Reflectance of Rhenium as a Function of Pressure in a Diamond Anvil Cell

Jing Song, Irina Chuvashova, Isaac F. Silvera

We have measured the reflectance of rhenium in the visible region to pressures up to 100 GPa in a diamond anvil cell (DAC). By photographing the reflecting surface, we visually sho…

A New Cryogenic Apparatus to Search for the Neutron Electric Dipole Moment

M. W. Ahmed, R. Alarcon, A. Aleksandrova +91

A cryogenic apparatus is described that enables a new experiment, nEDM@SNS, with a major improvement in sensitivity compared to the existing limit in the search for a neutron Elect…

Comment on: Observation of a first order phase transition to metal hydrogen near 425 GPa

Isaac F. Silvera, Ranga Dias

Loubeyre, Occelli, and Dumas (LOD) [1] claim to have produced metallic hydrogen (MH) at a pressure of 425 GPa, without the necessary supporting evidence of an insulator to metal tr…

The neutron electric dipole moment experiment at the Spallation Neutron Source

K. K. H. Leung, M. Ahmed, R. Alarcon +90

Novel experimental techniques are required to make the next big leap in neutron electric dipole moment experimental sensitivity, both in terms of statistics and systematic error co…

Finite element simulation of the liquid-liquid transition to metallic hydrogen

Matthew Houtput, Jacques Tempere, Isaac F. Silvera

Hydrogen at high temperature and pressure undergoes a phase transition from a liquid molecular phase to a conductive atomic state, or liquid metallic hydrogen, sometimes referred t…

Striking Isotope Effect on the Metallization Phase Lines of Liquid Hydrogen and Deuterium

Mohamed Zaghoo, Rachel Husband, Isaac F. Silvera

Liquid atomic metallic hydrogen is the simplest, lightest, and most abundant of all liquid metals. The role of nucleon motions or ion dynamics has been somewhat ignored in relation…
