Q: What is the quantum mechanical expression for resistivity of Plasma?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Are you talking about the inverse of Hall conductivity?

I know that the Hall parameter β beta in a plasma is the ratio between the electron gyrofrequency Ωe and the electron-heavy particle collision frequency ν:

β beta = Omega_e / nu = e * B / (m_e nu)

where

e is the electron charge (1.6 × 10-19 coulomb)
B is the magnetic field (in teslas)
m_e is the electron mass (0.9 × 10-30 kg).

Does that help?
 
I want to know the expression of Ohm's law at the level of quantum mechanics, ie. in expression of resistivity of Plasma there must be a h (Plank constant).
What will be the expression of row ( resistivity) of Plasma in terms of h ( Plank constant)?
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
