(color online) (a) Determined η with n_H ranging from 10¹⁸ cm⁻³ to 10²¹ cm⁻³ for evenly selected seven E_def values from 5 eV to 20 eV. Correspondingly calculated (b) S, (c) μ_H, and (d) S²σ as a function of n_H for different E_def values. The bold green lines in panels (b) and (c) are calculated using SKB model with E_def = 8 eV for S and μ_H, respectively.
