We develop a first-principles approach to calculate the near-edge absorption spectrum of
dense plasmas based on density functional electronic structure calculations and molecular …

Achieving ultrahigh shock pressures is straightforward. Determining the state achieved in a
Hugoniot experiment or in some other experiment on the Hugoniot to measure a physical …

The nature of the continuous transition from condensed matter to dense plasma remains an
outstanding and interesting issue in high-pressure physics. One systematic way to address …

Many materials show differing responses to weak than to strong shock waves. This study
looks at the threshold in behavior that occurs between these two regimes and offers a …

The Hugoniot equations of state for shock compressed Cu, Ta, and Mo are calculated at
pressures up to 4 TPa and then up to 10 TPa are obtained by extrapolation. The calculations …

Current equation of state (EOS) models for xenon show substantial differences in the
Hugoniot above 100 GPa, prompting the need for an improved understanding of xenon's …

We have simulated the shock Hugoniot of copper and uranium based on the results of first
principles electronic structure calculations. The room temperature isotherm has been …

We present a detailed comparison of two self‐consistent equation‐of‐state models which
differ from their electronic contribution: the atom in a spherical cell and the atom in a jellium …

In contrast to the single shock compression state that can be obtained directly via
experimental measurements, the multi-shock compression states, however, have to be …

Studies for understanding response of materials under dynamic compression that creates
extreme conditions of pressure, temperature, and strain rates are challenging and very …
