Abstract

In this paper, considering the plasma electronic exchange intraction effects, first, Thomas–Fermi equation has been solved numerically. Then, employing the results of these equations, the amount of exchange corrections for pressure and internal energy of the plasma (electron gas with specific atomic number) has been calculated based on variation of plasma density and temperature. The results of the calculations can be used in both quantitative and qualitative description of changing the phase of matter in high temperature and density, encountered with in theoretical and experimental studies of inertial fusion and astro physical phenomena as well.
