We develop a one-dimensional mathematical model for the loading process of hydrogen in a metal hydride tank. The model describes the evolution of the density and pressure of the hydrogen gas, the temperature of the tank, the averaged…
According to the theoretical predictions, insulating molecular hydrogen dissociates and transforms to an atomic metal at pressures P~370-500 GPa. In another scenario, the metallization first occurs in the 250-500 GPa pressure range in…
The equation of state of liquid metallic hydrogen is solved numerically. Investigations are carried out at temperatures, which correspond both to the experimental conditions under which metallic hydrogen is produced on earth and the…
In recent years, metal hydride research has become one of the driving forces of the high-pressure community, as it is believed to hold the key to superconductivity close to ambient temperature. While numerous novel metal hydride compounds…
Eremets and Troyan recently reported a transition of molecular hydrogen to metallic hydrogen (MH) at a pressure of ~270 GPa and 300 K. The quest for MH has been going on since 1935 when Wigner and Huntington predicted solid H2 at 0 K would…
For a long time, there have been huge discrepancies between different models and experiments concerning the liquid-liquid phase transition (LLPT) in dense hydrogen. In this work, we present the results of extensive calculations of the LLPT…
In their recent work Dias and Silvera (Science 2017) claim to have observed the Wigner-Huntington transition of hydrogen to a metallic state (MH) at a pressure of 495 GPa at low temperatures. The evidence for this transition is based on a…
Recent experimental developments in hydrogen-rich materials in high pressures have put this class of materials above others in the race toward room temperature superconductivity. As it is the basis of all the materials in this class, the…
Phase I of hydrogen has several peculiarities. Despite having a close-packed crystal structure, it is less dense than either the low temperature Phase II or the liquid phase. At high pressure, it transforms into either phase III or IV,…
Molecular hydrogen was pressurized in a diamond anvil cell at temperatures between 5 and 83 K. At a sufficiently high pressure, estimated to be between 477 to 491 GPa, hydrogen became metallic, determined by its reflectance in the near…
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,…
Liquid atomic metallic hydrogen is the simplest, lightest, and most abundant of all liquid metals. The role of nucleon motions or ion dynamics has been somewhat ignored in relation to the dissociative insulator-metal transition. Almost all…
Diatomic nitrogen is an archetypal molecular system known for its exceptional stability and complex behavior at high pressures and temperatures, including rich solid polymorphism, formation of energetic states, and an insulator-to-metal…
Hydrogen as a fuel can be stored safely with high volumetric density in metals. It can, however, also be detrimental to metals causing embrittlement. Understanding fundamental behavior of hydrogen at atomic scale is key to improve the…
A thermodynamically consistent mathematical model for hydrogen adsorption in metal hydrides is proposed. Beside hydrogen diffusion, the model accounts for phase transformation accompanied by hysteresis, swelling, temperature and heat…
We argue that there is a new liquid phase in the two-dimensional electron system in Si MOSFETs at low enough electron densities. The recently observed metal-insulator transition results as a crossover from the percolation transition of the…
The insulator-to-metal transition in dense fluid hydrogen is an essential phenomenon to understand gas giant planetary interiors and the physical and chemical behavior of highly compressed condensed matter. Using fast laser spectroscopy…
Being the simplest element with just one electron and proton the electronic structure of the Hydrogen atom is known exactly. However, this does not hold for the complex interplay between them in a solid and in particular not at high…
The existence of a 'crossover region' in glass-forming liquids has long been considered as a general phenomenon that is as important as the glass transition. One potential origin for the crossover behavior is a liquid-to-liquid phase…
Production of metallic hydrogen is one of the top three open quests of physics. Recent low-temperature experiments report different metallization pressures, varying from 360GPa to 490GPa. In this work, we simulate structural properties,…
