High energy density matter exists extensively in the universe, from hot dense plasmas such as supernova and stellar interiors to warm dense matter such as planetary interiors. Creating and analyzing hot and warm dense plasmas under such extreme conditions in the laboratory is critical to understand their unique properties. The advent of x-ray free-electron laser (XFEL), which provides intense femtosecond pulses, enables us to quickly heat bulk materials, creating dense plasmas under non-local thermal equilibrium (NLTE). In the dense plasma, ionization potential depression (IPD) effect emergies, but theoretical IPD models have been considered at local thermal equilibrium. In this study, we employ XMDYN, a Monte-Carlo (MC) and molecular-dynamic (MD) -based computational tool, to simulate the dense materials interacting with intense XFEL pulses. In order to include the IPD for NLTE plasma environment, we propose a numerical method based on ab initio calculation of atomic energy shifts due to the micro-field obtained directly from MD simulations. We demonstrate the the IPD effects in MD simulations of solid-density aluminum plasma formation.
