Transport Regimes Spanning Magnetization-Coupling Phase Space

Understand

The manner in which transport properties vary over the entire parameter-space of coupling and magnetization strength is explored for the first time.

• Four regimes are identified based on the relative size of the gyroradius compared to other fundamental length scales: the collision mean free path, Debye length, distance of closest approach and interparticle spacing.
• Molecular dynamics simulations of self-diffusion and temperature anisotropy relaxation spanning the parameter space are found to agree well with the predicted boundaries.
• Comparison with existing theories reveals regimes where they succeed, where they fail, and where no theory has yet been developed.
