Quantum-Mechanical Calculation of Ionization-Potential Lowering in Dense Plasmas
The charged environment within a dense plasma leads to the phenomenon of ionization-potential depression (IPD) for ions embedded in the plasma. Accurate predictions of the IPD effect are of crucial importance for modeling atomic processes occurring within dense plasmas. Several theoretical models ha...
