abstract = {The transparent hP4 phase of dense sodium (Na), stable
above 200 GPa, has been computed to be an electride in
which valence electrons are localised on interstitial
lattice sites within the structure. However, there is no
experimental evidence for this interstitial electron
localisation in Na, or indeed in other high-density
electride phases. Using static compression and
single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques, we have grown
and studied a single-crystal sample of Na in the hP4 phase
at 223 GPa. Using atomic form factors for hP4-Na derived
from quantum crystallography techniques, we present
experimental results to support the electride nature of this
phase.},
