This study overviews and extends a recently developed stochastic finite-temperature Kohn-Sham density functional theory to study warm dense matter using Langevin dynamics, specifically under periodic boundary conditions. The method's algorithmic complexity exhibits nearly linear scaling with system size and is inversely proportional to the temperature. Additionally, a novel linear-scaling stochastic approach is introduced to assess the Kubo-Greenwood conductivity, demonstrating exceptional stability for DC conductivity. Utilizing the developed tools, we investigate the equation of state, radial distribution, and electronic conductivity of Hydrogen at a temperature of 30,000K. As for the radial distribution functions, we reveal a transition of Hydrogen from gas-like to liquid-like behavior as its density exceeds $4 g/cm^3$. As for the electronic conductivity as a function of the density, we identified a remarkable isosbestic point at frequencies around 7eV, which may be an additional signature of a gas-liquid transition in Hydrogen at 30,000K. |
