Molecular dynamics simulations are used to study hypervelocity impacts of an ultrathin flyer plate with a semi-infinite two-dimensional model diatomic molecular solid. The authors show that these hypervelocity impacts can produce a dissociative phase transition from a molecular to a close-packed solid in the target material. It is also shown that hypervelocity impacts of ultrathin plates can produce extensive chemical reactions leading to a detonation accompanied by a phase transition in an energetic version of the model.
