Diffusion and heat conductivity in the weakly ionized plasma with power-law q-distributions in nonextensive statistics

18 Mar 2019  ·  Ji Xiaoxue, Du Jiulin ·

We study the diffusion and thermal conductivity of charged particles in the weakly ionized plasma with the power-law q-distributions in nonextensive statistics and without the magnetic field. Electrons and ions have different q-parameters and temperature. We derive new expressions of the diffusion, thermal diffusion, thermal conductivity and thermoelectric coefficients of electrons and ions respectively in the plasma. It is shown that these transport coefficients depend significantly on the q-parameters in the power-law q-distributed plasma and thus they have different properties from those derived in the traditional statistics with a Maxwellian distribution.
