Title: Observations of non-linear plasmon damping in dense plasmas

Abstract

Here, we present simulations using finite-temperature density-functional-theory molecular-dynamics to calculate dynamic dielectric properties in warm dense aluminum. The comparison between exchange-correlation functionals in the Perdew, Burke, Ernzerhof approximation, Strongly Constrained and Appropriately Normed Semilocal Density Functional, and Heyd, Scuseria, Ernzerhof (HSE) approximation indicates evident differences in the electron transition energies, dc conductivity, and Lorenz number. The HSE calculations show excellent agreement with x-ray scattering data as well as dc conductivity and absorption measurements. These findings demonstrate non-Drude behavior of the dynamic conductivity above the Cooper minimum that needs to be taken into account to determine optical properties in the warm dense matter regime.

FIG. 1. FIG. 1. : Calculated dynamic electrical conductivity showing the influence of the XC functional in DFT-MD simulations. Calculations are performed for solid density aluminum at a temperature of $T$ = 0.5 eV. For small energies, the conductivity agrees with the Drude model62 (dotted lines). For hω > 21 eV, themore » non-Drude-like behavior of aluminum becomes significant.10 For energies hω > Δ$E$2p-free, bound free transitions from the 2p electrons are observed. For energies hω > Δ$E$2s-free, transitions from the 2s state to the continuum (dashed line in the inset) contribute to the total dynamic conductivity (solid line); ionization energies from PBE are indicated with black dashed lines. We compare to the dynamic conductivity from an average atom (AA) model63 (green line).« less
