Zur allgemeinen kinetischen Theorie von partiell ionisierten Plasmen in zeitabhängigen Magnetfeldern und elektromagnetischen Zusatzfeldern

AbstractA general method is given for the calculation of the electron distribution function of a weakly ionized plasma in external time‐dependent magnetic fields and additional electromagnetic fields. The Boltzmann equation of kinetic theory is solved taking into account elastic collisions between electrons and neutrals. The isotropic part f0 of the distribution function follows from a general linear integro‐differential equation and contains all known standard distributions (Druyvesteyn, Davydov, Margenau and others) as special cases. The direction‐dependent part f1 gives the transport tensors.
