Phase transition in solid molecular hydrogen at ultrahigh pressures

RJ Hemley, HK Mao - Physical review letters, 1988 - APS

GPa. Spontaneous Raman spectra demonstrate that the solid undergoes a structural phase …

Fluid hydrogen at high density: Pressure ionization

D Saumon, G Chabrier - Physical Review A, 1992 - APS
In an earlier paper [Phys. Rev. A 44, 5122 (1991)], we presented a Helmholtz-free-energy
model for nonideal mixtures of hydrogen atoms and molecules. In the present paper, we …

Metallization of Hydrogen Under High Pressure: Challenges and Experimental Progress

L Wang, Z Wu, G Gao, Y Tian - Advanced Functional Materials, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
Hydrogen, the first element in the periodic table, is predicted to become metallic at extremely
high‐pressure conditions. Solid metallic hydrogen is believed to possess extraordinary …

Optical studies of hydrogen above 200 Gigapascals: Evidence for metallization by band overlap

RJ Hemley, HK Mao - Science, 1989 - science.org
Direct optical observations of solid hydrogen to pressures in the 250-gigapascal (2.5-
megabar) range at 77 K are reported. Hydrogen samples appear nearly opaque at the …

Fluid hydrogen at high density: Pressure dissociation

D Saumon, G Chabrier - Physical Review A, 1991 - APS
We develop a model for the Helmholtz free energy of fluid hydrogen at high density and high
temperature. This model aims at describing both pressure and temperature dissociation and …
