas-Fermi approach. The method is applicable both at low and high density. Thermodynamic functions of electrons calculated by the Thomas–Fermi model are compared with quantum, exchange, and shell corrections. The corrections become quite big at moderate and low densities and low temperatures in the region of strongly coupled plasma.

“…That is why in Figure we have presented α e along the isotherm T = 13 kK according to the present model and the data of the Thomas–Fermi model, which is the predecessor of all modern AAM (see, for instance, Ref. ). One can see that the latter demonstrates full ionization over all ranges of density.…”

“…The plasma is fully ionized if α e > 1 and partially ionized in the opposite case. In Figure we show the behaviour of the ionization degree for three models at T = 10 kK, namely the Thomas–Fermi (TF) model, the chemical model developed in, and the present model. Because the latter has the limitation by the density from the above, we have presented only the values below the corresponding ρ lim , which is marked in Figure by an arrow.…”

“…where Ξ(x) = αΨ 1 (x) + (1 − α)Ψ 2 (x) is the complete wavefunction with α = ω 2 p1 /ω 2 p2 being the fractional plasmon frequency of streams. We have used the Thomas-Fermi assumption in which the chemical potential variations are neglected (µ 1 = µ 2 = µ 0 ) and the temperature is fixed in agreement with the single-electron Fermi-Dirac distribution [68,69]. Further more we have used the normalization scheme in which E = (ǫ − µ 0 )/E p with E p = hω p being the plasmon energy and ω p = 4πe 2 n 0 /m the plasmon frequency.…”
