X-ray scattering measurements of dissociation-induced metallization of dynamically compressed deuterium

High-pressure experiments play a critical role in understanding planetary interiors, but are notoriously difficult to carry out. Here, the authors demonstrate a laboratory platform for the controlled exploration of deuterium, with results that challenge existing models of ionization under compressio...
