Proton crystallization in a dense hydrogen plasma — •Michael Bonitz1, Vladimir Filinov2, Vladimir Fortov2, Pavel Levashov2, and Holger Fehske31Institut für Theoretische Physik und Astrophysik, CAU Kiel — 2Institute for High Energy Density, Russian Academy of Sciences — 3Institut für Physik, EMAU Greifswald

In a recent letter we have predicted that in a dense hydrogen plasma at sufficiently low temperatures protons would spontaneously order into a lattice which is embedded into an electron gas. The conditions for the stability of such an ion crystal in a neutral two-component plasma were derived in Ref. 1, in particular, we found that that a necessary condition for crystallization is that the mass of the heavy compononent exceeds the electron mass by a factor of about 80, so that effect should also be observable in various semiconductor materials [2].

Here we concentrate on the phase diagram of the proton crystal for which only a rough estimate is known. We present extensive first principle path integral Monte Carlo simulations which allow to predict the temperature and density range for proton crystallization in dense laboratory experiments.
