All quantities are in [[Gaussian units|Gaussian]] ([[Centimetre-gram-second system of units|cgs]]) units except [[energy]] and [[temperature]] which are in [[electronvolt]]s. The ion mass is expressed in units of the [[proton]] mass, <math>\mu = m_i/m_p</math> and <math>Z</math> the ion charge in units of the [[elementary charge]] <math>e</math>, <math>Z = q_i/e</math> (in the case of a fully ionized atom, <math>Z</math> equals to the respective [[atomic number]]). The other physical quantities used are the [[Boltzmann constant]] (<math>k</math>), [[speed of light]] (<math>c</math>), and the [[Coulomb logarithm]] (<math>\ln\Lambda</math>).
