Lowering of Ionization Potentials in Plasmas
Abstract
The average electrostatic potential near a nucleus immersed in a plasma is evaluated using a finitetemperature Thomas-Fermi model. The part of this potential directly attributable to the presence of the plasma is isolated and is used to evaluate the reduction in ionization potential for a wide range of parameters. A simple analytic solution, exhibiting Debye-Hiickel and ion-sphere limits, is also obtained and is used as an interpolatory device.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
