with λ ≡ E H Z 2 /kT and E H the Rydberg energy (13.6 eV). Note that this equation<br />
only holds for hydrogen-like ions. For other ions usually an analytical fit to numerical<br />
calculations is used:<br />
α RR ∼ T −η (3.53)<br />
where the approximation is strictly speaking only valid for T near the equilibrium<br />
concentration. The approximations (3.50) and (3.51) raise suspicion that for T → 0<br />
or T → ∞ (3.53) could be a poor choice.<br />
