Fermi Dirac free electron model is applied to very dense plasmas with medium or low temperatures. While Boltzmann statistics can lead to very high densities of ionized electrons, only at very high temperatures, Fermi Dirac statistics can support the high densities of ionized electrons at medium or low temperatures due to the high degeneracies obtained in this model. Since very dense plasmas may be obtained at low temperatures the corresponding black body radiation with the plasma luminosity will be quite small. On the other hand gravitational effects might be quite large due to the high densities. The optical properties for dense plasmas are calculated. The present study might have implications to dense stars plasma.

The optical properties of plasmas with high densities and medium temperatures are analyzed by the use of a free electron model with Fermi-Dirac statistics. For the present collisional plasma the frequency of electron-ion collision is very large relative to the optical and infra-red frequencies. A quantum mechanical equation for the frequency of collisions is developed by the use of Fermi-Dirac statistics and Rutherford scattering theory. The validity of the Rutherford scattering theory is discussed. The influence of many weak collisions is taken into account by a Coulomb logarithmic function. The present analysis might have implication to stellar plasmas with medium temperatures for which Fermi-Dirac statistics is used. The relations between the present analysis and the stabilities of stars plasmas are discussed. The ratio between the radius and mass of star plasmas with the present densities and that of a typical white dwarf are discussed.
A commercially available calorimeter has been used to investigate the specific heat of a high-quality kn single crystal. The addenda heat capacity of the calorimeter is determined in the temperature range $0.02 , mathrm{K} leq T leq 0.54 , mathrm{K}$. The data of the kn crystal imply the presence of a large $T^2$ contribution to the specific heat which gives evidence of $d$-wave order parameter symmetry in the superconducting state. To improve the measurements, a novel design for a calorimeter with a paramagnetic temperature sensor is presented. It promises a temperature resolution of $Delta T approx 0.1 , mathrm{mu K}$ and an addenda heat capacity less than $200 , mathrm{pJ/K}$ at $ T < 100 , mathrm{mK}$.
Here we discuss the possibility of employment of ultrarelativistic electron and proton bunches for generation of high plasma wakefields in dense plasmas due to the Cherenkov resonance plasma-bunch interaction. We estimate the maximum amplitude of such a wake and minimum system length at which the maximum amplitude can be generated at the given bunch parameters.
The Landau form of the Fokker-Planck equation is the gold standard for plasmas dominated by small angle collisions, however its $Order{N^2}$ work complexity has limited its practicality. This paper extends previous work on a fully conservative finite element method for this Landau collision operator with adaptive mesh refinement, optimized for vector machines, by porting the algorithm to the Cuda programming model with implementations in Cuda and Kokkos, and by reporting results within a Vlasov-Maxwell-Landau model of a plasma thermal quench. With new optimizations of the Landau kernel and ports of this kernel, the sparse matrix assembly and algebraic solver to Cuda, the cost of a well resolved Landau collision time advance is shown to be practical for kinetic plasma applications. This fully implicit Landau time integrator and the plasma quench model is available in the PETSc (Portable, Extensible, Toolkit for Scientific computing) numerical library.
We relate the Fermi-Dirac statistics of an ideal Fermi gas in a harmonic trap to partitions of given integers into distinct parts, studied in number theory. Using methods of quantum statistical physics we derive analytic expressions for cumulants of the probability distribution of the number of different partitions.
