Ab initio simulation results for the dynamic properties of warm dense matter — •Michael Bonitz1, Paul Hamann1, Tobias Dornheim2, and Alexey Filinov1 — 1Institut für Theoretische Physik und Astrophysik, Universität Kiel, Leibnizstr. 15 — 2Center for Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS), Görlitz, Germany
Warm dense matter (WDM) – an exotic state where electrons are quantum degenerate and ions may be strongly correlated – is ubiquitous in astrophysics and highly compressed laboratory plasmas. We have recently obtained ab initio thermodynamic results for the electron component in WDM based on novel quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) simulations [1, 2] including the first ab initio parametrization
of the exchange-correlation free energy F_xc [2, 3]. Moreover, recently the first exact QMC
results for the dynamic local field correction and the dynamic structure factor could be obtained [4]. An interesting result is the prediction of a negative plasmon dispersion – an effect that should be observable in dense hydrogen.
