Experimental and Theoretical Evidence for Pressure-Induced Metallization<? format?> in FeO with Rocksalt-Type Structure

K Ohta, RE Cohen, K Hirose, K Haule, K Shimizu… - Physical review …, 2012 - APS
Electrical conductivity of FeO was measured up to 141 GPa and 2480 K in a laser-heated
diamond-anvil cell. The results show that rock-salt (B1) type structured FeO metallizes at …
