Electrons in a Nonideal Partially Degenerated Plasma with Multiple Ionization

We consider peculiarities in the behavior of free electrons in an extremely-dense hot plasma with multiple ionization and partial degeneration. In different ways, we exhibit the strong Coulomb coupling of electrons and ions in the behavior of low- and high-kinetic-energy electrons. As a result, a necessity arises to consider, along with classical fast Debye electrons, their complementary cellular group of electrons constantly interacting with central ions of cells. We discuss the distribution of free electrons between the two groups, along with the role of two-group effects, of a not point character of ions in electron-transfer processes, and the consequences of the X-ray emitting X-pinch hot spot for the plasma. The existence of the physical limits for X-pinch plasma compression is among those consequences.
