Electrical conductivity measurements in shock compressed liquid nitrogen
Abstract
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(-2) to 1 x 10(2) ohm(-1) cm(-1). The data are discussed in terms of a liquid semiconductor model below the onset of the dissociative phase transition at 30 GPa.
