Abstract: | Warm dense hydrogen is studied in the region of fluid–fluid phase transition within the framework of the density functional theory. We report a procedure of obtaining metastable states and calculate the equation of state. Metastable states are diagnosed by pair correlation functions and values of conductivity. We obtain a strong overlapping through the density of metastable and equilibrium branches of pressure isotherms. This indicates the plasma nature of the phase transition. |
