  • Hydrogen under extremely compressed conditions exhibits extraordinary richness in physics and chemistry.Its structural transitions and phase diagram are fundamental for understanding the high pressure behavior of condensed matters, and also for important applications in astrophysics and material science.In this paper, we reviewed the research progress on metallic hydrogen since it was proposed until to very recent years.Several key issues and possible future progress about dense hydrogen are analyzed and summarized.With density functional theory calculations and a model analysis using an equation of states, we explored and demonstrated:(1)the complex and novel atomic structures of dense hydrogen; (2)the novel behaviors of hydrogen molecules near the dissociation region; (3)the stability of metallic hydrogen under pressure and the possibility of recovery to zero pressure; (4)the advantages and disadvantages of the "DAC+shock" experimental method to achieve metallic hydrogen.Our results showed that it is impossible to quench the high pressure phases of metallic hydrogen to ambient conditions.The complex behaviors of dense hydrogen present as a great challenge for both experimental and theoretical studies, especially near the dissociation of hydrogen molecules, where sharp discrepancies were unveiled, implying that much effort is still required to improve the state-of-the-art experimental and many-body theoretical methods.
