✦ Synopsis
The two-dimensional Thomas-Fermi equation is solved to investigate the influence of strong static electric fields on atoms and ions in dense plasmas. The method shown uses the solution in the direction of the field to calculate finally the 2D result. The solution shows that the usual perturbational treatment is inadequate because the atoms try to compensate the effect of the applied field.
