Observation of a metastable intermediate during solid-solid phase transformation in response to rapid compression
Michael R. Armstrong, Harry B. Radousky, Ryan A. Austin +23
In order to probe the mechanism of solid-solid phase transformations, we have applied ultrafast shock wave compression (120 picosecond duration) and ultrashort (130 femtosecond) x-…

Anharmonicity-induced isostructural phase transition of Zirconium under pressure
Elissaios Stavrou, Lin H. Yang, Per Soderlind +8
We have performed a detailed x-ray diffraction structural study of Zr under pressure and unambiguously identify the existence of a first-order isostructural bcc-to-bcc phase transi…
