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…
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…
Properties of Dense Fluid Hydrogen and Helium in Giant Gas Planets
Jan Vorberger, Isaac Tamblyn, Stanimir A. Bonev +1
Equilibrium properties of hydrogen-helium mixtures under thermodynamic conditions found in the interior of giant gas planets are studied by means of density functional theory molec…
First Principles Calculations of Shock Compressed Fluid Helium
B. Militzer
The properties of hot dense helium at megabar pressures were studied with two first-principles computer simulation techniques, path integral Monte Carlo and density functional mole…
Simulations of Dense Atomic Hydrogen in the Wigner Crystal Phase
Burkhard Militzer, Rebekah L. Graham
Path integral Monte Carlo simulations are applied to study dense atomic hydrogen in the regime where the protons form a Wigner crystal. The interaction of the protons with the dege…
Hydrogen-Helium Mixtures at High Pressure
Burkhard Militzer
The properties of hydrogen-helium mixtures at high pressure are crucial to address important questions about the interior of Giant planets e.g. whether Jupiter has a rocky core and…
