Modifications of bound states in dense plasma environments

Electronic bound states in dense plasmas are modified, due to screening of ionic potentials by nearby free charge carriers. In particular, screening typically reduces the ionization energies of bound electrons. In this thesis, we explore the key physics underlying bound state modifications and ioniz...
