Data analysis methods for powder x-ray diffraction intensity under laser-driven dynamic compression at Omega and NIF laser facilities

Marius Millot, Federica Coppari, Amy Lazicki +1

Powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) under laser-driven dynamic compression is a powerful tool to investigate material response to extreme pressure, temperature and strain rates. Robust…

High pressure melt dynamics in shock-compressed titanium

Saransh Singh, Reetam Paul, Nikhil Rampal +22

We study the high-pressure melting behavior of titanium using laser-driven shock compression with in situ femtosecond x-ray diffraction and molecular-dynamics simulations based on…

X-ray thermal diffuse scattering as a texture-robust temperature diagnostic for dynamically compressed solids

P. G. Heighway, D. J. Peake, T. Stevens +119

We present a model of x-ray thermal diffuse scattering (TDS) from a cubic polycrystal with an arbitrary crystallographic texture, based on the classic approach of Warren. We compar…

Femtosecond temperature measurements of laser-shocked copper deduced from the intensity of the x-ray thermal diffuse scattering

J. S. Wark, D. J. Peake, T. Stevens +122

We present 50-fs, single-shot measurements of the x-ray thermal diffuse scattering (TDS) from copper foils that have been shocked via nanosecond laser-ablation up to pressures abov…

Shock Hugoniot of diamond from 3 to 80 TPa

Damian C. Swift, Andrea L. Kritcher, Amy Lazicki +13

The principal Hugoniot of carbon, initially diamond, was measured from 3 to 80 TPa (30 to 800 million atmospheres), the highest pressure ever achieved, using radiography of spheric…

Improved analysis of converging shock radiographs

Damian C. Swift, Andrea L. Kritcher, Amy Lazicki +6

We previously reported an experimental platform to induce a spherically-convergent shock in a sample using laser-driven ablation, probed with time-resolved x-ray radiography, and a…
