What is Warm Dense Matter? WDM occurs at the intersection of condensed matter and plasma physics Too hot to be condensed matter Too strongly coupled to be a plasma Hot enough that a large fraction of electrons are excited above the Fermi energy Murillo, M. S. Physics of Plasmas 11, 2964 (2004). warm dense matter is a malfunction junction that lies at the confluence of plasma, gas, liquid and solid... -Basic Research Needs for High Energy Density Laboratory Physics, Nov 2009 16
