Research Abstract

We successfully measured the optical absorption spectra of AlH3 under high pressures up to 130 GPa, by means of a diamond anvil cell. At 65 GPa, the sample became opaque, and the absorption spectral feature was consistent with the indirect interband transition. When the pressure was elevated further, the color of the sample did not change. However, the monotonic increase in absorption was found in the infrard energy region above 106 GPa. This increase was interpreted in terms of a plasma absorption of free electrons, by a theoretical simulation. Thus, this is the first report on optical response on the pressure induced metallization of AlH3.
