Abstract
The magnetic electron-drift vortex mode in a magnetized plasma is investigated using the Braginskii transport equations for the electrons. In a sufficiently inhomogeneous external magnetic field, the mode can become unstable, causing enhanced local magnetic fluctuations. The latter give rise to an anomalous electron thermal flux that significantly affects the transport characteristics of the plasma. Using the conventional quasilinear approach, the corresponding anomalous thermal conductivity is obtained.
