Preliminaries; Contents; 1 The generalized Thomas Fermi model; 2 Electron wave functions in a given potential; 3 Quantum statistical self consistent field models; 4 The Hartree Fock Slater model for the average atom; 5 Interaction of radiation with matter; 6 The equation of state; Bibliography; Index
Summary
"The widely used theoretical models for calculating properties of hot dense matter are studied in this book. Calculations using the presented formulas and algorithms are illustrated by plots, tables, and also are compared with experimental results. The purpose is to help to understand atomic physics in hot plasma and to develop efficient and robust computer codes for calculating opacity and equations of state for arbitrary material in a wide range of temperatures and densities."--Jacket
