Two variants of optical imaging velocimetry, specifically the one-dimensional streaked line-
imaging and the two-dimensional time-resolved area-imaging versions of the Velocity …

The gas and ice giants in our solar system can be seen as a natural laboratory for the
physics of highly compressed matter at temperatures up to thousands of kelvins. In turn, our …

We demonstrate a significantly simplified experimental approach for investigating liquid
metallic hydrogen, which is crucial to understand the internal structure and evolution of giant …

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 …

We present structure and equation of state (EOS) measurements of biaxially orientated
polyethylene terephthalate (PET,(C 10 H 8 O 4) n, also called mylar) shock-compressed to …

Equation of state measurements at Jovian or stellar conditions are currently conducted by
dynamic shock compression driven by multi-kilojoule multi-beam nanosecond-duration …

Abstract Benzene (C6H6), while stable under ambient conditions, can become chemically
reactive at high pressures and temperatures, such as under shock loading conditions. Here …

The electronic structure and dielectric properties of the diamond, body centered cubic
diamond (bc8), and hexagonal diamond (lonsdaleite) phases of carbon are computed using …

In situ femtosecond x-ray diffraction measurements and ab initio molecular dynamics
simulations were performed to study the liquid structure of tantalum shock released from …

Methane and other hydrocarbons are major components of the mantle regions of icy planets.
Several recent computational studies have investigated the high-pressure behaviour of …
