Journal ArticleDOI

Shock deformation of face-centred-cubic metals on subnanosecond timescales

TL;DR: Large-scale molecular dynamics simulations of shock-wave propagation through a metal allowing a detailed analysis of the dynamics of high strain-rate plasticity resolve the important discrepancy in the evolution of the strain from one- to three-dimensional compression observed in diffraction experiments.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental evidence for a phase transition in magnesium oxide at exoplanet pressures

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that ramp-compressed magnesium oxide, an important component of Earth's mantle, has a solid-solid state transition at about 600 GPa, with a high-pressure structure that is stable up to 900 GPa.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ultrafast visualization of crystallization and grain growth in shock-compressed SiO2.

TL;DR: In situ pump–probe XRD measurements on shock-compressed fused silica reveal an amorphous to crystalline high-pressure stishovite phase transition, and the functional form of this grain growth suggests homogeneous nucleation and attachment as the growth mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Material dynamics under extreme conditions of pressure and strain rate

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared 2D continuum simulations with experiments measuring perturbation growth from the Rayleigh-Taylor instability in solid state samples and deduced the microscopic dislocation dynamics that underlies this 1D-3D lattice relaxation.
