Abstract

The structural and electronic properties of liquid arsenic are calculated using density-functional quantum theory to calculate forces and trajectories of atoms. A semiconducting gap of 0.4 eV is found, and a coordination number of 2.8, close to the experimental values of 0.5 eV and 3. Our results support the existence of a Peierls-type distortion in liquid arsenic.
