For better understanding of the regimes of thermal and non-thermal ionisation, the radial and vertical profiles of (a) ionisation fraction, xe; (b) the contribution of OD, ηO; (c) the contribution of AD, ηA; and (d) the combined resistivity, η(r, z) = ηO(r, z)+ηA(r, z), are plotted for our reference model, which is explained in Sect. 3.1 (cf. Table 2). The dashed gray lines in (a)–(d) correspond to specific heights above the disk midplane (z = 0, z = Hp,
,
, and z = zB). In (e) the combined resistivity is plotted for those specific heights, as well as the resulting vertically averaged resistivity
(thick blue line). For comparison the turbulent resistivity, ηt, corresponding to a Prandtl number of 1 is also plotted, showing that
almost everywhere except for the very inner region.
