Low temperature phase diagram of condensed para-Hydrogen in two dimensions

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-10 v4

Abstract

Extensive Path Integral Monte Carlo simulations of condensed para-Hydrogen in two dimensions at low temperature have been carried out. In the zero temperature limit, the system is a crystal at equilibrium, with a triangular lattice structure. No metastable liquid phase is observed, as the system remains a solid down to the spinodal density, and breaks down into solid clusters at lower densities. The equilibrium crystal is found to melt at a temperature close to 7 K.
