35. The insulator-metal first-order phase boundary can be obtained from the Clapeyron equation dp dT=(Sins-Smetal) (Vins-Vmetal). Here the volume difference Vins-Vmetal>0 is positive since the metal is more stable at higher pressure. Using Sins∼T2 3 which dominates over Smetal∼T at low temperatures, we obtain Eq. (13).
