We report a theoretical equation of state (EOS) table for boron across a wide range of temperatures (5.1$\times$10$^4$-5.2$\times$10$^8$ K) and densities (0.25-49 g/cm$^3$), and experimental shock Hugoniot data at unprecedented high…
The principal Hugoniot of carbon, initially diamond, was measured from 3 to 80 TPa (30 to 800 million atmospheres), the highest pressure ever achieved, using radiography of spherically-converging shocks. The shocks were generated by…
The D'yakov-Kontorovich stability criterion for spontaneous emission of acoustic waves behind shock fronts is investigated for high-temperature carbon, aluminum, silicon and niobium plasmas. The D'yakov and critical stability parameters are…
We use path integral Monte Carlo and density functional molecular dynamics to construct a coherent set of equation of state for a series of hydrocarbon materials with various C:H ratios (2:1, 1:1, 2:3, 1:2, and 1:4) over the range of…
As one of the simple alkali metals, sodium has been of fundamental interest for shock physics experiments, but knowledge of its equation of state (EOS) in hot, dense regimes is not well known. By combining path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC)…
In this work UV and white light (WL) coronagraphic data are combined to derive the full set of plasma physical parameters along the front of a shock driven by a Coronal Mass Ejection. Pre-shock plasma density, shock compression ratio, speed…
We present an equation of state and radiative opacities for a strongly magnetized hydrogen plasma at magnetic fields B, temperatures T, and densities \rho typical for atmospheres of isolated neutron stars. The first- and second-order…
The equation of state and the shock Hugoniot of deuterium are calculated using a first-principles approach, for the conditions of the recent shock experiments. We use density functional theory within a classical mapping of the quantum…
Using path integral Monte Carlo and density functional molecular dynamics (DFT-MD) simulations, we study the properties of MgSiO$_3$ enstatite in the regime of warm dense matter. We generate a consistent equation of state (EOS) that spans…
The results of calculations of thermodynamic properties of aluminum under shock compression in the framework of the Thomas--Fermi model, the Thomas--Fermi model with quantum and exchange corrections and the Hartree--Fock--Slater model are…
In our previous works (Kataoka et al. 2013, Tahara et al. 2015), we found absorbed thermal X-ray plasma with kT ~ 0.3 keV observed ubiquitously near the edges of the Fermi bubbles and interpreted this emission as weakly shock-heated…
Using first-principles molecular dynamics, we calculated the equation of state and shock Hugoniot of various boron phases. We find a large mismatch between Hugoniots based on existing knowledge of the equilibrium phase diagram and those…
We study partially ionized hydrogen plasma at temperatures T = 10^{5.5}-10^{6.5} K and magnetic fields B = 10^{12}-10^{13} G, typical of photospheres of isolated neutron stars. We construct an analytic model of the plasma free energy and…
The broadening of lines by Stark effect is widely used for inferring electron density and temperature in plasmas. Stark-effect calculations often rely on atomic data (transition rates, energy levels,...) not always exhaustive and/or valid…
The average-atom model is applied to study Thomson scattering of x-rays from warm-dense matter with emphasis on scattering by bound electrons. Parameters needed to evaluate the dynamic structure function (chemical potential, average ionic…
Time-resolved radiography can be used to obtain absolute shock Hugoniot states by simultaneously measuring at least two mechanical parameters of the shock, and this technique is particularly suitable for one-dimensional converging shocks…
Using two first-principles computer simulation techniques, path integral Monte-Carlo and density functional theory molecular dynamics, we derive the equation of state of magnesium in the regime of warm dense matter, with densities ranging…
Quantum molecular dynamic simulations have been employed to study the equation of state (EOS) of fluid helium under shock compressions. The principal Hugoniot is determined from EOS, where corrections from atomic ionization are added onto…
The principal Hugoniot for liquid hydrogen was obtained up to 55 GPa under laser-driven shock loading. Pressure and density of compressed hydrogen were determined by impedance-matching to a quartz standard. The shock temperature was…
There is observational evidence that central compact objects (CCOs) in supernova remnants have moderately strong magnetic fields $B\sim10^{11}$ G. Meanwhile, available models of partially ionized hydrogen atmospheres of neutron stars with…
