Semiclassical dynamics and time correlations in two-component plasmas

The semiclassical dynamics of a charged particle moving in a two-component plasma is considered using a corrected Kelbg pseudopotential. We employ the classical Nevanlinna-type theory of frequency moments to determine the velocity and force autocorrelation functions. The constructed expressions preserve the exact short and long-time behavior of the autocorrelators. The short-time behavior is characterized by two parameters which are expressable through the plasma static correlation functions. The long-time behavior is determined by the self-diffusion coefficient. The theoretical predictions are compared with the results of semiclassical molecular dynamics simulation.

Electric microfield distribution in two-component plasmas. Theory and Simulations

The distribution of the electric microfield at a charged particle moving in a two-component plasma is calculated. The theoretical approximations are obtained via the parameter integration technique and using the screened pair approximation for the generalized radial distribution function. It is shown that the two-component plasma microfield distribution shows a larger probability of high microfield values than the corresponding distribution of the commonly used OCP model. The theory is checked by quasiclassical molecular-dynamics simulations. For the simulations a corrected Kelbg pseudopotential has been used.
