Multiple Scattering Theory for Dense Plasmas

Charles E. Starrett, Nathaniel Shaffer

Dense plasmas occur in stars, giant planets and in inertial fusion experiments. Accurate modeling of the electronic structure of these plasmas allows for prediction of material pro…

New Conductive Opacities for White Dwarf Envelopes

Simon Blouin, Nathaniel R. Shaffer, Didier Saumon +1

Thanks to their continuous cooling and relative simplicity, white dwarf stars are routinely used to measure the ages of stellar populations. The usefulness of white dwarfs as cosmo…

A Model of Electron Transport in Dense Plasmas Spanning Temperature Regimes

Nathaniel R. Shaffer, Charles E. Starrett

We present a new model of electron transport in warm and hot dense plasmas which combines the quantum Landau-Fokker-Planck equation with the concept of mean-force scattering. We ob…

Model for the electrical conductivity in dense plasma mixtures

C. E. Starrett, N. R. Shaffer, D. Saumon +4

A new model for the electrical conductivity of dense plasmas with a mixture of ion species, containing no adjustable parameters, is presented. The model takes the temperature, mass…

Tabular Electrical Conductivity for Aluminum

C. E. Starrett, R. Perriot, N. R. Shaffer +3

A new Sesame-type table for the electrical conductivity of aluminum is described. The table is based on density functional theory calculations and ranges from 0.001 to 1 times soli…

Correlations Between Conduction Electrons in Dense Plasmas

Nathaniel R. Shaffer, Charles E. Starrett

Most treatments of electron-electron correlations in dense plasmas either ignore them entirely (random phase approximation) or neglect the role of ions (jellium approximation). In…
