Improved Kelbg Potentials for and Application to Carbon Plasmas
Heather D. Whitley, Michael S. Murillo, John I. Castor +5
In this work, we present a general form for the electron-ion diffractive potential derived from the quantum pair density matrix and fit to the improved Kelbg potential for atomic n…

Quantum Kinetic Modeling of KEEN waves in a Warm-Dense Regime
F. Alejandro Padilla-Gomez, Sining Gong, Michael S. Murillo +2
We report a fully kinetic, quantum study of Kinetic Electrostatic Electron Nonlinear (KEEN) waves, showing that quantum diffraction systematically erodes the classical trapping mec…
