TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used converging explosively driven systems (CSs) and pulsed currents (PCs) to measure the Hughesoniot points of liquid at high temperatures and pressures.

TL;DR: The results of theoretical and experimental studies of microwave devices with virtual cathodes (VC's) are reviewed in this article, where the basic factors affecting operation efficiency of these devices are phase separation of electron flux, diode impedance matching with the high-voltage transmission line, and the availability of two characteristic features in the output spectrum.

TL;DR: In this article, experimental data on the compression of solid deuterium at a pressure of ∼60 GPa were presented and compared with the data of shock experiments obtained on a Nova laser facility and an electrodynamic EPBF-Z plant.

TL;DR: The current status of research and development in the realm of physics and technology of collective ion acceleration in systems with a virtual cathode (VC) is reviewed in this article, where three major acceleration methods and devices developed on their basis are considered: reflex triodes and their modifications, gas-filled vircators, and vacuum virculators with a Luce diode.

TL;DR: The history of the achievements of the All-Russian Research Institute of Experimental Physics (VNIIEF) in Russ. as discussed by the authors, where Andrey D Sakharov put forward the idea of magnetic cumulation as one of the possible methods for achieving a controlled thermonuclear reaction.
