Abstract

In this chapter we substantially extend the analysis of the previous chapters to two-component partially ionized Coulomb systems with positive and negative charges and a mass ratio M varying between one and two thousand. While low values of the mass ratio M are directly relevant for semiconductors, we do not consider any special solid state properties here, but focus on the fundamental aspects of Coulomb correlations in two-component plasmas which depend on M. In this way, we may cover the case of mass-symmetric plasmas on the one hand and the case of heavy-ion plasmas on the other as special cases.
