| Abstract: |
Models of diffusion in white dwarfs universally rely on the coefficients
calculated by Paquette et al. (1986). We present new
calculations of diffusion coefficients based on an advanced
microscopic theory of dense plasmas and a numerical simulation approach
that intrinsically accounts for multiple collisions. Our method is validated against a state-of-the-art
method and we present results for the diffusion of carbon ions in a helium plasma. |
