Phase Transition in Simplest Plasma Models

Abstract

The properties of the first-order phase transition in a set of plasma models with common feature - absence of individual correlations between charges of op-posite sign, have been studied. Predicted discontinuities in equilibrium non-uniform charge profiles have been calculated for the case of electron distribution in atomic cell and some other similar situations. These anomalies appear when some simple approximations are used and they may be naturally interpreted in terms of discussed phase transition
