Title: Shock-induced defects in HgO

Conference ·
OSTI ID:100315

Powder compacts of HgO have been subjected to shock-loading and preserved for postshock analysis to understand its reactivity and stability under transient temperature-pressure excursions. Recovered samples indicate several solid state reactions which are dependent on shock conditions. Metallic Hg is recovered in small amounts in the HgO compact as well as an as-yet unidentified ferromagnetic impurity not present in the as-received HgO powder. Further, there is evidence of reaction with the Cu capsule, forming an intermetallic alloy.
