Electronic structure of dense solid oxygen from insulator to metal investigated with X-ray Raman scattering ...
(World News Science)

Electronic structures of dense solid oxygen have been investigated up to 140 GPa with oxygen K-edge X-ray Raman scattering spectroscopy with the help of ab initio calculations based on density functional theory with semilocal metageneralized gradient approximation and nonlocal van der Waals density functionals. The present study demonstrates that the... ......
