Motivated by the current high interest in the field of warm dense matter research, in this
article we review the uniform electron gas (UEG) at finite temperature and over a broad …

Uranus and Neptune form a distinct class of planets in our Solar System. Given this fact, and
ubiquity of similar-mass planets in other planetary systems, it is essential to understand their …

We put together a first-principles equation of state (FPEOS) database for matter at extreme
conditions by combining results from path integral Monte Carlo and density functional …

The accurate description of electrons at extreme density and temperature is of paramount
importance for, eg, the understanding of astrophysical objects and inertial confinement …

Sub-Neptune exoplanets are commonly hypothesized to consist of a silicate-rich magma
ocean topped by a hydrogen-rich atmosphere. Previous work studying the outgassing of …

During their formation, planets form large, hot atmospheres due to the ongoing accretion of
solids. It has been customary to assume that all solids end up at the center, constituting a …

Recent structure models of Jupiter that match Juno gravity data suggest that the planet
harbours an extended region in its deep interior that is enriched with heavy elements: a so …

The study of matter at extreme densities and temperatures as they occur in astrophysical
objects and state-of-the-art experiments with highintensity lasers is of high current interest …

Theoretical studies of giant planet formation suggest that substantial quantities of metals—
elements heavier than hydrogen and helium—can be delivered by solid accretion during the …

In a recent Letter [T. Dornheim, Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 255001 (2018) PRLTAO 0031-9007
10.1103/PhysRevLett. 121.255001] we have presented ab initio results for the dynamic …
