ABSTRACT
The electron kinetic coefficients of a dense low-temperature plasma include the electrical conductivity, thermoelectric power, electron thermal conductivity and electric thermal coefficient; the last one can be found from the first two using the Onsager relations (chapter 6). Electron kinetic coefficients for a plasma composed of different elements with strong Coulomb interaction, especially electrical conductivity, are relatively well studied experimentally. The presence of experimental information and, also, the relative simplicity of the theoretical analysis of electron kinetic coefficients permits one to use results of such an analysis in investigations of all transport processes in a plasma with strong Coulomb coupling. The model is formulated in § 13 for the determination of electron kinetic coefficients. The influence of excited atoms on dense plasma electron kinetic coefficients is considered in §14. The contribution of "ion core" and other non-Coulomb effects on the electrical conductivity of a plasma are discussed in §15. The paragraph 16 is devoted to calculation
of the braking absorption of electrons in a dense low-temperature plasma taking non-Coulomb factors into account.
