First-principles molecular dynamics simulations reveal a liquid-liquid phase transition in supercooled elemental silicon. Two phases coexist below T-c approximate to 1232 K and above p(c)approximate to-12 kB. The low-density phase is nearly tetracoordinated, with a pseudogap at the Fermi surface, while the high-density phase is more highly coordinated and metallic in nature. The transition is observed through the formation of van der Waals loops in pressure-volume isotherms below T-c.
