Inelastic x-ray scattering measurements of dynamical cross-over in liquid As2Se3 at high temperature and high pressure
Liquid As2Se3 undergoes the semiconductor-metal transition with increasing temperature when pressure is applied to avoid evaporation of the liquid. To investigate the atomic dynamics of liquid As2Se3, we have ca...
