Abstract

Thermophysical properties of dense deuterium-helium plasmas along the 160 g/cm3 isochore with temperatures up to 800 electron-volt are reported. From Kubo-Greenwood formula, the electronic thermal conductivity and Rosseland mean opacity are determined by means of quantum molecular dynamics (QMD) simulations. Equation of states is obtained by QMD and orbital free molecular dynamics. The electronic heat conductance is compared with several models currently used in inertial confinement fusion designs. Our results indicate that only in the weak coupling regime, the opacity is sensitive to the concentration of helium.
