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…
Structural evolution of iron oxides melts at Earth's outer-core pressures
Céline Crépisson, Mila Fitzgerald, Domenic Peake +32
Oxygen and other light elements comprise up to 5 wt% of the Earth's outer-core, and may significantly influence its physical properties and the operation of the geodynamo. Here we…
Orientational Effects in the Low Pair Continuum of Aluminium
Thomas Gawne, Zhandos A Moldabekov, Oliver S Humphries +6
We compare the predictions of the dynamic structure factor (DSF) of ambient polycrystalline aluminium from time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) in the pair continuum re…
High-Quality Ultra-Fast Total Scattering and Pair Distribution Function Data using an X-ray Free Electron Laser
Adam F. Sapnik, Philip A. Chater, Dean S. Keeble +48
High-quality total scattering data, a key tool for understanding atomic-scale structure in disordered materials, require stable instrumentation and access to high momentum transfer…
Strong geometry dependence of the X-ray Thomson Scattering Spectrum in single crystal silicon
Thomas Gawne, Zhandos A. Moldabekov, Oliver S. Humphries +17
We report on results from an experiment at the European XFEL where we measured the x-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) spectrum of single crystal silicon with ultrahigh resolution. Com…
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…
X-ray induced grain boundary formation and grain rotation in Bi2Se3
Kento Katagiri, Bernard Kozioziemski, Eric Folsom +24
Optimizing grain boundary characteristics in polycrystalline materials can improve their properties. Many processing methods have been developed for grain boundary manipulation, in…
Ultra-fast yttrium hydride chemistry at high pressures via non-equilibrium states induced by x-ray free electron laser
Emily Siska, G. Alexander Smith, Sergio Villa-Cortes +24
Controlling the formation and stoichiometric content of desired phases of materials has become a central interest for the study of a variety of fields, notably high temperature sup…
