Description
The electrical conductivity of warm, dense aluminum plasmas and liquids is calculated using ab initio molecular dynamics and the Kubo-Greenwood formula. The density range extends from near solid to one-hundredth of solid density, and the temperature range extends from 6000 K to 30,000 K. This density and temperature range allows direct comparison with experimental results obtained with the tamped exploding wire technique
