List of symbols
The following is a list of symbols which appear in the text beyond the location of
their definition or first introduction and indicates the page on which this may be
found. Some of these symbols also appear with subscript e(i) indicating electron
(ion) equivalents. Likewise, symbols with subscript () indicate the component
parallel (perpendicular) to the magnetic field.
