Optical Properties of Plasmas Based on an Average-Atom Model
Optical properties of plasmas, including dielectric constants, indices of refraction, and absorption coefficients, are determined from an average-atom point of view. Linear response of an average atom to an harmonic electric field leads to an averageatom version of the Kubo-Greenwood formula, which is used to calculate the frequencydependent electric conductivity of the plasma. The frequency-de...
متن کاملRecovering thermodynamic consistency of the antitrapping model: a variational phase-field formulation for alloy solidification.
The phenomenological antitrapping phase-field model has attained much success in describing alloy solidification. The heuristically introduced antitrapping current enables removing artificial effects due to the use of large interfacial width. Nevertheless, such a model is not thermodynamically consistent and has not been fitted into a variational framework. Here we present two approaches to dev...
متن کاملPartial ionization in dense plasmas: comparisons among average-atom density functional models.
Nuclei interacting with electrons in dense plasmas acquire electronic bound states, modify continuum states, generate resonances and hopping electron states, and generate short-range ionic order. The mean ionization state (MIS), i.e, the mean charge Z of an average ion in such plasmas, is a valuable concept: Pseudopotentials, pair-distribution functions, equations of state, transport properties...
متن کاملConsistency Check of Image Databases
Checking the consistency of image databases is not a completely solved problem. To decide if an image has already been inserted into the database can only be checked by actually looking through the images, or using the textual descriptive keywords attached to the database items. Both the visual checking and the keyword search in a large image database may result in errors. Several methods of co...
متن کاملFrequentist Consistency of Variational Bayes
A key challenge for modern Bayesian statistics is how to perform scalable inference of posterior distributions. To address this challenge, variational Bayes (vb) methods have emerged as a popular alternative to the classical Markov chain Monte Carlo (mcmc) methods. vb methods tend to be faster while achieving comparable predictive performance. However, there are few theoretical results around v...
