Download or read book Quantum-Statistical Models of Hot Dense Matter written by Arnold F. Nikiforov and published by Birkhäuser. This book was released on 2009-09-03 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies the widely used theoretical models for calculating properties of hot dense matter. Calculations are illustrated by plots and tables, and they are compared with experimental results. The purpose is to help understanding of atomic physics in hot plasma and to aid in developing efficient and robust computer codes for calculating opacity and equations of state for arbitrary material in a wide range of temperatures and densities.
