Understanding Friedel Oscillations in Degenerate Electron Plasma

Recent research by Riccardo Fantoni, titled "Static screening in a degenerate electron plasma," presents a detailed examination of Friedel oscillations within a degenerate ideal electron plasma. The study, submitted on May 5, 2023, and revised on September 3, 2024, employs a lesser-known theorem regarding the asymptotic behavior of the Fourier transform of generalized functions with singularities. This work contributes to the understanding of electron interactions in plasma environments, which are critical in various fields, including condensed matter physics and astrophysics. The findings could have implications for the development of advanced materials and technologies that rely on plasma behavior.
