Description

New conductivity formulas are derived for nonideal classical plasmas, completely degenerate plasmas, and nonideal quantum plasmas. The formulas may be used to interpret conductivity measurements on nonideal plasmas. Once the still-undetermined powers N, A, and B are known empirically, it should be possible to develop a conductivity theory for nonideal plasmas that provides an explanation of the dimensionless interaction parameter and quantum mechanical interaction parameter dependence from microscopic principles
