Abstract
Our work during this period continued to have as its main objective the study of (a) the thermodynamics and structure of plasmas and dense molecular fluids and (b) the distribution of the microfield in a strongly coupled plasma. Our research included both rigorous analysis and approximation schemes. We continued applying our medium approximation to a variety of systems. This method continues to be the simplest scheme available for dealing with dense diatomic fluids. It also seems to work reasonably well for simple mixtures. In fact, we found a new scheme for reproducing a mixture to a one component fluid, which we hope to explore further. In the area of plasmas our APEX approximation seems to be the best one around for static microfield distribution. We have, during the last year, obtained some new results about the time dependent gas, but no simple approximation scheme yet.
