Abstract
The electrical conductivity of shock-ionized argon has been measured at temperatures between 6000 °K and 13,000 °K and electron number densities in the range 1016 to 1018 cm−3. The results are compared with theoretically computed values and show sufficient agreement to be plotted on a linear scale. The experimental technique is based on the measurement of voltages generated in a search coil by the flux from currents induced in a plasma moving rapidly through a magnetic field.Keywords
