title: Aluminum equation-of-state data in the warm dense matter regime.
abstract: Isochore measurements were performed in the warm dense matter regime. Pressure and internal energy variation of aluminum plasma (density 0.1 g/cm(3) and 0.3 g/cm(3)) are measured using a homogeneous and thermally equilibrated media produced inside an isochoric plasma closed vessel in the internal energy range 20-50 MJ/kg. These data are compared to detailed calculations obtained from ab initio quantum molecular dynamics, average atom model within the framework of the density functional theory, and standard theories. A dispersion between theoretical isochore equation of state is found in the studied experimental thermodynamic regime.
