Average absorption coefficients and mean free paths of radiation of the continuous spectrum in the region of multiple and total ionization

Abstract

Consideration is given to problems of averaging absorption coefficients of atoms and multiply charged ions with passage to the region of total ionization. It is shown that correct allowance for ionization of hydrogen-like ions makes it possible to pass automatically to coefficients of absorption in the continuous spectrum. A comparison is made with detailed calculations of mean free paths for a number of elements.
