| Abstract: | Ion-ion correlation functions of shock-compressed, strongly coupled aluminum plasma with 1–5 times solid density and 1–20 eV temperature are calculated by using a quasimolecular Thomas-Fermi model to determine the interaction potential between ions and by solving the Ornstein-Zernike equation together with the Percus-Yevick and, alternatively, the hypernetted chain aproximation. The results are checked by Monte-Carlo simulations and are compared with other independent calculations taken from the literature. |
