TL;DR: The first Charged-Particle Transport Coefficient Code Comparison Workshop as mentioned in this paper was held in 2016 and participants from eight institutions and four countries gathered to compare calculations of transport coefficients including thermal and electrical conduction, electron-ion coupling, inter-ion diffusion, ion viscosity, and charged particle stopping powers.

TL;DR: The electron-ion relaxation process in warm dense hydrogen is investigated here by nonequilibrium molecular dynamics using the constrained electron force field (CEFF) method, which predicts temperature relaxation times as much as three times longer than prior molecular dynamics results based on quantum statistical potentials.

TL;DR: The first Charged-Particle Transport Coefficient Code Comparison Workshop was held in Albuquerque, NM in 2016 as discussed by the authors, where the authors compared calculations of transport coefficients including thermal and electrical conduction, electron-ion coupling, inter-ion diffusion, ion viscosity, and charged particle stopping powers.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of ion-electron coupled movements, which is lost in the static method such as density functional theory based Kubo-Greenwood framework, and found that the ionic dynamics which contributes to the dynamical electrical microfield and electron-ion collisions, will reduce the conductivity significantly compared with the fixed ion configuration calculations.

TL;DR: In this article, a truncated Coulomb interaction was introduced to avoid Coulomb catastrophe by choosing an appropriate cutting radius, and the effect of the interaction between ions and electrons on the temperature relaxation process was investigated in the strong collision region.
