Four tensors determining thermal and electric conductivities of degenerate electrons in magnetized plasma

Abstract

A solution to the Boltzmann equation is obtained for a magnetized plasma with strongly degenerate nonrelativistic electrons and nondegenerate nuclei. The components of the diffusion, thermal diffusion and diffusion thermoeffect tensors in a nonquantizing magnetic field are calculated in the Lorentz approximation without allowance for electron-electron collisions, which is asymptotically accurate for plasma with strongly degenerate electrons. Asymptotically accurate analytical expressions for the electron diffusion, thermal diffusion and diffusion thermoeffect tensors in the presence of a magnetic field are obtained for the first time. The expressions reveal a considerably more complicated dependence on magnetic field than analogous dependences derived in the previous publications on this subject.
