Abstract
Playing with the geometrical dimensionality of plasmas models gives us the opportunity to explore models with different properties. In particular, a lower dimensionality allows us to avoid a quantum description of interactions between oppositely charged particles, totally in one dimension and partially in two dimensions. We will describe some models; from the One and Two Component Plasma in one and two dimensions to the “true” three dimensional plasma combined with a Thomas-Fermi description of the electrons.
