3. Red regions indicate high H
2 density; blue regions indicate low H
2 density. The density was calculated by a molecular dynamics simulation run at 77 K using density functional theory with the Perdew–Burke–Ernzerhof generalized gradient approximation as implemented in the Vienna
ab initio Simulation Package (VASP). The plot was generated using VaspView by Tim Mueller at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. See the technical theme that begins on p. 659.
