Shock Wave Compression of NaCl Single Crystals observed by Flash-X-Ray Diffraction

Abstract

Flash-x-ray-diffraction pattern s (FX D) with an exposure tim e of 4 ns of XaCl single crystals compressed bv plane shock waves are obtained a t pressures of about 30 kbar. From the diffraction p atterns the compression is determ ined and compared w ith Hugoniot d ata. During shock load the lattice shows an uniaxial compression. While in case of m easurem ents a t the free surface an observation tim e of only a few nanoseconds is available, this experim ental set-up allows an observation tim e of two microseconds.
