Pressure-induced changes in the electronic structure of solids

A variety of high-pressure metallization and metal-semimetal transitions, crystallographic phase transitions, and equation of state and lattice vibrational anomalies are reviewed in terms of the concepts of electronic transition and pressure-induced loss of covalency.
