Abstract

Theoretical calculations indicate that the hydrogen molecule should depair at high pressures and eventually form a new alkali metal. The resultant alkali metal sample in the diamond anvil cell would not be transparent in the visible. Experimentally, we find that hydrogen is still transparent at 342 GPa. This represents over a 50% increase in the static pressure at which scientific studies have been made by other groups.
