The contribution of the charged components to the thermodynamic functions is analysed on the basis of the present theoretical knowledge. In the high‐temperature low‐density limit the Debye formula with quantum corrections is used. In the low‐temperature high‐density limit the Gellman‐Brueckner formula for the electrons and a lattice‐energy formula for the protons is used. Padée‐approximants are constructed which contain these limiting situations as special cases and describe also the region between them in certain aproximation.
