Scientific paper

Water is a primary constituent of Uranus and Neptune. Because of their poor thermal conductivity and large mass, these planet's interiors reach extreme temperatures and pressures. Neptune's large magnetic field, observed by Voyager 2, is thought to come from a conducting layer compressed between 0.2 < P(Mbar) < 6 and 0.2 < T(eV) < 0.7, which covers the range where water is predicted to undergo insulator-to-ionic and ionic-to-metallic transitions. Previously no data existed above a couple Mbar where electron conduction is predominant. We present equation of state and reflectivity measurements for water shock-compressed to ~ 6 Mbar. At these high pressures water is highly reflective for visible light.
