Metallic xenon. Polarizability. Equation of state
Abstract
It is shown that some of the physical properties of inert gas (IG) condensates (polarizability, compressibility, metallization under pressure, equation of state) may be well described taking into account the first excited state of atoms only. The Herzfeld criterion of metallization well corresponds to the Mott transition criterion and to the percolation threshold. For metallic xenon concentration of the molecular type excitations corresponds to the Bose condensation temperature TC 4000K. The BCS formula gives Tc 5000K. If phonons are changed by fluctuations of interatomic interaction energy. A simple relations between the parameters of atoms at metallization has been found.
