Abstract

Warm dense matter plasmas can be produced by high-energy optical or free-electron X-ray lasers, Z-pinch X-ray sources, and nuclear detonations. These plasmas are the basis of inertial confinement fusion efforts at National Ignition Facility. The ab initio quantum modeling of warm dense aluminum (Al) plasmas is performed. We present several images of electronic charge density taken from investigations of structural optimization of Al atoms in warm dense plasma.
