Struct ElectronPlasma 

pub struct ElectronPlasma {
    pub electron_number_density: f64,
    pub electron_temperature_kelvin: f64,
}

A simple electron-plasma state.

Fields

electron_number_density: f64

Electron number density in particles per cubic meter.

electron_temperature_kelvin: f64

Electron temperature in kelvin.

Implementations

impl ElectronPlasma

pub fn new( electron_number_density: f64, electron_temperature_kelvin: f64, ) -> Option<ElectronPlasma>

Creates an electron-plasma state when both values are finite and non-negative.

pub fn plasma_angular_frequency(&self) -> Option<f64>

Computes the electron plasma angular frequency.

pub fn plasma_frequency(&self) -> Option<f64>

Computes the electron plasma frequency.

pub fn debye_length(&self) -> Option<f64>

Computes the Debye length for this plasma state.

Examples

use use_plasma::ElectronPlasma;

let plasma = ElectronPlasma::new(1.0e18, 10_000.0);

assert!(plasma.and_then(|value| value.debye_length()).is_some_and(|value| value > 0.0));

pub fn debye_number(&self) -> Option<f64>

Computes the Debye number for this plasma state.

pub fn thermal_speed(&self) -> Option<f64>

Computes the electron thermal speed.

pub fn pressure(&self) -> Option<f64>

Computes the scalar electron pressure using p = n k_B T.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for ElectronPlasma

fn clone(&self) -> ElectronPlasma

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for ElectronPlasma

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl PartialEq for ElectronPlasma

fn eq(&self, other: &ElectronPlasma) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.
