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)?
