The aim of the present study is to determine the impact the finite size of dust particles has on the static and dynamic characteristics of the dust component of a plasma. Taking into account both the finite dimensions of dust grains and the plasma screening, a model expression is chosen for the interdust interaction potential. The static structure...

Grounded on the premise that dust particles are charged hard balls, the analysis in Davletov et al. ( Contrib. Plasma Phys. , vol. 56, 2016, 308) provides an original pseudopotential model of intergrain interaction in complex (dusty) plasmas. This accurate model is engaged herein to consistently treat the finite-size effects from the process of dus...

The fulfilment of sum rules for the loss function which is determined using different models of the dielectric function (DF): the random phase approximation (RPA), Mermin, and extended models of RPA and Mermin is investigated1. In the extended models the dynamic collision frequency is used, which is calculated according to computer simulations and...

The dense plasma dynamic collision frequency is modeled by the first two terms of its asymptotic expansion at high frequencies and its values at a few interpolation points on the real axis. This makes the dynamic collision frequency a non-rational function whose extension onto the upper half-plane of the complex frequency is holomorphic with a non-...

The sum rules are the power frequency moments of the loss function and the latter...

The static dielectric function and dust acoustic waves are considered of non-equilibrium dusty plasmas. The dynamic characteristics are considered using an effective potential applicable at elevated pressure, but this is not a limitation. A three-species model capable of describing the collective processes is suggested, and a first order phase tran...

The dynamics of the ion structure in warm dense matter is determined by molecular dynamics simulations using an effective ion-ion potential. This potential is obtained from ab initio simulations and has a strong short-range repulsion added to a screened Coulomb potential. Models based on static or dynamic local field corrections are found to be ins...

By definition, a Nevanlinna class function \(\varphi \in \Re\) is holomorphic and has a nonnegative imaginary part in the half-plane Im z > 0. In this chapter we also consider Nevanlinna functions which belong to the subclass \(\Re_0 \subset \Re\) such that if \(\varphi(z) \in \Re_0, \lim\nolimits_{z\to \infty} (\varphi(z)/z) = 0\), Im z > 0. Then,...

It has been recently shown that the Bethe-Larkin formula for the energy losses of fast heavy-ion projectiles in dense hydrogen plasmas is corrected by the electron-ion correlations [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{101}, 075002 (2008)]. We report numerical estimates of this correction based on the values of $g_{ei}(0)$ obtained by numerical simulations in...

The Bethe-Larkin formula for the fast-projectile stopping power is extended to multicomponent plasmas. The results are to contribute to the correct interpretation of the experimental data, which could permit us to test existing and future models of thermodynamic, static, and dynamic characteristics of strongly coupled Coulomb systems.

The in-plane polarizational stopping power of heavy-ion diclusters in a two-dimensional strongly coupled electron liquid is studied.

Special attention is paid to the description...

The classical method of moments is applied to the analysis of the external and internal dynamic conductivities of dense plasmas. The Nevanlinna formula with only one nonzero f-sum rule taken into account reproduces the Drude-Lorentz model expression for the internal conductivity. The inclusion of the second non-zero sum rule produces a new model wh...

Asymptotic forms of the Hilbert-Scmidt and Hilbert norms of positive definite Toeplitz matrices $Q_{N}=(b(j-k))_{j,k=0}^{N-1}$ as $N\to \infty $ are determined. Here $b(j)$ are consequent trigonometric moments of a generating non-negative mesure $d\sigma (\theta)$ on $[ -\pi ,\pi ] $. It is proven that $\sigma (\theta)$ is continuous if and only if...

A complex response function describing a reaction of a multi-particle system to a weak alternating external field is the boundary value of a Nevanlinna class function (i.e. a holomorphic function with non-negative imaginary part in the upper half-plane). Attempts of direct calculations of response functions based on standard approximations of the k...

Earlier theoretical and computer studies on the dynamics of strongly coupled charged particle bilayers have revealed the existence of an energy gap (ω(k = 0) ≠ 0, optical behaviour) for the out-of-phase plasmon. This is in contrast to the correlationless RPA prediction of acoustic (ω ~ k) behaviour. We have studied the question whether a classical...
