Description of the Book:

The electrical conductivity of nonideal classical and quantum plasmas is calculated by means of dimensional analysis, kinetic theory, and quantum field theoretical methods. The new conductivity formulas are compared with recent experimental conductivity data for nonideal alkali plasmas. A theory of the electric microfield distribution in thermal plasmas and the anomalous microfield driven diffusion of charged particles across magnetic fields is presented, which is applicable only to ideal and weakly nonideal plasmas. By means of Bose statistics, the free energy of the random, thermally excited (longitudinal) electron and ion waves (collective many-body interactions) is calculated, and their quantitative relation to the free energy of nonideal plasmas is discussed
