Beskrivning

This book deals with the statistical theory of strongly coupled Coulomb systems. After an elementary introduction to the physics of nonideal plasmas, a presentation of the method of (nonequilibrium) Green's functions is given. On this basis, the dielectric, thermodynamic, transport, and relaxation properties are discussed systematically. Especially, the behavior of bound states in the surrounding plasma (lowering of the ionization energy), the ionization kinetics, and the equation of state of dense partially ionized hydrogen are each carefully investigated. Furthermore, generalized kinetic equations are derived which are also valid for short time scales. They are applied to ultra-fast processes and to plasmas in laser fields.

From the reviews: "The authors give an in depth and up-to-date study of the physics and mathematics of nonideal plasmas. The emphasis of the book is, therefore, on strongly coupled many-particle systems. ... the authors integrate classical theory and quantum statistics to give a full physical description of strongly correlated plasmas. ... This is an interesting and well written book that can be a useful source for researchers in the field of plasma physics and quantum statistics. It could also be used as an advanced graduate level textbook." (Stephen Wollman, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2006 e) "In the present comprehensive work ... an introduction is given into the quantum statistics of equilibrium and non-equilibrium systems ... . the dynamical, the thermodynamic and the kinetic properties of strongly coupled plasmas are dealt with on a wide scale. ... The bibliography at the end of the volume includes relevant monographs and original papers. The book is intended as a graduate-level textbook. But it is also useful to researchers in the field of plasma physics and quantum statistics." (Claudia-Veronika Meister, Zentrablatt MATH, Vol. 1096 (22), 2006)
