A Kinetic Model for Electron-Ion Transport in Warm Dense Matter

Understand

We present a model for electron-ion transport in Warm Dense Matter that incorporates Coulomb coupling effects into the quantum Boltzmann equation of Uehling and Uhlenbeck through the use of a statistical potential of mean force.

• Although this model has been derived rigorously in the classical limit [S.D.
• Baalrud and J.
• Daligault, Physics of Plasmas 26, 8, 082106 (2019)], its quantum generalization is complicated by the uncertainty principle.
