Quantum molecular dynamics simulations for the nonmetal-to-metal transition in fluid helium.
We have performed quantum molecular dynamics simulations for dense helium to study the nonmetal-to-metal transition at high pressures. We present new results for the equation of state and the Hugoniot curve in the warm dense matter region. The optical conductivity is calculated via the Kubo-Greenwood formula from which the dc conductivity is derived. The nonmetal-to-metal transition is identifi...
متن کاملQuantum molecular dynamics simulations for compressed fluid helium
Helium is very suitable to investigate the highpressure behavior since no dissociation equilibrium between molecules and atoms interferes with the ionization equilibrium, and the first (24.6 eV) and second ionization energy (54.4 eV) are well separated. Surprisingly, only few experimental and theoretical studies exist for warm dense helium [1, 2, 3, 4]. We have performed quantum molecular dynam...
متن کاملQuantum molecular dynamics simulations for expanded fluid alkali metals
The physical properties of fluid alkali metals and mercury have been studied intensively both theoretically [1] and experimentally [2, 3, 4]. The most interesting feature in fluid metals compared with LennardJones systems is the density dependence of the interaction between the particles. This leads to a strong state dependence of the thermodynamic properties and to a metal-to-nonmetal transiti...
متن کاملMedium-range fluctuations accompanying the metal-nonmetal transition in expanded fluid hg.
We have carried out small angle x-ray scattering experiments of expanded fluid Hg in the metal-nonmetal (M-NM) transition region around 9.0 g cm(-3). Increase of small angle scattering intensity following the Ornstein-Zernike equation is clearly observed in the M-NM transition region as well as near the liquid-vapor critical point at 5.8 g cm(-3). The short-range correlation length, R, becomes ...
متن کاملCore-hole screening as a probe for a metal-to-nonmetal transition in lead clusters.
Metal clusters serve as model systems to study basic problems of electronic correlation. Vacuum ultraviolet light from the free-electron laser FLASH ionizes 5d electrons from mass-separated negatively charged clusters, thus transiently leading to core-ionized neutral systems. Shielding of the core hole affects the electron binding energy. From the strong deviation from expectations of the metal...
