Plasma Basic Data

The basic data e.g. particle compositions, thermodynamic properties, transport coefficients, diffusion coefficients, radiation coefficients, electron-impact cross sections, et al. are required for the simulation of plasmas. We developed various methods for the calculation of basic data or properties of various plasmas.
