OPTICAL ABSORPTION MEASUREMENTS OF HYDROGEN AT MEGABAR PRESSURES - REPLY

摘要

Using a set of internally inconsistent assumptions for the refractive indices of diamond (n(d)) and hydrogen (n(H)) at 161 GPa, Ruoff and Ghandehari's calculations result in violations of thermodynamic laws. When consistent assumptions specified by Hanfland, Hemley, and Mao [Phys. Rev. B 43, 8767 (1991)] are followed, the conclusions of the latter paper are confirmed. [References: 22]
