Conductivity of Nonideal Fully Ionized Plasma: Comparison of Calculation Results by the Molecular Dynamics Method and Model Approach

Abstract

New calculations of the conductivity of a nonideal fully ionized plasma by the molecular dynamics method are considered. The previous model on the presence of collisional complexes and quasi-bound states in a nonideal, fully ionized plasma is used for their description. The concentrations of quasi-states are calculated, and their effect on conductivity is determined. The numerical and model calculations of the plasma conductivity show satisfactory agreement.
