X-ray thermal diffuse scattering as a texture-robust temperature diagnostic for dynamically compressed solids

P. G. Heighway, D. J. Peake, T. Stevens +119

We present a model of x-ray thermal diffuse scattering (TDS) from a cubic polycrystal with an arbitrary crystallographic texture, based on the classic approach of Warren. We compar…

Femtosecond temperature measurements of laser-shocked copper deduced from the intensity of the x-ray thermal diffuse scattering

J. S. Wark, D. J. Peake, T. Stevens +122

We present 50-fs, single-shot measurements of the x-ray thermal diffuse scattering (TDS) from copper foils that have been shocked via nanosecond laser-ablation up to pressures abov…

Chemical potential of the warm dense electron gas from ab initio path integral Monte Carlo simulations

Tobias Dornheim, Michael Bonitz, Zhandos Moldabekov +3

We present extensive new \emph{ab initio} path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) simulation results for the chemical potential of the warm dense uniform electron gas (UEG), spanning a br…

Plasma screening in mid-charged ions observed by K-shell line emission

M. Šmıd, O. Humphries, C. Baehtz +24

Dense plasma environment affects the electronic structure of ions via variations of the microscopic electrical fields, also known as plasma screening. This effect can be either est…

Reconciling ionization energies and band gaps of warm dense matter derived with ab initio simulations and average atom models

G. Massacrier, M. Böhme, J. Vorberger +2

Average atom (AA) models allow one to efficiently compute electronic and optical properties of materials over a wide range of conditions and are often employed to interpret experim…

Using Diffuse Scattering to Observe X-Ray-Driven Nonthermal Melting

N. J. Hartley, J. Grenzer, L. Huang +20

We present results from the SPring-8 Angstrom Compact free electron LAser (SACLA) XFEL facility, using a high intensity (W/cm) X-ray pump X-ray probe scheme to…
