Аннотация:Using experimental data on compression and heating of dense metallic plasma by powerful shock waves, we have analyzed the effect of strong Coulomb interaction on both discrete and continuum bands of energy spectrum, the role of short-range repulsion, and the effect of degeneracy on the equation of state for a dense, nonideal metallic plasma. Explosive devices have been used to produce plasma for which the degree of ionization, nonideal parameter, and degeneracy varied over wide ranges. In order to increase effects of irreversible energy dissipation, metal targets of low densities have been used. Thermodynamic measurements have been compared to theoretical models taking into account Coulomb interaction, short-range repulsion, and degeneracy of electrons. The plasma models have been shown to be applicable to the equilibrium properties of multiply ionized plasma in a wide region of the phase diagram characterized by extremely high parameters [T greater than or equal to 10(4) K, P greater than or equal to 10 GPa, and rho = (0.1-1)rho(0)], which is beyond the traditional domain of plasma physics.
