It is shown that the attractive force between ions in a degenerate quantum plasma, recently predicted by Shukla and Eliasson [Shukla, Eliasson, PRL 108, 165007 (2012), arXiv:1112.5556] using a generalized quantum hydrodynamical model, is…
We report new attractive force between ions that are shielded by degenerate electrons in quantum plasmas. Specifically, we show that the electric potential around an isolated ion has a hard core negative part that resembles the…
By means of particle simulations of the equations of motion for ions interacting among themselves under the influence of newly discovered Shukla-Eliasson attractive force (SEAF) in a dense quantum plasma, we demonstrate that the SEAF can…
In a recent article [P.K. Shukla, B. Eliasson and M. Akbari-Moghanjoughi, Physica Scripta {\bf 87}, 018202 (2013)] the authors criticized our analysis of the screened proton potential in dense hydrogen that was based on {\em ab initio}…
We study a positively charged Vlasov-Poisson plasma in which N negative point charges are immersed. The attractiveness of the system forces us to consider a possibly unbounded plasma density near the charges. We prove the existence of a…

In a recent letter [P.K. Shukla and B. Eliasson, Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 165007 (2012)] the discovery of a new attractive force between protons in a hydrogen plasma was reported that would be responsible for the formation of molecules and of…
We present a simulation study of the charging of a dust grain immersed in a plasma, considering the effect of electron emission from the grain (thermionic effect). It is shown that the OML theory is no longer reliable when electron emission…
Effective potential of a charged dusty particle moving in homogeneous plasma has a negative part that provides attraction between similarly charged dusty particles. A depth of this potential well is great enough to ensure both stability of…
In this research we report the dielectric response of a finite temperature electron gas, electrostatically interacting with both external and self-induced plasmonic fields, in the well-known random phase approximation. The generalized…
Two-dimensional systems may admit a hexatic phase and hexatic-liquid transitions of different natures. The determination of their phase diagrams proved challenging, and indeed those of hard-disks, hard regular polygons, and inverse…
Most treatments of electron-electron correlations in dense plasmas either ignore them entirely (random phase approximation) or neglect the role of ions (jellium approximation). In this work, we go beyond both these approximations to derive…
The electrical conductivity in dense plasmas can be calculated with the relaxation-time approximation provided that the interaction potential between the scattering electron and the ion is known. To date there has been considerable…
We study the interactions between two negatively charged macroscopic surfaces confining positive counterions. A density-functional approach is introduced which, besides the usual mean-field interactions, takes into account the correlations…
Based on the quantum hydrodynamic model, a new relationship between the electrostatic-potential and the electron-density in the ultra-dense plasma is derived. Propagation of arbitrary amplitude nonlinear ion waves is, then, investigated in…
Using molecular dynamic simulations we study a system of particles interacting through a continuous core-softened potentials consisting of a hard core, a shoulder at closest distances and an attractive well at further distance. We obtain…
Molecular Dynamics simulations of a Lennard-Jones system with different range of attraction show that the attractive forces modify the radial distribution of the particles. For condensed liquids only, the forces within the the first…

Using the Schr\"odinger-Poisson system in this paper the basic quantum features of plasmon excitations in a free noninteracting electron gas with arbitrary degeneracy is investigated. The standing wave solution of the free electron gas is…
In an earlier paper we demonstrated that the "novel attractive force" between protons in dense hydrogen reported by Shukla and Eliasson based on linearized quantum hydrodynamics (LQHD) is wrong. As benchmark results we used state of the art…
