Electronic thermal conduction in a magnetoplasma with electron number densities of the order of 10/sup 11/ to 10/sup 12/ cm/sup -3/, where Coulomb interactions predominate, has been studied experimentally in neon discharges at a pressure of the order of 5 mm Hg, and magnetic fields up to 1200 Oe. The temperature distribution resulting from a very localized heating of the electron gas by an electromagnetic wave of frequency 7500 Mc/sec has been measured in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field and at variable distances from the heated volume. The experimental results are compared with the predictions of Landshoff. (auth)
