• Authors: Sam Azadi and N.D. Drummond and S.M. Vinko
• Abstract summary: We calculate correlation energy of paramagnetic three-dimensional homogeneous electron gas at intermediate to high density. Ground state energies in finite cells are determined using Slater-Jastrow-backflow trial wave functions. Our correlation energies in the thermodynamic limit are lower (i.e., more negative, and therefore more accurate according to the variational principle) than previous results.

• Abstract: The variational and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo methods are used to calculate the correlation energy of the paramagnetic three-dimensional homogeneous electron gas at intermediate to high density. Ground state energies in finite cells are determined using Slater-Jastrow-backflow trial wave functions, and finite-size errors are removed using twist-averaged boundary conditions and extrapolation of the energy per particle to the thermodynamic limit of infinite system size. Our correlation energies in the thermodynamic limit are lower (i.e., more negative, and therefore more accurate according to the variational principle) than previous results, and can be used for the parameterization of density functionals to be applied to high-density systems.

• Dimensional interpolation for metallic hydrogen [0.0]
  We employ a simple and mostly accurate dimensional formula using dimensional limits $D=1$ and $D=infty$ to obtain ground-state energy of metallic hydrogen. The formula not only predicts fairly accurate energies but also predicts a correct functional form of the energy as a function of the lattice parameters. These theoretical calculations suggest that metallic hydrogen is a likely candidate for high temperature superconductivity.
