Electromagnetic-wave propagation in a weakly ionized plasma — II

Пропагатор злектромагнитных волн в слабо иониэованной плаэме.- II

Il Nuovo Cimento B (1965-1970)

Summary

A general formula for the high-frequency conductivity of a partially ionized plasma is evaluated. This result embodies, in suitable limiting cases, the well-known expressions of the conductivity for a Lorentz plasma and for a fully ionized plasma. With the aid of this formula we have established the range of validity of the usual expression of the conductivity of a Lorentz plasma.

Riassunto

Si calcola una formula generale per la conduttività alle alte frequenze di un plasma parzialmente ionizzato. Il risultato ottenuto contiene, in opportuni casi limite, le note espressioni della conduttività per i plasmi di Lorentz e per i plasmi completamente ionizzati. Tramite tale formula si stabilisce il campo di validità dell’espressione usuale della conduttività di un plasma di Lorentz.

Реэюме

Оценивается обшая формула для проводимости частично иониэованной плаэмы при больщих частотах. Этот реэультат включает, в соответствуюших предельных случаях, хорощо иэвестные выражения проводимости для Лоренцевской плаэмы и полностью иониэеванной плаэмы. С помошью зтой формулы мы устанавливаем область применимоси обычного выражения для проводимости Лорентцевской плаэмы.
