Microphysical properties of dense, strongly coupled, and quantum plasmas

Publications

Our recent publications in dense plasmas and related research.
The objective of our research is to achieve a theoretical understanding of the microscopic properties of dense, strongly coupled plasmas and of their consequences on the macroscopic properties such as transport.
