Kinetic ionization and recombination coefficients in the dense semiclassical plasmas on the basis of the effective interaction potential

Abstract

Abstract In this paper, the ionization and recombination coefficients of dense semiclassical hydrogen plasma on the basis of the effective interaction potential have been investigated. For this goal the Bohr – Lindhard method and method phase function have been applied to obtain the electron capture and ionization cross sections. The electron capture cross section has been calculated in the framework of the perturbation theory. The effective interaction potential, which takes into account the screening effects at large distances and quantum diffraction effects at short distances, was used. The results of the investigation show the behaviour of the calculated kinetic coefficients with a change in the plasma parameters: the ionization coefficient decreases with increasing density and (or) coupling parameter while the recombination coefficient increases.
