Development of a New Materials Platform to Study Iron and Diamond at Ultrahigh Pressures Using NIF
- Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Livermore, CA (United States)
The goal of this proposal was to develop the capability to subject solids to ultrahigh compression using ramp loading techniques at NIF. Specifically, we proposed to examine the equation of state, strength, and phase transitions in iron and diamond to 30 Mbar pressures. Diamond and iron are fundamental materials of profound interest in condensed matter physics, materials science, and planetary science. The behavior of these solids under ultrahigh compression is essential to understanding planetary interiors and for probing the limits to our understanding of solid state behavior at extreme conditions.
