Stationary Occupied State in a Coulomb Potential with Electron Screening

TL;DR: In this paper, an analytical form of screened impurity potential is derived, taking into account the presence of a bound electron exhibiting a hydrogenic wave function, and a subsequent calculation of the impurity level as a function of the screening parameter is performed.

Debye-Hückel Free Energy for a weakly Nonideal Plasma with Helium-like Bound States

TL;DR: In this article, a variational solution for the ground state of the helium-like atom is given, and the corresponding Free Energy is explicitely given, providing a simple means to describe the forming of bound states in consistency with the surrounding plasma and surpassing in this sense perturbation theories.

The transition to the metallic state

Nevill Mott
TL;DR: In this paper, an account of the theory that a crystalline or non-crystalline array of atoms will make a transition from the metallic to the non-metallic state as the interatomic distance is varied is given.

The Thomas-Fermi theory of atoms, molecules and solids

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors place the Thomas-Fermi model of the quantum theory of atoms, molecules, and solids on a firm mathematical footing and show that the quantum mechanical energy is asymptotic to the Thomas Fermi energy.

The story of coulombic critiality

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of phase separation and criticality in ionic fluids is presented, including other conceivable options (spherical model, tricriticality, etc.). Attention is drawn to Nabutovskii's work and various scenarios are illustrated with the aid of schematic phase diagrams containing multicritical points that could, in principle, separate two distinct universality classes of electrolyte criticality.
