Abstract
AbstractThe plasma phase transition in dense hydrogen and in electron‐hole plasmas is investigated by direct path integral Monte Carlo simulations. Hydrogen results for the internal energy at T = 10, 000 K show a deep minimum and strong fluctuations around the density n = 1023 cm−3 indicating the existence of a phase transition. To verify this explanation, the analogous phenomenon is studied for an electron‐hole plasma in Germanium. The calculated phase boundary of the electron‐hole liquid is found to agree reasonably well with the available experimental data. (© 2003 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
