The effects of hot-dense plasmas on the bound states and the dipole polarizability of the ground state of Coulomb three-body molecular ion H+2 have been investigated using highly correlated basis functions and by considering the Debye shielding approach of plasma modeling. The ground S state and the first excited P state energies along with the dipole polarizability for different shielding parameters are reported.

The effect of Debye plasmas on the dispersion coefficient \{C6\} for interactions among H and He atoms has been investigated for the first time using highly correlated exponential basis functions. The \{C6\} coefficient for the interactions among H and He are reported for various Debye lengths.

We have investigated the doubly excited 1,3 P o resonance states of helium embedded in weakly coupled plasmas. A screened Coulomb potential obtained from the Debye model is used to represent the interaction between the charge particles. A correlated wavefunction consisting of a generalized exponential expansion has been used to represent the correlation effect. A total of 18 resonances (9 each for 1 P o and 3 P o states) below the n = 2 He + thresholds has been estimated by calculating the density of states using a stabilization method. For each spin state, this includes four members in the 2s n p + (2 ≤ n ≤ 5) series, three members in the 2s n p − (3 ≤ n ≤ 5) series, and two members from 2p n d( n = 3, 4) series. The resonance energies and widths for various Debye parameters ranging from infinity to a small value for these 1,3 P o resonance states are reported. In addition, the wavelengths for the photo-absorption of a helium atom from its ground state to such 1 P o resonance states for different Debye lengths are also reported.

We have made a first investigation on the resonances in two electron systems in various model plasma environments. The 2s2 1Se autoionization resonance state in the helium atom is determined by calculating the density of resonance states using the stabilization method. A screened Coulomb potential obtained from the Debye model is used to represent the interaction between the charged particles. A correlated wave function has been used to represent the correlation effect between the three charge particles. The calculated resonance energies and widths for various Debye parameters ranging from infinity to a small value along with the ground state energies are reported.
