//! Class IonGasTransport implements Stockmayer-(n,6,4) model for transport of ions.
/*!
 * As implemented here, only binary transport between netrals and ions is considered
 * for calculating mixture-average diffusion coefficients and mobilities. When
 * polarizability is not provide for an ion, LJ model is used instead of n64 model.
 * Only neutral species are considered for thermal conductivity and viscousity.
