Comment on "Observation of the Wigner-Huntington transition to metallic hydrogen".

چکیده
Dias and Silvera (Research Article, 17 February 2017, p. 715) claim the observation of the Wigner-Huntington transition to metallic hydrogen at 495 gigapascals. We show that neither the claims of the record pressure nor the phase transition to a metallic state are supported by data and that the data contradict the authors' own unconfirmed previous results.

Response to Comment on "Observation of the Wigner-Huntington transition to metallic hydrogen".
Goncharov and Struzhkin present comments on our observation of metallic hydrogen. We show that most of their comments are unfounded and that our observation of a transition to a shiny, high-reflectance phase remains as evidence that hydrogen has transformed to the metallic phase.
متن کاملNovel Insulator to Metal Transition and Superconductivity in Sr-doped La2CuO4
We have studied the charge dynamics of Sr-doped La2CuO4 at hole concentration p = 0.07. We observed a clear indication of the competition between two Wigner lattice orders: One corresponds to a Tc = 15 K superconductivity and the other to Tc = 30K. Our results naturally explain the recent observation of metallic transport in extremely low (1%) Sr-doped La2CuO4 and establish a novel insulator to...
متن کاملThe insulator-metal transition in hydrogen.
I n their pioneering work over 75 years ago, Wigner and Huntington (1) predicted that solid molecular hydrogen would dissociate and become an atomic metal when pressurized to 25 GPa (25 GPa = 0.25 megabar) at a temperature T = 0 K. Subsequently, one of the great challenges of condensed matter physics in the past and present century has been to achieve metallization of hydrogen. Theory and exper...
متن کاملگذار نیمرسانا به فلز در پلی‌استیلن (trans-PA) (نقش سالیتونهای همبسته)
In this study the nature of transition to metallic regime in trans-polyacetylene (trans-PA) is investigated. Based on Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model and the use of Continued - Fraction Representation (CFR) as well as Lanczos algorithm procedure, we studied the effects of some selected soliton distributions on the semiconductor-to-metal transition in trans-PA.We found that,this transition occ...
متن کاملThe transition to the metallic state in low density hydrogen.
Solid atomic hydrogen is one of the simplest systems to undergo a metal-insulator transition. Near the transition, the electronic degrees of freedom become strongly correlated and their description provides a difficult challenge for theoretical methods. As a result, the order and density of the phase transition are still subject to debate. In this work, we use diffusion quantum Monte Carlo to b...
