Abstract
Two shock wave experiments employing inclined mirrors have been carried out to determine the Hugoniot elastic limit (HEL), final shock state at 191 and 217 GPa, and the post-shock state of diamond crystal, which is shock-compressed along the intermediate direction between the <111> and <110> crystallographic axes. The HEL wave has a velocity of 19.9 ± 0.3 mm/µsec and an amplitude of 63 ± 28 GPa. An alternate interpretation of the inclined wedge mirror streak record suggests a ramp precursor wave and then another HEL value. The maximum post-shock density achieved upon release from the ∼200 GPa shock state is ∼3.95 Mg/m³, which compares to the initial density 3.52 Mg/m³. This result suggests an elastic unloading effect or shock-induced transition to a denser (possibly metallic) phase.
