Strongly coupled plasma physics proceedings of the Yamada Conference XXIV on Strongly Coupled Plasma Physics, Lake Yamanaka, Japan, August 29-September 2, 1989 (North-Holland, 1990)
Sponsored by the Yamada Science Foundation
Includes bibliographical references and indexes
Charged particles in dense matter exhibit strong correlations due to the exchange and Coulomb interactions, and thus make a strongly coupled plasma. Examples in laboratory and astrophysical settings include solid and liquid metals, semiconductors, charged particles in lower dimensions such as those trapped in interfacial states of condensed matter or beams, dense multi-ionic systems such a superionic conductors and inertial-confinement-fusion plasmas . The aim of the conference was to elucidate the various physical processes involved in these dense materials. The subject areas covered include plasma physics, atomic and molecular physics, condensed matter physics and astrophysics
