The electron transport coefficients of boron and silicon plasma

Abstract

The conductivity, thermal conductivity and thermal power of Silicon and Boron plasma have been calculated within the relaxation time approximation. The plasma composition has been obtained by means of correspond-ing system of coupled mass action laws. We have considered the atom ionization up to +4. The results of our simulations are in good agreement with recent measurement data at T ≥ 10 kK. © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
