Abstract: | Abstract The recent discovery of a solid-solid phase change in shock-compressed Mo and the theoretical interpretation suggest valence d-electron density as a major influence on structural stability. The relationship of this experimental result to the transition metal structures and alloy phase diagrams will be discussed. Specific predictions will be presented for the locations and slopes of transition metal and transition metal alloy phase boundaries. |
