Quantum physics functions (plasmapy.formulary.quantum
)
Functions for quantum parameters, including electron degenerate gases and warm dense matter.
Functions
|

Return the de Broglie wavelength. |
|
Calculate the kinetic energy in a degenerate electron gas. |
|
Compare Fermi energy to thermal kinetic energy to check if quantum effects are important. |
Calculate the thermal de Broglie wavelength for electrons. |
|
|
Calculate the exponential scale length for charge screening for cold and dense plasmas. |
Calculate the Wigner-Seitz radius, which approximates the inter-particle spacing. |
Aliases
PlasmaPy provides aliases of the most common plasma
functionality for user convenience. Aliases in PlasmaPy are
denoted with a trailing underscore (e.g., alias_
). For
