The Gibbs Variational Method in Thermodynamics of Equilibrium Plasma: 4. One-Component Charged Gas in an External Electric Field

Abstract

This report is the fourth part of the study published under the common umbrella The Gibbs Variational Method in Thermodynamics of Equilibrium Plasma. In Parts 13, we formulated a novel approach to thermodynamics of one- and two-component heterogeneous systems completely or partially filled with a liquid substance in a plasma state. The approach is based on the use of the Gibbs variational principles and it enables efforts to address a variety of problems relating to equilibrium and stability of such systems. In this fourth part, the results of the Parts 13 are applied to the analysis of equilibrium configurations of a one-component charged gas trapped between two parallel plates (the geometry often used in various applications).
