Zum Einfluß der Energieabhängigkeit der Elektronenstoßfrequenz auf die elektrische Leitfähigkeit schwach ionisierter Plasmen

Abstract

About the Influence of the Energy Dependence of the Electron Collision Frequency on the Electrical Conductivity of Weakly Ionized PlasmasWith regard to experimental applications in plasma diagnostics numerical approximations are given for the Gurevic-type correction functions, which in the kinetic theory of weakly ionized plasmas describe the deviations from the Lorentzian electrical conductivity. The approximations are based either upon the dependance of the collision frequency on the power of the electron velocity, or on a first order Taylor expansion around the most probable electron velocity of a Maxwellian distribution.For all assumptions regarding the velocity dependance of the collision frequency the influence of temperature (and pressure) on the effective collision frequency is indicated.
