Combined optical reflectivity measurement and ab initio simulation of expanded gold fluid across the metal–nonmetal transition regime

The metal–nonmetal transition is of fundamental interest in contemporary physics. We present a combination of the optical reflectivity measurement of an expanded gold fluid produced by gold L-band x-rays from a Hohlraum and the corresponding ab initio calculations to study the metal–nonmetal transit...
