Nature of the convective state of crystals in “ultrahigh pressure + shear” conditions

The proposition is supported that the influence of ultrahigh pressure leads to the creation of a convective crystal state in which the entire ensemble of atoms is divided into strongly and weakly excited atoms. The first of these are found in a delocalized state, achieving the convective mass transfer regime, and the second are responsible for crystal structure.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnikh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 6, pp. 34–40, June, 1986.
