论文摘要
最近开发的“熵缺陷”概念对于理解空间等离子体物理学中的热力学基础,更普遍地对于其颗粒之间物理相关的系统很重要。使用此概念,本文得出了空间等离子体粒子种群中速度(或动能能力)的分布功能的基本公式。较早的分析表明,如何与粒子速度之间存在相关性的形式相互交织。本文首次表明,相反是真实的:粒子物理相关性的热力学仅与Kappa分布的存在一致。
The recently developed concept of "entropic defect" is important for understanding the foundations of thermodynamics in space plasma physics, and more generally, for systems with physical correlations among their particles. Using this concept, this paper derives the basic formulation of the distribution function of velocities (or kinetic energies) in space plasma particle populations. Earlier analyses have shown how the formulation of kappa distributions is interwoven with the presence of correlations among the particles' velocities. This paper shows, for the first time, that the reverse is true: the thermodynamics of particles' physical correlations are consistent only with the existence of kappa distributions.
