Reduced Ionic Diffusion by the Dynamic Electron-Ion Collisions in Warm Dense Hydrogen

The dynamic electron-ion collisions play an important rolein determining the static and transport properties of warmdense matter (WDM). Electron force field (eFF) method is applied to study the ionic transport properties of warm densehydrogen. Compared with the results from quantum moleculardynamics and orbital-free molecular dynamics, the ionicdiffusions are largely reduced by involving the dynamic collisions of electrons and ions. This physics is verified by quantum Langevin molecular dynamics (QLMD) simulations, which includes electron-ion collisions induced friction(EI-CIF) into the dynamic equation of ions. Based on these new results, we proposed a model including the correctionof collisions induced friction of the ionic diffusion. The CIF model has been verified to be valid at a wide range ofdensity and temperature. We also compare the results with the Yukawa one component plasma (YOCP) model andEffective OCP (EOCP) model. We proposed to calculate the self-diffusion coefficients using the EOCP model modifiedby the CIF model to introduce the dynamic electron-ion collisions effect.
