Local Fields in Strongly Coupled Plasmas

摘要

Computer simulation techniques and important static properties of plasma microfields are discussed. The relevant timescales are introduced for dynamical atomic problems, and some time-dependent properties of microfields are discussed. In the last two sections of the paper these results are applied to two problems relevant to the spectroscopy of dense plasmas: (1) broadening of spectral lines, and (2) screening in inelastic electron-ion collisions.
