Abstract

Solid He is studied in the pressure and temperature ranges 1-40 TPa and 0-10 000 K using first-principles methods. Anharmonic vibrational properties are calculated within a self-consistent field framework, including the internal and free energies, density-pressure relation, stress tensor, thermal expansion, and the electron-phonon coupling renormalization of the electronic band gap. We find that an accurate description of electron-phonon coupling requires us to use a nonperturbative approach. The metallization pressure of 32.9 TPa at 0 K is larger than found previously. The vibrational effects are large; for example, at P=30  TPa the band gap is increased by 2.8 eV by electron-phonon coupling and a further 0.1 eV by thermal expansion compared to the static value. The implications of the calculated metallization pressure for the cooling of white dwarfs are discussed.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 14. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 December 2023.
All research outputs
#2,372,950
of 23,630,563 outputs
Outputs from Physical Review Letters
#7,084
of 36,314 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#28,897
of 310,581 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Physical Review Letters
#129
of 644 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,630,563 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 89th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 36,314 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 14.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 310,581 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 644 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
