Abstract:Para-and ferro-magnetic fabrics are known to provide essential clues for understanding impact cratering processes. However, research on the effects of shock waves on diamagnetic fabrics is lacking. We, therefore, conducted a hypervelocity impact experiment on a block of diamagnetic Taunus quartzite and studied the changes in diamagnetic fabrics. In the crater subsurface, the reorientation of the diamagnetic fabrics is concentrated in a zone of ˜4 projectile diameters (25 mm) width directly below the point of i… Show more
