A Model of Electron Transport in Dense Plasmas Spanning Temperature Regimes
Nathaniel R. Shaffer,
Charles E. Starrett
Abstract:We present a new model of electron transport in warm and hot dense plasmas which combines the quantum Landau-Fökker-Planck equation with the concept of mean-force scattering. We obtain electrical and thermal conductivities across several orders of magnitude in temperature, from warm dense matter conditions to hot, nondegenerate plasma conditions, including the challenging crossover regime between the two. The small-angle approximation characteristic of Fökker-Planck collision theories is mitigated to good effe… Show more
