Nonmetal-metal transition in sulphur melt under high pressure

In the melt of sulphur a nonmetal-metal transition was found under high pressure. The transition is accompanied by a decrease of volume. The changes of electrical resistivity and of volume take place in a rather narrow temperature interval of about 30 K. In the semiconducting state of S melt one mor...

Description
Summary:In the melt of sulphur a nonmetal-metal transition was found under high pressure. The transition is accompanied by a decrease of volume. The changes of electrical resistivity and of volume take place in a rather narrow temperature interval of about 30 K. In the semiconducting state of S melt one more transition accompanied by a change of volume was found.
