Extract

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.
