Nonideal Plasmas

The collective effects on the transition bremsstrahlung spectrum due to the polarization interaction between the electron and Debye shielding cloud of an ion are investigated in nonideal plasmas. The impact parameter analysis with the effective pseudopotential model taking into account the nonideal collective and plasma screening effects is applied to obtain the bremsstrahlung radiation cross-section as a function of the nonideality plasma parameter, Debye length, photon energy, and projectile energy. It is shown that the collective effects enhance the bremsstrahlung radiation cross-section and decrease with increasing impact parameter. It is also shown that the collective effect is the most significant near the maximum position of the bremsstrahlung cross-section. In addition, it is shown that the collective effect decreases with an increase of the radiation photon energy

The Impact

The dynamic screening effects on elastic electron-ion collisions are investigated in nonideal plasmas. The second-order eikonal method with the impact parameter analysis is employed to obtain the eikonal phase as a function of the impact parameter, collision energy, thermal energy, and Debye length. The result shows that the eikonal phase decreases with increasing the thermal energy. It is also found that the dynamic screening effects on the eikonal phase are more significant for large impact parameters. The total eikonal cross section is also found to be decreased with increasing the thermal energy. It is important to note that the eikonal cross section and the eikonal phase including the dynamic screening effects are found to be greater than those including the static screening effects.

Transport Cross Section

Equation of phonon radiative transport (EPRT) is rewritten to include anisotropic scattering by a particulate media by including an acoustic phase function and an inscattering term which makes EPRT exactly same as equation of radiative transport (ERT). This formulation of EPRT is called generalized EPRT (GEPRT). It is shown that GEPRT reduces to EPRT for isotropic scattering and is totally consistent with phonon transport theory, showing that transport cross section is different from the scattering cross section. GEPRT leads to same formulation for transport cross section as given by phonon transport theory. However GEPRT shows that transport cross section formulations as described by phonon transport theory are only valid for acoustically thick medium. Transport cross section is different for the acoustically thin medium leading to the conclusion that mean free path (m.f.p) is size dependant. Finally calculations are performed for two types of scatterers for acoustic waves without mode conversion: (1) acoustically hard Rayleigh sphere; and (2) large sphere in the geometrical scattering regime. Results show that the scattering from these particles is highly anisotropic. It is also shown that for geometrical scattering case isotropic scattering leads to the conclusion of total internal reflection at the particle/medium interface.
