Abstract

AbstractA Lorentz plasma is considered. Within generalized linear response theory, the electrical conductivity is calculated for arbitrary degeneracy including higher orders of interactions (strong collisions, T matrix). The important quantity for the calculation of transport properties is the transport cross section. Assuming statically screened interaction, a fit formula for the electron – ion transport cross section is proposed which is valid for densities up to warm dense matter (WDM). This formula coincides with analytically known limits and reduces the high numerical effort of T matrix calculations at low densities and high temperatures. The plasma parameter regions are given where a Born approximation should be improved considering a T matrix approach. (© 2016 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
