Thermodynamics of a correlated confined plasma II. Mesoscopic system

Finite systems of charge carriers con.ned by a harmonic trap are considered. The onion shell model for Coulomb clusters is analyzed and an improved model is proposed which is able to more accurately reproduce the results of numerical experiments. The ground state energy is determined, and the transition to an infinite system is discussed.
