Quantum Monte Carlo study of high pressure solid molecular hydrogen

We use the diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) method to calculate the ground-state phase diagram of solid molecular hydrogen and examine the stability of the most important insulating phases relative to metallic crystalline molecular hydrogen. We account for finite-size errors by combining the use...
