Abstract
New shock compression data to 340 kb for single-crystal orthoclase (along (001)) demonstrate the onset of a shock-induced phase change at ∼115 kb. Along the Hugoniot a mixed-phase region extends to ∼300 kb, above which the data are believed to correspond to the properties of a high-pressure phase having the hollandite structure (zero pressure density of 3.84 g/cm^3) reported by Ringwood et al. If the hollandite value for the zero pressure density is used, the zero pressure bulk modulus of this phase is approximately 2.8 ± 0.2 Mb.
