To study plasma thermodynamics, we need an ef- fective potential u (r) for the interaction bet-

These potentials yield back the exact value for r=o and ~=o(~).~og(2) takes account exchange effect of the two particles(spin=1/2). We know of a better appro~imation(~)which reads :

To describe the thermodynamics of multicompo- nent plasma, we use a matrix language(6). The Debye like potential,Vij(r), is shown in the next figure in which the sums run over all species,and straight lines uQk(r) are the interactions(temperature de- pendent) between two particles.

For an electron-proton plasma, with the potentials:

with : q = b/& AD << 1.
For a classical electron-proton plasma (u(r) is the coulombic potential), if the number of Debye chains arriving to a nodal point is odd, the graph
van is he^'^).
This is not right when temperature dependent potentials are needed. This is right only for the coulombic contribution to the graph but there is an additional quantum contribution. We are currently considering the electron-proton plasma and also the electron-proton-iron ion plasma at least a first order in A. We shall be able to give results in a short time.(1) A.A. BARKER, J.
