The ground-state properties of spin-polarized tritium T$\downarrow$ at zero temperature are obtained by means of diffusion Monte Carlo calculations. Using an accurate {\em ab initio} T$\downarrow$-T$\downarrow$ interatomic potential we have…
We present diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) results on a new metastable, superfluid phase above the crystal ground state in two-dimensional 4He at densities > 0.065 1/A^2. The state is anisotropic with hexatic orbital order. This implies that…
We present a study of the local structure of high pressure hydrogen around the liquid-liquid transition line based on results from the Coupled Electron-Ion Monte Carlo method. We report results for the Equation of State, for the radial…
We present precision neutron scattering measurements of the Bose-Einstein condensate fraction, n0(T), and the atomic momentum distribution, n\star(k), of liquid 4He at pressure p =24 bar. Both the temperature dependence of n0(T) and of the…
Identifying the atomic structure and properties of solid hydrogen under high pressures is a long-standing problem of high-pressure physics with far-reaching significance in planetary and materials science. Determining the…
We introduce an efficient scheme for the molecular dynamics of electronic systems by means of quantum Monte Carlo. The evaluation of the (Born-Oppenheimer) forces acting on the ionic positions is achieved by two main ingredients: i) the…
Equation of state of He-4 hcp crystals with vacancies is determined at zero temperature using the diffusion Monte Carlo technique, an exact ground state zero-temperature method. This allows us to extract the formation enthalpy and isobaric…
We study the hydrodynamics of quantum 4He crystal oscillations in a superfluid liquid with involving the dynamics of atomically rough surfaces. It is shown that, due to enhancement of the kinetic growth coefficient as the temperature…
By using the diffusion Monte Carlo method, we obtained the full phase diagram of $^3$He on top of graphite preplated with a solid layer of $^4$He. All the $^4$He atoms of the substrate were explicitly considered and allowed to move during…
In this work we perform an ab-initio study of an ideal two-dimensional sample of 4He atoms, a model for 4He films adsorbed on several kinds of substrates. Starting from a realistic hamiltonian we face the microscopic study of the excitation…
We report the observation, in Monte Carlo simulations, of a novel type of quantum ordered state: {\it the metallic superfluid}. The metallic superfluid features ohmic resistance to counter-flows of protons and electrons, while featuring…
A Metropolis Monte Carlo algorithm is given for the case of a complex phase space weight, which applies generally in quantum statistical mechanics. Computer simulations using Lennard-Jones $^4$He near the $\lambda$-transition, including an…
The experimental realization of a thin layer of spin-polarized hydrogen adsorbed on top of the surface of superfluid 4He provides one of the best examples of a stable nearly two-dimensional quantum Bose gas. We report a theoretical study of…
Establishing the phase diagram of hydrogen is a major challenge for experimental and theoretical physics. Experiment alone cannot establish the atomic structure of solid hydrogen at high pressure, because hydrogen scatters X-rays only…
We have studied molecular hydrogen in a pure 1D geometry and inside a narrow carbon nanotube by means of the diffusion Monte Carlo method. The one-dimensionality of H2 in the nanotube is well maintained in a large density range, this system…
The phase fluctuations of the condensate in doped antiferromagnets, described by a t-t'-J model and a suitable 1/N expansion, provide a mechanism for a Kosterlitz-Thouless (KT) type of transition to a superconducting state below T_{c}. In…
Rare-gas solids (Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe) under hydrostatic pressure up to 30 kbar have been studied by path-integral Monte Carlo simulations in the isothermal-isobaric ensemble. Results of these simulations have been compared with available…
We investigate the properties of liquid ${}^4$He in both the normal and superfluid phases using path integral Monte Carlo simulations and recently developed ab initio potentials that incorporate pair, three-body, and four-body interactions.…
We study the conformation and scaling properties of a self-avoiding fluid membrane, subject to an osmotic pressure $p$, by means of Monte Carlo simulations. Using finite size scaling methods in combination with a histogram reweighting…
A number of crystal structures of water have been `superheated' in Monte Carlo simulations. Two well known models for water were considered; namely the TIP4P model and the SPC/E model. By comparing the fluid-solid coexistence temperature to…
