%0 Journal Article %T Metallic Xenon. Conductivity or Superconductivity? %A V. N. Bogomolov %J Physics %D 1999 %I arXiv %X It is demonstrated that the point of view that metallization of xenon as a result of a band - gap closure has some discrepancies with experimental result. A superconductivity transition as an alternative possibility is examined. At such supposition critical temperature of superconductivity transition T is about 5000 K. A mechanism of inert gas condensation by virtual excitations of molecular type is discussed. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/9902353v1
