Condensed Presentation of Transport Coefficients in a Fully Ionized Plasma

Abstract

A presentation of transport coefficients in a fully ionized plasma in terms of effective collision, gyration, and oscillation frequencies is given. It has the virtue of reducing the task of presenting the data to the tabulation of certain dimensionless functions of restricted variation. Moreover the quantities involved are directly related to the reciprocals of the coefficients usually considered, for instance to the resistivity rather than the conductivity.
