Kinetic Theory for Electronic Transport Properties of Warm Dense Matter: Chapman-Enskog Solution of the Uehling-Uhlenbeck Equation
Lucas J. Babati, Nathaniel R. Shaffer, Louis Jose +1
A kinetic theory is developed to describe the electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity, and electrothermal coefficients in warm dense plasmas. It models electron degeneracy us…

Plasma Conductivity from Warm Dense Matter to the Spitzer Limit Using Mean-Force Kinetic Theory
Lucas J. Babati, Nathaniel R. Shaffer, Louis Jose +1
A theoretical model is developed to compute electronic transport coefficients extending from warm and dense to hot and dilute plasma conditions. This kinetic theory-based approach…

Quantum Ornstein-Zernike Theory for Two-Temperature Two-Component Plasmas
Zachary A. Johnson, Nathaniel R. Shaffer, Michael S. Murillo
Laboratory plasma production almost always preferentially heats either the ions or electrons, leading to a two-temperature state. High-fidelity modeling of these systems can be ach…
