Hybrid density functional (HDF) approximations usually deliver higher accuracy than local and semilocal approximations to the exchange-correlation functional, but this comes with drastically increased computational cost. Practical…
The helium I line intensity ratio (LIR) method is used to measure the electron density ($n_e$) and temperature ($T_e$) of fusion-relevant plasmas. Although the collisional-radiative model (CRM) has been used to predict $n_e$ and $T_e$,…
