Unified derivation of laser energy deposition coefficient, electron thermal conduction coefficient and resistivity in plasma

The laser energy deposition coefficient, the electron thermal conduction coefficient, and the resistivity are three important physical quantities in plasma physics. For a multi-ion-component plasma, considering only the collisional interaction between electrons and ions, starting from the kinetic equation in the Fokker-Planck approximation, and using multi-timescale method, a unified derivation of the laser energy deposition coefficient, electron thermal conduction coefficient, and resistivity in the plasma is presented.
