The electrical conductivity of SF6-Cu and Ar-Cu plasmas has been calculated by using new values of the cross section of the electron-copper momentum transfer. The comparison between the new values of the electrical conductivity and the previous ones, in the temperature range 2500-15000 K, shows the actual influence of copper vapour on this transport coefficient and allows quantification of the errors made with the various approximations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
