Kinetic theory of electrical conductivity in plasmas

· Phys. Rev., A; (United States)
A recently developed quantum kinetic theory for time-correlation functions is applied to the calculation of the electrical conductivity in dense, strongly coupled plasmas. In the weak-collision limit the theory generalizes the Ziman expression to finite temperatures while, for strong collisions, it generalizes the result of Gould and of Williams and DeWitt to include strong ion coupling. Numerical results which compare the effects that strong ion coupling, bound (core) electrons, and strong collisions have upon the collision frequency are also presented.
