Abstract
The dielectric—metal structural phase transition in alkali halide metals under conditions of extremely high pressures is studied using the method of electron density functional (MDF). The values of metallization pressure are calculated for both infinite crystals and nano-size samples. The dimensional dependence of metallization pressure is revealed, namely, the dependence of the value of phase transition pressure on the initial size of crystal.
