Laser-shock compression and Hugoniot measurements of liquid hydrogen to 55 GPa

Abstract: The principal Hugoniot for liquid hydrogen was obtained up to 55 GPa under laser-driven shock loading. Pressure and density of compressed hydrogen were determined by impedance-matching to a quartz standard. The shock temperature was independently measured from the brightness of the shock front. Hugoniot data of hydrogen provide a good benchmark to modern theories of condensed matter. The initial number density of liquid hydrogen is lower than that for liquid deuterium, and this results in shock compressed hydr… Show more

“…To precisely determine the velocity at the interface time, we linearly fitted the velocities over 0.5 ns and extrapolated to forward or backward the impedance-matching time. 25 The velocities were calculated by averaging the shock profile over 100 ps. Here, we neglected the preheat effect, which was estimated to be less than 0.03 eV from radiation hydrodynamic simulations with the MULTI code.…”

“…While most previous experimental work has been on deuterium samples, a recent experiment using laserdriven shock waves (Sano et al, 2011a) measured shocked hydrogen in the pressure range between 25 GPa and 55 GPa. The lower pressure data are in agreement with previous experiments (Dick and Kerley, 1980;Nellis et al, 1983a) and at higher pressures they show a compression of ∼ 5, which suggest that hydrogen is more compressible than deuterium.…”

“…Therefore, the same shock applied to hydrogen and deuterium will achieve higher pressures in deuterium. The principle Hugoniot for hydrogen has recently been measured up to 55 GPa using laser-driven shock compression (Sano et al, 2011b). See section IV.B.1 for a detailed discussion of the measured and calculated Hugoniots of H 2 and D 2 .…”
