In situ, time-resolved, x-ray diffraction and simultaneous continuum measurements were used to examine structural changes in Si shock compressed to 54 GPa. Shock melting was unambiguously established above ~31–33 GPa, through the vanishing of all sharp crystalline diffraction peaks and the emergence of a single broad diffraction ring. Reshock from the melt boundary results in rapid (nanosecond) recrystallization to the hexagonal-close-packed Si phase and further supports melting. Our results also provide new constraints on the high-temperature, high-pressure Si phase diagram.
