Abstract:The use of lasers to induce extreme compression states enables the study of material properties and equations of state at unprecedented pressures and temperature conditions. The combination of laser-driven compression and x-ray diagnostics provides a unique picture of the transformations taking place in high-energy-density matter. Structural probes, such as Xray diffraction and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS, Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure), have been developed at the Omega laser (University of… Show more
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.
