Abstract
We present a study in the warm, dense matter regime of transport properties for a ternary mixture of the isotopes of hydrogen at 5 g/cm3 at temperatures between 50 and 400 eV as well as for a quaternary system with added carbon at 20 g/cm3 and 10 eV. We determine the properties from a series of orbital-free molecular dynamics simulations and calculate the diffusion coefficients in the Maxwell–Stefan (MS) formulation. The Darken approximation, which includes only time correlations between the same atom of the same species, gives reasonable agreement with the full MS results. However, we find that the reasons for this concurrence rest with more complex, and somewhat subtle, details within the MS prescription.
