Metallization of alkali anions in condensed phases
The Herzfeld criterion for an insulator-to-metal transition is recast here to predict the critical concentration (n(cr)) for metallization of a solution having a solute more polarizable than the host solvent. The Clausius-Mossotti relation applied to the pure solvent shows that its polarizability an...
