Solid-state material at high pressure is prevalent throughout the Universe, and an
understanding of the structure of matter under such extreme conditions, gleaned from x-ray …

X-ray diffraction measurements under laser-driven dynamic compression now allow us to
investigate the atomic structure of matter at TPa pressures and thousands of degree …

We present a novel method for investigating laser-driven dynamic fragmentation in tin using
in situ X-ray diffraction. Our experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the method for …

Laser-shock compression experiments at 3rd and 4th generation light sources generally
employ phase plates, which are inserted into the beamline to achieve a repeatable intensity …

We present the development of an experimental platform that can collect four frames of x-ray
diffraction data along a single line of sight during laser-driven, dynamic-compression …

The physics governing the response of materials to shock loading has numerous
applications in various fields, ranging from Earth and planetary science to engineering and …

The newly operating near-backscattering imaging (NBI) system on the Laser MegaJoule
(LMJ) is briefly described with emphasis on the temporally resolved measurements and their …

We present the development of an experimental platform that can collect four frames of x-ray
diffraction data along a single line of sight during laser-driven, dynamic-compression …

Germanium dioxide is an important material for technology and material science as well as
for geophysics and planetary science. It can exist in three polymorphic phases at ambient …
