In this work, we explore the structural evolution of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) under detonation-induced shock conditions using in situ synchrotron x-ray diffraction in the ns timescale. We observe the formation of hexagonal diamond (lonsdaleite) at pressures above 50 GPa, in qualitative agreement with recent gas gun experiments. First-principles density functional calculations reveal that under uniaxial compression, the energy barrier for the transition toward hexagonal diamond is lower than that for cubic diamond. Finally, no indication of cubic diamond formation was observed up to >70 GPa.
