Abstract

In this work, the Saha equation is solved using atomic data provided by means of analytical potentials to calculate the ionization state and ion abundances for local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) plasmas of Al, Fe, and Au. The plasma effects are taking into account using an analytical potential which includes plasma effects. The problem of the cut off partition functions in the Saha equation is also analyzed using three different criteria. Finally, some opacity calculations are performed.
