When being compressed by a single shock, most materials show a maximum compression
ratio beyond the ideal-gas limit of four. In most cases, this phenomenon has long been …

The effect of ionic disorder on the principal Hugoniot is investigated using multiple scattering
theory to very high pressure (Gbar). Calculations using molecular dynamics to simulate ionic …

Hydrodynamic flow of materials, initiated by shock waves, is determined by their equation of
state (EOS). For comparatively weak shocks, the zero-temperature isotherm and thermal …

We use a self-consistent model combining the Quotidian Equation Of State and a
nonrelativistic screened-hydrogenic model with ℓ-splitting to study the thermodynamic …

All-electron path integral Monte Carlo (PIMC) and density functional theory molecular
dynamics (DFT-MD) simulations provide a consistent, first-principles investigation of warm …

Rankine–Hugoniot shock adiabats are calculated in the pressure range 1Mbar to 10Gbar
with two atomic-structure models: the atom in a spherical cell and the atom in a jellium of …

It is now well known that solids under ultra-high-pressure shock compression will enter the
warm dense matter (WDM) regime which connects condensed matter and hot plasma. How …

We analyze the influence of shell effects on thermodynamic properties of matter at high
pressures. Spherically symmetric average atom models show significant contribution of …

Laboratory measurements of the shock Hugoniot at high pressure, exceeding several
hundred Mbar, are of great importance in the understanding and accurate modeling of …

We present the analytic form of the principal Hugoniot at all pressures. It is constructed by
interpolating smoothly between three pressure (P) regimes. Specifically,(i) the low-P regime …
