Effect of magnetic field on transports of charged particles in the weakly ionized plasma with power-law q-distributions in nonextensive statistics

Abstract

By using the generalized Boltzmann equation of transport in nonextensive statistics, we study transport properties of the diffusion flux and the heat flux of charged particles in the weakly ionized plasma with the power-law q-distributions under the magnetic field. We derive the tensor expressions of diffusion coefficient, thermal diffusion coefficient, mobility and thermal conductivity of electrons and ions in the q-distributed plasma with magnetic field. We show that the tensors of the diffusion coefficient, the thermal diffusion coefficient and the thermal conductivity strongly depend on the q-parameters, and so they are generally not the same as those in the magnetized plasma with a Maxwellian distribution.
