Abstract
Increasing demands to subsequent design and engineering of new high performance materials are boosting the precise knowledge of the transport properties of liquid metals. Here we report a quantum molecular dynamics study of diffusion coefficients and viscosity of liquid aluminum under high pressure. The diffusion coefficients and viscosity are calculated up to 140 GPa and 10000 K. The results deviate from the Rosenfeld scaling law, but the exponential relationships still exist between the dimensionless diffusion coefficients and viscosity with the pair correlation entropy.
