The results of the measurements of the reflection coefficient of the laser beam with A = 1.06 pm from dense xenon plasma at P = 1.6-17 GPa and silicon under shock loading up to the insulatormetal transition region at P = 10-46 GPa are presented. Some properties of the optical and explosive experimental setup are described. The reflection picture and comparison of the dense plasma models with the experimental data are discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
