Theoretical Calculations of Electrical Conductivity In Hydrogen-like Plasma

In this work we calculated electrical resistivity and conductivity for hydrogen like plasma using Ziman like formula. The calculations were carried out for selected values of temperature within the range 103 T 107and coupling constant 0.05 Γ 43.4 which covers a wide range of plasmas that exist in astrophysics , nuclear fusion and some other physical situations. The calculations depend on previous derivation of the ion-ion static structure factor, effective interaction potential and screening functions, these derivation depends on numerically solving the HNC integral equation with suitable choice of potential and screening or numerical fitting proposed in literature. The theoretical calculation results of this work were compared with other theoretical methods, quantum molecular dynamics simulation and experimental values when available. All results showed reasonable agreement with experimental and theoretical values, which makes us conclude that methods used in this work suitable for use in further studies and in building numerical and theoretical models for plasma for wide variety of situations and applications.
