Carbon ionization at gigabar pressures: An ab initio perspective on astrophysical high-density plasmas
A realistic description of partially ionized matter in extreme thermodynamic states is critical to model the interior and evolution of the multiplicity of high-density astrophysical objects. Current predictions of its essential property, the ionization degree, rely widely on analytical approximation...
