Electrical Conductivity of High Pressure Ionized Argon

Abstract
In order to investigate some properties of a medium with a low number of particles in a Debye sphere, the electrical conductivity of high-pressure ionized Argon has been measured. A special emphasis is laid on the so-called "non-ideality" effects in the collective behaviour of charged particles. A kind of threshold for these effects is observed at nD ≦ 4. The observed asymptotic behaviour of the screening parameter indicates that heavy charged particles have the same influence on the screening mechanism as electrons. The experimental values of the electrical conductivity are in excellent agreement with similar recent measurements.
