The equation of state and nonmetal-metal transition of benzene under shock compression
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract We employ quantum molecular dynamic simulations to investigate the behavior of benzene under shock conditions. The principal Hugoniot derived from the equation of state is determined. We compare our firs-principles results with available experimental data and provide predictions of chemical reactions for shocked benzene. The decomposition of benzene is found under the pressure of 11 GPa. The nonmetal-metal transition, which is associated with the rapid C-H bond breaking and the formation of atomic and molecular hydrogen, occurs under the pressure around 50 GPa. Additionally, optical properties are also studied.

Structural and electronic properties of compressed selenium and tellurium under high pressure
We investigate the mechanisms of the nonmetal-metal transitions of Se and Te induced by the volume compression both in the solid and liquid states by the density functional method. The volume compression increases the band width and the system transforms from nonmetal to metal phase both in the crystalline Se and Te. When the system has structural disorder, the energy of the anti-bonding level ...
متن کاملComment on "Metallization of fluid nitrogen and the Mott transition in highly compressed low-Z fluids".
Electrical conductivities are reported for degenerate fluid nitrogen at pressures up to 180 GPa (1.8 Mbar) and temperatures of approximately 7000 K. These extreme quasi-isentropic conditions were achieved with multiple-shock compression generated with a two-stage light-gas gun. Nitrogen undergoes a nonmetal-metal transition at 120 GPa, probably in the monatomic state. These N data and previous ...
متن کاملQuantum 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 کاملHigh pressure insulator-metal transition in molecular fluid oxygen.
We report the first experimental evidence for a metallic phase in fluid molecular oxygen. Our electrical conductivity measurements of fluid oxygen under dynamic quasi-isentropic compression show that a nonmetal-metal transition occurs at 3.4 fold compression, 4500 K, and 1.2 Mbar. We discuss the main features of the electrical conductivity dependence on density and temperature and give an inter...
