“…Due to the rapid increase in the decomposition rate with temperature of an exothermic reaction, the possibility of self-ignition of pure nitrous oxide was predicted theoretically and confirmed experimentally. 12,13 Its high density and low storage pressure enable N 2 O to be highly competitive with stored high-pressure gas systems. Nitrous oxide can be used as an oxidizer in a monopropellant rocket motor.…”

First-principles molecular-dynamics simulations based on density-functional theory have been used to study the electronic and optical properties of fluid nitrous oxide under extreme conditions. Systematic descriptions of pair-correlation function, atomic structure, and the charge density distribution are used to investigate the dissociation of fluid nitrous oxide. The electrical and optical properties are derived from the Kubo-Greenwood formula. It is found that the nonmetal-metal transition for fluid nitrous oxide can be directly associated to the dissociation and has significant influence on the optical properties of the fluid.
