	Saha ionization equation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Saha equation describes the degree of ionization of this plasma as a function of the temperature, density, and ionization energies of the atoms.
		The Saha equation is useful for determining the ratio of particle densities for two different ionization levels.
		This equation simply states that the potential for an atom of ionization state i to ionize is the same as the potential for an electron and an atom of ionization state i+1; the potentials are equal, therefore the system is in equilibrium and no net change of ionization will occur.

		Meghnad Saha was born on October 6, 1893 in the family of a village grocer in Seoratali, a small hamlet in Bangladesh.
		Saha showed up barefoot as usual, which was seen an act of deliberate insult to the distinguished visitor, and he was duly suspended from the school.
		Saha’s contributions to astrophysics were widely recognized and in 1927, Meghnad was elected as a fellow of London's Royal Society.

	Meghnad Saha - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Meghnad N. Saha (Bangla:মেঘনাদ সাহা) (Devanagari: मेघनाद साहा) (October 6, 1893 – February 16, 1956) was a Bengali Indian astrophysicist.
		Meghnad Saha's basic work was on the Thermal ionisation of elements and it led him to formulate what is known as the Saha equation.
		Saha was the leading spirit in organizing the scientific societies like the 'National Academy of Science' (1930), the 'Indian Physical Society' (1934), 'Indian Institute of Science' (1935) and the 'Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science' (1944).

		Saha, Meghnad (1893-1956) born on 6 October 1893 in the village of Seoratoli in Talebad Pargana of the district of Dhaka in eastern Bengal (presently Bangladesh).
		Saha recognised the importance of the recently discovered nuclear fission of uranium in nuclear physics and for the utilisation of nuclear energy for industrial purposes.
		Saha opposed the proposal on the ground that India at that point did not have the necessary industrial base or the required manpower.

		He used this to provide a (rigorous) derivation of the ionization formula which as described earlier Saha had obtained by extending (and justifiably) to ionization of atoms the theorem of van't Hoff, well known in physical chemistry for its application to molecular dissociation.
		Also, a significant improvement in the Saha equation introduced by Fowler was to include the effect of the excited states of atoms and ions.
		: `Saha had concentrated on the marginal appearances and disappearances of absorption lines in the stellar sequence, assuming an order of magnitude for the pressure in a stellar atmosphere and calculating the temperature where increasing ionization, for example, inhibited further absorption of the line in question owing to the loss of the series electron.

		Ionization equilibrium is described by the Saha equation.
		Thermal equilibrium between atomic and ion states is described by the Boltzman equation, where the statistical weight of the ion state is approximately given by the number density of free states with momenta less than thermal, and the statistical weight of the atomic state by the number density of nuclei.
		Therefore, even when it is energetically unlikely that an electron finds itself with enough energy to overcome the binding energy of the atom, the sheer number of available free states enhances the probability that the electron will be free.

		Therefore, the radiative transfer equation is a partial integro-differential equation, which describes a boundary value problem in r (the on the shell incident intensities are known) and initial value problem in ν (only for the case of monotonic velocity fields).

		The free energy is minimized in order to obtain the Saha equation which is required to find the number of particles in each degree of ionization.
		First, any additional term to the free energy appears with its partial derivative with respect to the number density of particles and as an argument of the exponential in the Saha equation.
		Most of the physical quantities appearing in the equations for energy and pressure of different kinds of gases can be identified, explicitly or implicitly, in terms of number density of electrons.

	Improved Practical Model for Dense Plasma Equation of State (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		A widely used practical equation of state for dense plasmas under the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) is based upon the Thomas-Fermi theory.
		This model has two main weaknesses: first the assumption of equilibrium, and second the characteristic tendency of the Thomas-Fermi theory to overionize at low temperatures and densities.
		We have therefore developed a simple Saha equation package, including a table of ionization potentials and negative-ion binding energies for the elements, and combined it with the Thomas-Fermi subroutine to obtain a better general-purpose equation of state for ionization state, energy, specific heat, and pressure.
