High pressure Hugoniot of sapphire

Conference ·
OSTI ID:10190578
The Hugoniot of sapphire was measured from 80 GPa to 340 GPa in shock-wave experiments using projectiles accelerated by a two stage gas gun. Transit times of the shock waves were measured either optically with a streak camera or through electrical pin contacts. The Hugoniot in this pressure range fits U{sub s}=8.74+0.96 U{sub p}in km/s.
