Nanosecond timescale plasticity in shock-compressed polycrystalline MgO: evidence for transition in mechanism above 100 GPa
A. Chakraborti, H. Ginestet, F. Bertrand +80
The mechanical properties of ceramics under extreme conditions directly impact applications ranging from shielding spacecrafts, designing plasma facing materials in nuclear fusion…

Volume Collapse Without a Structural Transition in Shock-Compressed FeO
C. Crépisson, T. Stevens, M. Fitzgerald +121
We report x-ray diffraction and emission spectroscopy of FeO under laser-driven shock compression between 31-199 GPa. FeO retains the B1 (rocksalt) structure along the Hugoniot to…

Diffuse scattering from dynamically compressed single-crystal zirconium following the pressure-induced phase transition
P. G. Heighway, S. Singh, M. G. Gorman +3
The prototypical phase transition in zirconium is an ideal test-bed for our understanding of polymorphism under extreme loading conditions. After half a century of study,…
