Abstract
The metal-to-insulator transition and the presence of the disorder induced localization of electronic orbitals of fluid mercury (f-Hg) were investigated. The electronic structure of f-Hg was simulated by means of ab initio molecular dynamics. To see the behavior of the simulation size dependency of the electronic orbital, systems with different number of atoms were simulated. The size dependency of the multifractal measure of the electronic orbitals reversed with decreasing the density, which suggests there exists the extended-to-localized-state transition near the metal-to-insulator transition region of f-Hg.
