The experimental multiple-shock technique and a computer-code simulation were used for investigations of electrophysical properties of dense molten sodium up to pressures of 230(5) GPa and temperatures up to 8000(600) K. The multiple-shock data show that the resistivity of shocked sodium increases with pressure and temperature up to 270(30) μ cm. This change was interpreted via the pressure-induced metal-semiconductor transition in shocked molten sodium.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
