Abstract

In this work the processes of electron-electron interaction taking place in a highly excited electron gas are analyzed on the basis of molecular dynamics simulations. The time evolution of the system is described by using either classic mechanics or a quantum mechanical representation. New aspects of the collective behaviour of the particles are born out by the simulations.
