Pulsed power accelerators compress electrical energy in space and time to provide versatile
experimental platforms for high energy density and inertial confinement fusion science. The …

We have performed density functional theory (DFT) based calculations for aluminum in
extreme conditions of both pressure and temperature, up to five times compressed ambient …

We present shock compression data for deuterium through the molecular-to-atomic
transition along the principal Hugoniot with unprecedented precision, enabling …

We perform first-principles path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) and density functional theory
molecular dynamics (DFT-MD) calculations to explore warm dense matter states of …

Nanosecond in situ x-ray diffraction and simultaneous velocimetry measurements were used
to determine the crystal structure and pressure, respectively, of ramp-compressed aluminum …

The equation of state (EOS) of carbon in its high-pressure solid and liquid phases is of
interest to planetary astrophysics and inertial confinement fusion. Of particular interest are …

Thermal density functional theory calculations often use the Mermin-Kohn-Sham scheme,
but employ ground-state approximations to the exchange-correlation (XC) free energy. In the …

Measurement of the Hugoniot and sound velocity provides information on the bulk modulus
and Grüneisen parameter of a material at extreme conditions. The capability to launch …

In this paper we introduce the wide regime equation of state (WEOS) developed in Institute
of Applied Physics and Computational Mathematics (IAPCM). A semi-empirical model of the …

We present quartz and molybdenum single-shock Hugoniot data to 62 Mbar and 120 Mbar,
respectively. Quartz and molybdenum are attractive standard materials for Hugoniot …
