Metastable Ultracondensed Solid Hydrogenous Materials
W. J. Nellis
The primary purpose of this paper is to stimulate theoretical predictions of how to retain metastably hydrogenous materials made at high pressure P on release to ambient. Ultracond…
Dynamic high pressure: Why it makes metallic fluid hydrogen
W. J. Nellis
Metallic fluid H has been made by dynamic compression decades after Wigner and Huntington (WH) predicted its existence in 1935. The density obtained experimentally is within a few…
Has Metallic Hydrogen Been Made in a Diamond Anvil Cell?
W. J. Nellis, Arthur L. Ruoff, Isaac F. Silvera
Eremets and Troyan recently reported a transition of molecular hydrogen to metallic hydrogen (MH) at a pressure of ~270 GPa and 300 K. The quest for MH has been going on since 1935…
Metallic liquid hydrogen and likely Al2O3 metallic glass
W. J. Nellis
Dynamic compression has been used to synthesize liquid metallic hydrogen at 140 GPa (1.4 million bar) and experimental data and theory predict Al2O3 might be a metallic glass at ~3…
Will NIF Work
W. J. Nellis
It is vital that new clean and abundant sources of energy be developed for the sustainability of modern society. Nuclear fusion of the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium, if s…
P. W. Bridgman contributions to the foundations of shock compression of condensed matter
W. J. Nellis
Based on his 50-year career in static high-pressure research, P. W. Bridgman (PWB) is the father of modern high-pressure physics. What is not generally recognized is that Bridgman…
