Tensor Transport Properties
If a strong DC magnetic field is present then the electron mobility can be a tensor:
where the inverse of the mobility has been used because the actual expression for the electron mobility cannot be written in a compact form. The quantity μdc is the electron mobility in the absence of a magnetic field. The electron diffusivity, energy mobility, and energy diffusivity are then calculated using:
These equations are exact for a Maxwellian EEDF, a constant momentum transfer frequency and a constant kinetic pressure.
