Lokamani, M.; Vorberger, J.; Cangi, A.; Baczewski, A.; Ramakrishna, K.

Understanding the electronic transport properties of iron under high temperatures and pressures is essential for constraining geophysical processes. The difficulty of reliably measuring these properties under for sophisticated theoretical methods that can support diagnostics. We present results of the electrical conductivity from simulating microscopic Ohm’s law using time-dependent density functional theory.
