Equation of state measurements at extreme pressures using laser-driven shocks
The regime of high density and extreme pressure in hydrogen is very difficult to approach theoretically since it is a strongly correlated, partially degenerate composite of molecules, atoms, and electrons. For this reason, a number of theoretical models of the EOS of hydrogen have been proposed. This makes reliable experimental data essential as a guide to theory. We have accessed this regime by shocking liquid D2 to pressures at and above the metallic transition where we measured the thermodynamic properties of the shocked state.
