Statistical theory of electron densities at nonzero temperatures

Year: 1992

Type: article

Abstract: This paper derives the finite temperature optimized Thomas–Fermi theory applicable to the electronic structure of atoms, molecules, and ions under conditions where both the bulk electron density and the electron temperature are substantial. The derivation provides a simple rule for transcribing the finite temperature case from the previous ground-state statistical electron-density functional theories. Keywords: plasma simulation, plasma chemistry, statistical theory of electron densities, Thomas–Fermi theory, optimized Thomas–Fermi theory.
