Electronic density of states (DOS) of silicates. The liquid (red) and the solid (blue) DOSs with the Fermi level shifted to 0 eV are plotted for a MgO, b SiO2, and c MgSiO3. The dash-dotted lines are the complete DOSs and the full the occupied DOSs only. The conditions were chosen so that they are close to the respective Hugoniot curve26,33,34 and the expected phase boundary20,27,33 as shown by the blue stars in Fig. 1. The blue shaded region represents the valence band in the solid, the green one is the gap, and the light purple one is the conduction band
