Title: Ab Initio Determination of Thermal Conductivity of Dense Hydrogen Plasmas

Journal Article · · Physical Review Letters

Ab initio molecular dynamics is used to compute the thermal conductivity of hydrogen at 80 g cm{sup -3} and temperature up to 800 eV. Pressures and ionic structure are compared with orbital-free calculations. Thermal conductivity is evaluated using the Kubo-Greenwood formula and is compared with models currently used in hydrodynamical simulations of inertial confinement fusion.
