Heat-release EOS and thermal conductivity of warm dense carbon by proton differential heating

ORAL

Abstract

Measurements of amorphous carbon thermal conductivity at 2-8 eV temperatures using differential heating platform will be presented. This platform has previously demonstrated such measurements for Al (Y. Ping et al. Phys. Plasmas, 2015; A. Mckelvey, et al. Sci. Reports 2017). A temperature gradient is induced in a Au/C dual-layer target by proton differential heating. The subsequent heat flow from the hotter Au to the carbon rear surface is detected by two simultaneous time-resolved diagnostics: streak optical pyrometry for surface temperature and Fourier domain interferometry for surface motion. The comparison between the data and 7 EOS tables shows that only one EOS model can reasonably reproduce all the data. By using a chi-square statistical analysis to quantify the comparison, the thermal conductivity model is constrained with uncertainties down to +-10%.
