Low-frequency electric microfield in dense and hot multicomponent plasmas

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. A; (United States)
The Baranger-Mozer formalism for the computation of low-frequency thermal electric microfield distributions is extended to dense and hot binary ionic mixture relevant to inertial confinement fusion (ICF). The corresponding low-frequency microfield distribution of the thermal electric field, H(..beta..), reproduce the Tighe-Hooper results within 0.5%. However, the numerical procedures are more straightforward and shorter. We pay special attention to proportion effects in various Ar/sup 17 +/-H/sup +/ and Ne/sup 9 +/-H/sup +/ mixtures. Particular emphasis is also given to analytic asymptotic distributions valid for ..beta..> or =5. Extensive numerical results are given in tables and figures.
