Abstract

Wide range equation of state (EOS) for liquid hydrogen is ultimately built by combining two kinds of density functional theory (DFT) molecular dynamics simulations, namely, first-principles molecular dynamics simulations and orbital-free molecular dynamics simulations. Specially, the present introduction of short cutoff radius pseudopotentials enables the hydrogen EOS to be available in the range 9.82×1049.82\times10^{-4} to 1.347×1031.347\times10^{3} g/cm3^{3} and up to 5×1075\times10^{7} K. By comprehensively comparing with various attainable experimental and theoretical data, we derive the conclusion that our DFT-EOS can be readily and reliably conducted to hydrodynamic simulations of the inertial confinement fusion.
