Nonideal Mixing Effects in Warm Dense Matter Studied with First-Principles Computer Simulations
Burkhard Militzer, Felipe Gonzalez-Cataldo, Shuai Zhang +3
We study nonideal mixing effects in the regime of warm dense matter (WDM) by computing the shock Hugoniot curves of BN, MgO, and MgSiO_3. First, we derive these curves from the equ…
Benchmarking boron carbide equation of state using computation and experiment
Shuai Zhang, Michelle C. Marshall, Lin H. Yang +13
Boron carbide (BC) is of both fundamental scientific and practical interest in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and high energy density physics experiments. We report the resu…
Comparison of ablators for the polar direct drive exploding pusher platform
Heather D. Whitley, G. Elijah Kemp, Charles Yeamans +36
We examine the performance of pure boron, boron carbide, high density carbon, and boron nitride ablators in the polar direct drive exploding pusher (PDXP) platform. The platform us…
Simultaneous compression and opacity data from time-series radiography with a Lagrangian marker
Damian C. Swift, Andrea L. Kritcher, James A. Hawreliak +12
Time-resolved radiography can be used to obtain absolute shock Hugoniot states by simultaneously measuring at least two mechanical parameters of the shock, and this technique is pa…
Phase transformation in boron under shock compression
Shuai Zhang, Heather D. Whitley, Tadashi Ogitsu
Using first-principles molecular dynamics, we calculated the equation of state and shock Hugoniot of various boron phases. We find a large mismatch between Hugoniots based on exist…
