Transport Coefficients in Dense Plasmas Including Ion-Ion Structure Factor

Within linear response theory, a general approach to the thermoelectric transport coefficients for fully ionized hydrogen-type plasma has been given. Different approximations for the collision integral are considered. Particular attention is given to dynamical screening and the ion-ion structure factor. Results are presented for the electrical conductivity, the thermal conductivity, and the thermopower in the non-degenerate limit. (C) 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
