Abstract: | In this paper the plasma composition of Cs- and Xe-plasmas was determined for temperatures between 3000 K (Cs) or 8000 K (Xe) and 25000 K and for free charge carrier densities between 1023 m?3 and 5. 1028 m?3. Besides the Coulomb forces we took into account also short range forces between the charged particles and between the atoms. Effects of degeneration were neglected. The thermodynamic stability is discussed, and the influence of the different interaction contributions between the particles on the border of the instability region is considered. Especially the Mott transition is dealt with. |
