ANALYTICAL EVALUATION OF HOLTSMARK DISTRIBUTION OF ENERGIES AND ITS ROLE IN PLASMA MICROFIELDS
Özet
The distribution of electric microfields influences many elementary processes in plasma as well as governs a number of its optic properties. It is well known that the Holtsmark distribution was first used for plasma microfields. Because the stars are consisting of plasmas, the Holtsmark distribution may give valuable information to the astrophysicists. With this spirit in mind, we have proposed an analytical expression for the calculation of Holtsmark distribution. The obtained results show that our approximation is in good agreement with literature data. The proposed method can be easily applied in plasma physical and astrophysical studies.
