Abstract
We derive diffusive currents in strongly coupled Coulomb ion mixtures in dense stellar matter. Coulomb coupling in the presence of gravity and electric fields, induced by gravity owing to plasma polarization, creates a specific diffusion current which separates ions with the same A/Z (mass to charge number ratios) but different Z. This Coulomb separation can be important in white dwarfs and neutron stars.
