TL;DR: A unified first principles description from condensed matter to ideal ionized gas plasma is constructed, which covers a full range of WDM up to high energy density physics.

TL;DR: The structure and vibrational spectra of (H(2)O)(n) (n=2-5) clusters have been studied and show that water molecules in cluster are bound more tightly and there are significant broadenings of the spectra with temperature caused by thermal motions.

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: In this paper, a theoretical formalism is developed to study the wavefunctions of the continuum electrons that take into consideration the quantum de-coherence caused by coupling with the plasma environment.
