Quantum physics functions (plasmapy.formulary.quantum)

Functions for quantum parameters, including electron degenerate gases and warm dense matter.

Functions

chemical_potential(n_e, T)	Calculate the ideal chemical potential.
deBroglie_wavelength(V, particle)	Returns the de Broglie wavelength.
Ef_(n_e)	Alias to Fermi_energy().
Fermi_energy(n_e)	Calculate the kinetic energy in a degenerate electron gas.
lambdaDB_(V, particle)	Alias to deBroglie_wavelength().
lambdaDB_th_(T_e)	Alias to thermal_deBroglie_wavelength().
Thomas_Fermi_length(n_e)	Calculate the exponential scale length for charge screening for cold and dense plasmas.
thermal_deBroglie_wavelength(T_e)	Calculate the thermal de Broglie wavelength for electrons.
Wigner_Seitz_radius(n)	Calculate the Wigner-Seitz radius, which approximates the inter- particle spacing.
