摘要
The density functional theory is used to calculate the equation of state and the proton-proton pair correlation functions in the range of hydrogen temperatures and densities where the fluid-fluid phase transition is expected. The metastable states are considered. The critical temperature has been estimated to be similar to 4000 K. We propose a two-step mechanism: the partial ionization of molecules to produce H-2(+) ions at the phase transition followed by the formation of H-3(+) ions.
