Transport coefficients for an equal-mass plasma in a uniform magnetic field
Abstract
Cross-field transport coefficients for the electric current and heat flux have been calculated for an equal-mass plasma for various values of the Hall parameter Ωr in the range Ωr ≥ 1. Coefficients have also been calculated for parallel transport. These have been obtained using the linearized Fokker-Planck equations for both particle species, taking advantage of the mass symmetry, which leads to remarkable cancellations in the collision terms.
