Electrical Conductivity Measurements in Shock Compressed Liquid Nitrogen

摘要

The electrical conductivity of shock compressed liquid nitrogen was measured in the pressure range 20 to 50 GPa using a two-stage light-gas gun. The conductivities covered a range 4 x 10 exp -2 to 1 x 10 exp 2 ohm exp -1 cm exp -1 . The data are discussed in terms of a liquid semiconductor model below the onset of the dissociative phase transition at 30 GPa. 15 refs., 1 fig. (ERA citation 11:001564)
