摘要

Based on the conservation law and the Hugoniot equation, a simple relation is derived for the limiting compression of metals whose volume corresponds to the extremely close packing of cations. It is predicted that the metals under extreme compression by shock waves will have low electronic conductivity up to the level of semiconductors. In the case of polyvalent metals, their further compression will lead to electronic transitions with increased charge of cations.
