- Abstract
- The Coulomb focusing effect on the electron-atom bremsstrahlung spectrum is investigated in nonthermal Lorentzian plasmas. The universal expression of the cross section of nonrelativistic electron-atom bremsstrahlung process is obtained by the solution of the Thomas-Fermi equation with the effective atomic charge. The effective Coulomb focusing for the electron-atom bremsstrahlung cross section near the threshold domain is also investigated by adopting the modified Elwert-Sommerfeld factor with the mean effective charge for the bremsstrahlung process. In addition, the bremsstrahlung emission rates are obtained by considering encounters between nonthermal electrons and atoms such as Fe and W atoms. We found that the bremsstrahlung emission rates for nonthermal electron-atoms are lower than those for thermal plasmas. Various nonthermal effects on the bremsstrahlung emission rates in Lorentzian plasmas are also discussed.
