This work is concerned with the development of a novel, accurate equation of state for describing partially ionised air plasma in local thermodynamic equilibrium. One key application for this new equation of state is the simulation of…
The concept of basic chemical models is introduced, which is new from the standpoint of the physics of nonideal atomic plasma. This concept is based on the requirement of full conformity of the expression for free energy in the chemical…

The Bredig transition to the superionic phase indicated with the lambda-peak in Cp was highly expected for PuO2 as other actinide dioxides. However, least-square fit and local smoothing techniques applied to the experimental enthalpy data…
