Abstract
A theoretical model is developed and results of calculations of thermodynamic and optical characteristics of a plasma in the approximation of a radiative-collisional model that allows their calculation in wide temperature and density ranges are reported. Energy levels, ionization potentials, probabilities of transitions are calculated by quantum-mechanical methods in the Hartree-Fock-Slater approximation. For some chemical elements use is also made of extensive experimental spectroscopic information that provides the possibility of determining the energy levels and wavelengths of optical transitions with a high accuracy.
