Abstract

Recently, warm dense matter has emerged as an interdisciplinary field that draws increasing interest in plasma physics, condensed matter physics, high pressure science, astrophysics, inertial confinement fusion, as well as material science under extreme conditions. To allow the study of well-defined warm dense matter states, we introduced the concept of idealized slab plasma (ISP) that can be realized in the laboratory via (1) the isochoric heating of a solid and (2) the propagation of a shock wave in a solid. The application of this concept provides new means for probing AC conductivity, equation of state, ionization, and opacity. These approaches are presented here using results derived from numerical simulations.
