固体氢金属化转变的性质

Nature of the Metallization Transition in Solid Hydrogen

Sam Azadi, N. D. Drummond, W. M. C. Foulkes

摘要:

本文对高压下固态氢分子的静核电子能带隙进行了精确的研究。用固定节点扩散量子蒙特卡罗(DMC)方法计算了250、300和350 GPa压力下$C2/c$、$Pc$、$Pbcn$和$P6_3/m$结构的激子能隙和准粒子能隙.平均场和多体带隙之间的差异,在相同的密度被发现是几乎独立的系统的大小,因此可以作为一个修正的平均场间隙的无限系统,以获得估计的多体间隙在热力学极限。通过比较我们的静态核DMC能隙与现有的实验结果,我们证明了核量子效应在固体氢的电子结构中所起的重要作用。我们的DMC结果表明,高压固态氢的金属化发生通过结构相变,而不是带隙关闭。

英文摘要:

We present an accurate study of the static-nucleus electronic energy band gap of solid molecular hydrogen at high pressure. The excitonic and quasiparticle gaps of the $C2/c$, $Pc$, $Pbcn$, and $P6_3/m$ structures at pressures of 250, 300, and 350~GPa are calculated using the fixed-node diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) method. The difference between the mean-field and many-body band gaps at the same density is found to be almost independent of system size and can therefore be applied as a scissor correction to the mean-field gap of an infinite system to obtain an estimate of the many-body gap in the thermodynamic limit. By comparing our static-nucleus DMC energy gaps with available experimental results, we demonstrate the important role played by nuclear quantum effects in the electronic structure of solid hydrogen. Our DMC results suggest that the metallization of high-pressure solid hydrogen occurs via a structural phase transition rather than band gap closure.
