We investigate the emergence of electronic excitations from the inhomogeneous electronic
structure at warm dense matter parameters based on first-principles calculations. The …

High-power, short-pulse laser-driven fast electrons can rapidly heat and ionize a high-
density target before it hydrodynamically expands. The transport of such electrons within a …

We predict the emergence of novel collective electronic excitations in warm dense matter
with an inhomogeneous electronic structure based on first-principles calculations. The …

With the application of high pressure, volume/atom can be reduced to a small fraction of its
initial value. Such high compressions lead to drastic changes in the physical properties of …

In this technical report, we investigate the hard x-ray background produced at the Matter in
Extreme Conditions (MEC) instrument of the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) from the …
