TL;DR: In this paper, an equation of state is derived for degenerate plasmas, which connects the density with the chemical potentials of the species, and the formation of bound states is accounted for by a screened ladder approximation.
Abstract: In the framework of the Green's function technique an equation of state is derived for degenerate plasmas, which connects the density with the chemical potentials of the species. The formation of bound states is accounted for by a screened ladder approximation. A mass action law is given which includes several improvements as compared with the Saha equation. The influence of the latter on the ionization equilibrium is discussed.
