Anomalous resistivity of lithium at high dynamic pressure

Experimental investigation of lithium compressed by multiple shock waves up to the pressure $210$ GPa demonstrates the abnormal dependence of electric resistivity. As against normal behavior of metal, the resistivity monotonically increases in the pressure range $30$–$150$ GPa from typical metallic value at ambient conditions in more than 15 times, returning back to metallic one at pressure higher then $160$–$210$ GPa. The obtained results demonstrate anomalous resistivity of lithium both in solid in liquid states.
