Lenard-Balescu calculations and classical molecular dynamics simulations of electrical and thermal conductivities of hydrogen plasmas

Journal Article Whitley, Heather D. ; Scullard, Christian R. ; Benedict, Lorin X. ; ... - Contributions to Plasma Physics

Here we present a discussion of kinetic theory treatments of linear electrical and thermal transport in hydrogen plasmas, for a regime of interest to inertial confinement fusion applications. In order to assess the accuracy of one of the more involved of these approaches, classical Lenard-Balescu theory, we perform classical molecular dynamics simulations of hydrogen plasmas using 2-body quantum statistical potentials and compute both electrical and thermal conductivity from our particle trajectories using the Kubo approach. Our classical Lenard-Balescu results employing the identical statistical potentials agree well with the simulations. Comparison between quantum Lenard-Balescu and classical Lenard-Balescu for conductivities then allowsmore »« less

Analytic expressions for electron-ion temperature equilibration rates from the Lenard-Balescu equation

Journal Article Scullard, Christian R. ; Serna, Susana ; Benedict, Lorin X. ; ... - Physical Review E

In this paper, we elucidate the mathematical structure of the integral that arises when computing the electron-ion temperature equilibration time for a homogeneous weakly coupled plasma from the Lenard-Balescu equation. With some minor approximations, we derive an analytic formula, requiring no input Coulomb logarithm, for the equilibration rate that is valid for moderate electron-ion temperature ratios and arbitrary electron degeneracy. Lastly, for large temperature ratios, we derive the necessary correction to account for the coupled-mode effect, which can be evaluated very efficiently using ordinary Gaussian quadrature.

Calculation of electron-ion temperature equilibration rates and friction coefficients in plasmas and liquid metals using quantum molecular dynamics

Journal Article Simoni, Jacopo ; Daligault, Jerome Olivier - Physical Review E

In this work, we discuss a method to calculate with quantum molecular dynamics simulations the rate of energy exchanges between electrons and ions in two-temperature plasmas, liquid metals, and hot solids. Promising results from this method were recently reported for various materials and physical conditions. Like other ab initio calculations, the approach offers a very useful comparison with the experimental measurements and permits an extension into conditions not covered by the experiments. The energy relaxation rate is related to the friction coefficients felt by individual ions due to their nonadiabatic interactions with electrons. Each coefficient satisfies a Kubo relation givenmore »« less

Molecular Dynamics Simulations of Electron-Ion Temperature Equilibration in an SF{sub 6} Plasma

Journal Article Benedict, Lorin X ; Glosli, James N ; Richards, David F ; ... - Physical Review Letters

We use classical molecular dynamics to investigate electron-ion temperature equilibration in a two-temperature SF{sub 6} plasma. We choose a density of 1.0x10{sup 19}SF{sub 6} molecules per cm{sup 3} and initial temperatures of T{sub e}=100 eV and T{sub S}=T{sub F}=15 eV, in accordance with experiments currently underway at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Our computed relaxation time lies between two oft-used variants of the Landau-Spitzer relaxation formula which invoke static screening. Discrepancies are also found when comparing to the predictions made by more recent theoretical approaches. These differences should be large enough to be measured in the upcoming experiments.
