Thermodynamic Properties and Stochastic Kinetics of Ionization and Recombination in Partially Ionized Dense Plasma

The equation of state of hydrogen at high pressure
is still uncertain and the physical nature of the
observed insulator-to-metal transition is controversial.
In this book these properties are analyzed
and modeled with an emphasis on the interpretation
of shock wave experiments.
Furthermore the stochastic kinetics of electron transitions
and ionization front propagation is investigated.
