jaxrts.plasma_physics.wiegner_seitz_radius(n_e: Quantity) → Quantity

Return the Wiegner Seitz Radius \(r_s\).

\[r_s = \sqrt[3]{\frac{3}{4\pi n_e}}\]

Note

Some authors use the Wiegner-Seitz radius as a dimensionless unit by dividing by the Bohr radius. This is not done here, rather \(r_s\) has the dimensionality of a length.

Parameters:

n_e – Electron density. Units of 1/[length]**3.

Returns:

Quantity – The Wiegner Seitz Radius \(r_s\) in units of a length.
