Progress in Coupled Electron-Ion Monte Carlo Simulations of High-Pressure Hydrogen
We report recent progress in the Coupled Electron-Ion Monte Carlo method and its application to high-pressure hydrogen. We describe the particular form of electronic trial wave functions that we have employed in applications for high-pressure hydrogen. We report wave function comparisons for static proton configurations and preliminary results for thermal averages.
متن کاملLiquid-liquid phase transition in hydrogen by coupled electron-ion Monte Carlo simulations.
The phase diagram of high-pressure hydrogen is of great interest for fundamental research, planetary physics, and energy applications. A first-order phase transition in the fluid phase between a molecular insulating fluid and a monoatomic metallic fluid has been predicted. The existence and precise location of the transition line is relevant for planetary models. Recent experiments reported con...
متن کاملCoupled Electron-Ion Monte Carlo calculations of atomic hydrogen
We present a new Monte Carlo method which couples Path Integral for finite temperature protons with Quantum Monte Carlo for ground state electrons, and we apply it to metallic hydrogen for pressures beyond molecular dissociation. This method fills the gap between high temperature electron-proton Path Integral and ground state Diffusion Monte Carlo methods. Our data exhibit more structure and hi...
متن کاملCoupled electron-ion monte carlo calculations of dense metallic hydrogen.
We present an efficient new Monte Carlo method which couples path integrals for finite temperature protons with quantum Monte Carlo calculations for ground state electrons, and we apply it to metallic hydrogen for pressures beyond molecular dissociation. We report data for the equation of state for temperatures across the melting of the proton crystal. Our data exhibit more structure and higher...
متن کاملCoupled electron-ion Monte Carlo simulation of hydrogen molecular crystals.
We performed simulations for solid molecular hydrogen at high pressures (250 GPa ≤ P ≤ 500 GPa) along two isotherms at T = 200 K (phase III) and at T = 414 K (phase IV). At T = 200 K, we considered likely candidates for phase III, the C2c and Cmca12 structures, while at T = 414 K in phase IV, we studied the Pc48 structure. We employed both Coupled Electron-Ion Monte Carlo (CEIMC) and Path Integ...
