Ablation of metal targets by Ti: sapphire laser radiation is studied. The ablation depth per
pulse is measured for laser pulse durations between 150 fs and 30 ps and fluences ranging …

We report direct measurement of hot-electron temperatures and relaxation dynamics for
peak electron temperatures between 3400 and 11 000 K utilizing two-pulse-correlation …

The interaction of ultrashort subpicosecond laser pulses with initially cold and solid matter is
investigated in a wide intensity range (10 11 to 10 17 W/cm 2) by means of the …

Plasma physics is an integral part of statistical physics, complete with its own basic theories.
Designed as a two-volume set, Statistical Plasma Physics is intended for advanced …

The effects of an explicit temperature dependence in the exchange correlation (XC) free-
energy functional upon calculated properties of matter in the warm dense regime are …

We present the results of the first Charged-Particle Transport Coefficient Code Comparison
Workshop, which was held in Albuquerque, NM October 4–6, 2016. In this first workshop …

A systematic approach to the optical conductivity is given within a dielectric function
formalism. The response function as well as the dynamical local-field factor G (k→, ω) of an …

An opacity model (OPAS) combining detailed configuration and level accounting treatments
has been developed to calculate radiative opacity of plasmas in local thermodynamic …

A first principles approach to the equation of state (EOS) and the transport properties of an
interacting mixture of electrons, ions, and neutrals in thermodynamic equilibrium was …

We report on recent developments with the Purgatorio code, a new implementation of
Liberman's Inferno model. This fully relativistic average atom code uses phase shift tracking …
