Abstract

This paper covers calculation of radial distribution functions, specific energy and static electrical conductivity of CH2_2 plasma in the two-temperature regime. The calculation is based on the quantum molecular dynamics, density functional theory and the Kubo-Greenwood formula. The properties are computed at 5 kK \le TiT_i \le TeT_e \le 40 kK and \rho = 0.954 g/cm3^3 and depend severely on the presence of chemical bonds in the system. Chemical compounds exist at the lowest temperature TiT_i = TeT_e = 5 kK considered; they are destroyed rapidly at the growth of TiT_i and slower at the increase of TeT_e. A significant number of bonds are present in the system at 5 kK \le TiT_i \le TeT_e \le 10 kK. The destruction of bonds correlates with the growth of specific energy and static electrical conductivity under these conditions.
