“…However, a more recent theoretical calculation that fully included the effect of anharmonicity for the first time found instead that the BCC phase remained stable up to melting, and no explanation for the 210-GPa discontinuity could be provided 8 . Recently, the sound velocities of shocked molybdenum were re-measured 9 and, in agreement with the theoretical calculation 8 , it was found that there is no statistically significant evidence for a 210-GPa discontinuity, thereby suggesting that Mo remains in the BCC phase until shock melting near 390 GPa. However, other recent studies have already raised questions about this conclusion 27,28 .…”
