Abstract
The paper deals with a special (for two-temperature nonideal plasma) m echanism of energy exchange between electrons and ions that emerges as a result of local rearrangement of an ordered plasma structure during fluctuation of the ion charge Z because of successive ionization and recombination events. It is demonstrated that the rate of energy excha nge contains an additional large factor Z(2) and exceeds the rate of e nergy exchange for elastic collisions.
