The dynamics of the approach to equilibrium of the hydrogen atom is investigated numerically through a Monte Carlo procedure. We show that, before approaching ionization, the hydrogen atom may live in a quasi-equilibrium state,…

The study of the high pressure phase diagram of hydrogen has continued with renewed effort for about one century as it remains a fundamental challenge for experimental and theoretical techniques. Here we employ an efficient molecular…
A Path Integral Monte Carlo method is used to investigate the thermodynamics of nuclear like systems. Systems composed of bosons or fermions interracting via a Lennard-Jones potential with periodic boundary conditions were simulated and the…
A survey of atomic binding energies used by general purpose Monte Carlo systems is reported. Various compilations of these parameters have been evaluated; their accuracy is estimated with respect to experimental data. Their effects on…

We calculate the linear and non-linear susceptibilities of periodic longitudinal chains of hydrogen dimers with different bond-length alternations using a diffusion quantum Monte Carlo approach. These quantities are derived from the changes…
The hydrogen bond is usually described within the clamped nucleus approximation in which electronic and vibrational motions are considered separately. This approach leads to a double-well potential which facilitates proton tunnelling. In…
