Quantum Monte Carlo calculations of the thermal conductivity of neutron star crusts
We use quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) techniques to calculate the static structure function $S(q)$ of a one-component ion lattice and use it to calculate the thermal conductivity $\ensuremath{\kappa}$ of high-density solid matter expected in the neutron star crust. By making detailed comparisons with the results for the thermal conductivity obtained …
