Multiple Scattering Theory for Dense Plasmas (2008.11616v1)

Published 26 Aug 2020 in physics.comp-ph and physics.plasm-ph

Abstract: Dense plasmas occur in stars, giant planets and in inertial fusion experiments. Accurate modeling of the electronic structure of these plasmas allows for prediction of material properties that can in turn be used to simulate these astrophysical objects and terrestrial experiments. But modeling them remains a challenge. Here we explore the Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker Green's function (KKR-GF) method for this purpose. We find that it is able to predict equation of state in good agreement with other state of the art methods, where they are accurate and viable. In addition, it is shown that the computational cost does not significantly change with temperature, in contrast with other approaches. Moreover, the method does not use pseudopotentials - core states are calculated self consistently. We conclude that KKR-GF is a very promising method for dense plasma simulation.
