Fully Consistent Density Functional Theory Determination of the Insulator-Metal Transition Boundary in Warm Dense Hydrogen
Joshua Hinz, Valentin V. Karasiev, S. X. Hu +4
Using conceptually and procedurally consistent density functional theory (DFT) calculations with an advanced meta-GGA exchange-correlation functional in ab initio molecular dynamic…
New thermodynamic constraints on internal, thermal and magnetic states of terrestrial-like Super-Earths
M. Zaghoo
Ascertaining rocky exoplanets dynamic evolution requires better understanding of key internal thermophysical processes that shaped their geological surfaces, heat fluxes, volatiles…
Breakdown of Fermi degeneracy in the simplest liquid metal
M. Zaghoo, T. R. Boehly, J. R. Rygg +3
We are reporting the observation of the breakdown of electrons degeneracy and emergence of classical statistics in the simplest element: metallic deuterium. We have studied the opt…
Striking Isotope Effect on the Metallization Phase Lines of Liquid Hydrogen and Deuterium
Mohamed Zaghoo, Rachel Husband, Isaac F. Silvera
Liquid atomic metallic hydrogen is the simplest, lightest, and most abundant of all liquid metals. The role of nucleon motions or ion dynamics has been somewhat ignored in relation…
Size and strength of self-excited dynamos in Jupiter-like extrasolar planets
Mohamed Zaghoo, G. W. Collins
The magnetization of solar and extrasolar gas giants is critically dependent on electronic and mass transport coefficients of their convective fluid interiors. We analyze recent la…
Conductivity and Dissociation in Metallic Hydrogen: Implications for Planetary Interiors
Mohamed Zaghoo, Isaac F. Silvera
Liquid metallic hydrogen (LMH) was recently produced under static compression and high temperatures in bench-top experiments. Here, we report a study of the optical reflectance of…
Expanded Comment on: Optical Properties of Fluid Hydrogen at the Transition to a Conducting State
Isaac F. Silvera, Rachel Husband, Ashkan Salamat +1
We comment on a recent paper published by McWilliams et al claiming that high-pressure/high-temperature hydrogen is a semi-conductor or semi-metal, in conflict with all earlier mea…
A First-order Phase Transition to Metallic Hydrogen
Mohamed Zaghoo, Ashkan Salamat, Isaac F. Silvera
The insulator-metal transition in hydrogen is one of the most outstanding problems in condensed matter physics. The high-pressure metallic phase is now predicted to be liquid atomi…
