Abstract

We study the diffusion of charged particles in the weakly ionized plasma with the power-law kappa-distributions and without magnetic field. The electrons and ions have different kappa-parameters. We obtain the expressions of both diffusion and mobility coefficients of electrons and ions respectively in the plasma. We find that these new transport coefficient formulae depend strongly on the kappa-parameters in the power-law distributed plasma. When we take kappa to be infinite, these formulae reduce to the classical forms in the weakly ionized plasma with a Maxwellian distribution.
