The nonthermal and plasmon effects on elastic electron-ion collisions are investigated in hot quantum Lorentzian plasmas. The modified interaction model taking into account the nonthermal screening and plasmon effects is employed to represent the electron-ion interaction potential in hot quantum Lorentzian plasmas. The eikonal phase and differential collision cross-section are obtained as functions of the impact parameter, collision energy, spectral index, and plasma parameters by using the second-order eikonal analysis. It is shown that the plasmon effect suppresses the eikonal phase and collision cross-section for 0 < β (ћω0/kBT < 0.6) and, however, enhances it for 0.6 < β < 1, where ω0 is the plasma frequency and T is the plasma temperature. It is also shown that the nonthermal character of the quantum Lorentzian plasma suppresses the elastic electron-ion collision cross-section.

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.

Plasma screening effects on elastic electron–ion collision processes in a Lorentzian (kappa)-distribution plasma are investigated using the eikonal method. The electron–ion interaction potential is obtained by introducing a plasma dielectric function εκ. The semiclassical straight-line trajectory method is applied to the path of a projectile electron in order to investigate the variation of the eikonal phase as a function of impact parameter and spectral index κ. In the first-order eikonal approximation, the dynamic plasma screening effect on the eikonal phase is found to be a static screening effect, and depends only on the Debye length and spectral index. The position of the maximum of the differential elastic eikonal cross-section recedes from the ion core with increasing spectral index. The plasma screening effect on the eikonal cross-section increases with decreasing spectral index.

AbstractThe effects of dynamic temperature and electron–electron collisions on the elastic electron–ion collision are investigated in a collisional plasma. The second-order eikonal analysis and the velocity-dependent screening length are employed to derive the eikonal phase shift and eikonal cross section as functions of collision energy, electron collision frequency, Debye length, impact parameter, and thermal energy. It is interesting to find out that the electron–electron collision effect would be vanished; however, the dynamic temperature effect is included in the first-order approximation. We have found that the dynamic temperature effect strongly enhances the eikonal phase shift as well as the eikonal cross section for electron–ion collision since the dynamic screening increases the effective shielding distance. In addition, the detailed characteristic behavior of the dynamic screening function is also discussed.

The influence of electron exchange and quantum shielding on the elastic electron-ion collision is investigated in degenerate quantum plasmas. The second-order eikonal method and effective screened potential are employed to obtain the scattering phase shift and collision cross section as functions of the impact parameter, collision energy, electron-exchange parameter, Fermi energy, and plasmon energy. It is found that the electron-exchange effect enhances the eikonal scattering phase shift as well as the eikonal collision cross section in quantum plasmas. The maximum position of the differential eikonal collision cross section is found to be receded from the collision center with an increase of the electron-exchange effect. It is interesting to note that the influence of the electron exchange on the eikonal collision cross section decreases with increasing collision energy. It is also found that the eikonal collision cross section decreases with an increase of the plasmon energy and, however, increases with increasing Fermi energy.

The results of optical emission spectroscopy (OES) investigation of plasma of electric arc discharges in steadystate mode between Cu-Cr composite electrodes, manufactured at different sintered temperatures: 750, 850, 950 or 1050 °C, is presented. In particular, the impact of sintering temperature on erosion resistanceof such composite materials, which was determined in indirect manner by estimation of metal vapours content in the midsection of discharge gaps, is studied by the analysis of plasma parameters. These contents were calculated in assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) on the base of experimentally obtained radial distributions of plasma temperature and electron density.

The Lorentzian renormalization plasma shielding effects on the elastic electron–atom collision are investigated in generalized Lorentzian semiclassical plasmas. The eikonal analysis and the effective interaction potential are employed to obtain the eikonal scattering phase shift, differential eikonal collision cross section, and total eikonal collision cross section as functions of the collision energy, impact parameter, nonthermal renormalization parameter, and spectral index of the Lorentzian plasma. It is found that the influence of Lorentzian renormalization shielding suppresses the eikonal scattering phase shift and, however, enhances the eikonal collision cross section in Lorentzian semiclassical plasmas. Additionally, the energy dependence on the total collision cross section in nonthermal plasmas is found to be more significant than that in thermal plasmas.

AbstractThe influence of nonisothermal and quantum shielding on the electron-ion collision process is investigated in strongly coupled two-temperature plasmas. The eikonal method is employed to obtain the eikonal scattering phase shift and eikonal cross section as functions of the impact parameter, collision energy, electron temperature, ion temperature, Debye length, and de Broglie wavelength. The results show that the quantum effect suppresses the eikonal scattering phase shift for the electron-ion collision in two-temperature dense plasmas. It is also found that the differential eikonal cross section decreases for small impact parameters. However, it increases for large impact parameters with increasing de Broglie wavelength. It is also found that the maximum position of the differential eikonal cross section is receded from the collision center with an increase in the nonisothermal character of the plasma. In addition, it is found that the total eikonal cross sections in isothermal plasmas are always greater than those in two-temperature plasmas. The variations of the eikonal cross section due to the two-temperature and quantum shielding effects are also discussed.
