Zero-temperature equation of state of quasi-one-dimensional H2

We have studied molecular hydrogen in a pure 1D geometry and inside a narrow carbon nanotube by means of the diffusion Monte Carlo method. The one dimensionality of H2 in the nanotube is well maintained in a large density range, this system being closer to an ideal 1D fluid than liquid 4He in the same setup. H2 shares with 4He the existence of a stable liquid phase and a quasicontinuous liquid-solid transition at very high linear densities.

Progress in monte carlo calculations of fermi systems: normal liquid 3He

The application of the diffusion Monte Carlo method to a strongly interacting Fermi system as normal liquid 3He is explored. We show that the fixed-node method together with the released-node technique and a systematic method to analytically improve the nodal surface constitute an efficient strategy to improve the calculation up to a desired accuracy. This methodology shows unambiguously that backflow correlations are enough to generate an equation of state of liquid 3He in excellent agreement with experimental data from equilibrium up to freezing.
