| Abstract: | We study the magneto-thermal instability in ionized plasmas including the effects of Ohmic, ambipolar and Hall diffusion.
The magnetic field in the single-fluid approximation does not allow for transverse thermal condensations; however, non-ideal
effects highly diminish the stabilizing role of the magnetic field in thermally unstable plasmas. Therefore, the enhanced
growth rate of thermal condensation modes in the presence of the diffusion mechanisms speed up the rate of structure formation. |
