Computation of the High Temperature Coulomb Density Matrix in Periodic Boundary Conditions
B. Militzer
The high temperature many-body density matrix is fundamental to path integral computation. The pair approximation, where the interaction part is written as a product of pair densit…
Comparison of Jupiter Interior Models Derived from First-Principles Simulations
B. Militzer, W. B. Hubbard
Recently two groups used first-principles computer simulations to model Jupiter's interior. While both studies relied on the same simulation technique, density functional molecular…
A Massive Core in Jupiter Predicted From First-Principles Simulations
B. Militzer, W. B. Hubbard, J. Vorberger +2
Hydrogen-helium mixtures at conditions of Jupiter's interior are studied with first-principles computer simulations. The resulting equation of state (EOS) implies that Jupiter poss…
First-Principles Studies of the Metallization and the Equation of State of Solid Helium
Saad Antoun Khairallah, Burkhard Militzer
The insulator-to-metal transition in solid helium at high pressure is studied with first-principles simulations. Diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) calculations predict that the b…
Implications of Shock Wave Experiments with Precompressed Materials for Giant Planet Interiors
Burkhard Militzer, William B. Hubbard
This work uses density functional molecular dynamics simulations of fluid helium at high pressure to examine how shock wave experiments with precompressed samples can help characte…
Mass-Radius Relationships for Solid Exoplanets
S. Seager, M. Kuchner, C. Hier-Majumder +1
We use new interior models of cold planets to investigate the mass-radius relationships of solid exoplanets, considering planets made primarily of iron, silicates, water, and carbo…
