TL;DR: In this article, high-powered lasers at the National Ignition Facility were used to ramp compress iron over nanosecond timescales to 1.4 TPA (14 million atmospheres), a pressure four times higher than for previous static compression data.

TL;DR: A detailed review of the state-of-the-art EOS models for inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions can be found in this paper, where the authors present a detailed comparison with experiments.

TL;DR: The results suggest a triple point on the Au phase diagram that lies very close to the principal shock Hugoniot near ∼220 GPa, which is in contrast to density functional theory and first principles calculations of the high-pressure phases of Au that predict a variety of fcc-like structures with different stacking arrangements at intermediate pressures.

TL;DR: Copper samples were ramp compressed to peak pressures of 2.30 TPa and densities of nearly 30 g/cc, providing fundamental information regarding the compressibility and phase of copper at pressures more than 5 times greater than previously explored, and both density-functional theory and the stabilized jellium model reproduces the data well.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived two experimentally constrained pressure standards to terapascal conditions for gold and platinum and used them to obtain quasi-absolute, high-precision, pressure-density equation-of-state data.
