Abstract

Explicit relations between index of refraction and density are obtained for shock-compressed fused silica and sapphire. The relations are derived from the Doppler-frequency corrections to velocity-interferometry data obtained by Barker and Hollenbach in plate-impact experiments. The index-density relation for sapphire was found using an expression for the Doppler-frequency shift produced by a window material experiencing shock compression. For fused silica, a numerical calculation was required to compute frequency corrections for the combined ramp/shock waveforms produced in the experiments. In both cases the behavior of the refractive index over the density range of the data was found to be predicted quite accurately by adding a correction term to the Gladstone-Dale relation. A particular power-law dependence on density was found for this correction term in each case. The explicit index-density relations permit detailed calculations to be made for index-of-refraction effects from window materials in plate-impact experiments using velocity interferometry. As an example, refractive-index effects are calculated for a fused silica window experiencing a slowly rising compression wave generated in a glass-ceramic material. The present results also permit the polarizability behavior of these materials under shock compression to be examined.

Laser interferometer measurements of refractive index in shock-compressed materials

Conference Wise, J L ; Chhabildas, L C

Laser interferometer systems provide a means for probing the refractive index of transparent specimens subjected to dynamic compression. Previous interferometer measurements of optical properties under shock loading are reviewed for polymethyl methacrylate, fused silica, sapphire, nitromethane, and an aqueous solution of zinc chloride; various degrees of departure from Gladstone-Dale behavior are noted for these materials. In addition, a detailed summary of recent optical studies of lithium fluoride (LiF) is provided. Interferometer data from plate-impact experiments verify sustained LiF transparency for Hugoniot stresses to at least 115 GPa, and establish the variation of LiF refractive index for shock amplitudes ranging frommore »« less
Determining the refractive index of shocked [100] lithium fluoride to the limit of transmissibility

Journal Article Rigg, P. A., E-mail: prigg@lanl.gov ; Scharff, R. J. ; Hixson, R. S. ; ... - Journal of Applied Physics

Lithium fluoride (LiF) is a common window material used in shock- and ramp-compression experiments because it displays a host of positive attributes in these applications. Most commonly, it is used to maintain stress at an interface and velocimetry techniques are used to record the particle velocity at that interface. In this application, LiF remains transparent to stresses up to 200 GPa. In this stress range, LiF has an elastic-plastic response with a very low (<0.5 GPa) elastic precursor and exhibits no known solid-solid phase transformations. However, because the density dependence of the refractive index of LiF does not follow the Gladstone-Dale relation,more »« less

Refractive index and equation of state of a shock-compressed aqueous solution of zinc chloride

Conference Wise, J L

Velocity interferometers measurements have yielded refractive index and Hugoniot equation-of-state data for a 9.1-molar aqueous solution of zinc chloride which was shock-compressed to initial stresses ranging from 2.2 to 24.1 GPa in a series of plate-impact experiments. The Hugoniot data are accurately described by a linear variation of shock velocity with particle velocity. The optical data verify sustained solution transparency over the investigated range of shock stresses, and provide a calibration of the correction which must be applied to interferometer measurements to account for the stress-induced change in refractive index of the material. Refractive index data derived from the measuredmore »« less
Hugoniot states and optical response of soda lime glass shock compressed to 120 GPa

Journal Article

In contrast to relatively pure silica glass (fused silica-FS), commercial silica-rich glasses contain significant fractions of additional oxide components. In particular, soda-lime glass (SLG) consists of approximately 71% SiO ₂ by weight, which raises the question: what is the effect of additional cations on the shock compression response of silica-rich glasses? To address this concern, plate impact experiments were conducted to determine the high-pressure Hugoniot states for shocked SLG (37 to 120 GPa) and compared with recently reported results on FS. Using laser interferometry, particle velocity profiles were measured at the impact surface and the SLG/LiF window interface. In allmore »« less

Optical velocimetry correction in Fabry--Perot measurements taken through cylindrically expanding shocked fluids with no dispersion

Journal Article Goosman, D R - J. Appl. Phys.; (United States)

A correction is needed in interpreting optical velocity measurements made by reflected frequency versus time measurements through cylindrically expanding air or fluids. The reflected frequency seen by the velocimeter will be higher than it would be in a planar geometry, even if the fluid obeys the Gladstone--Dale model for the index of refraction versus compression. This has been pointed out by Wackerle, Stacy, and Dallman (Proc. Int. Soc. Opt. Eng. 832, 72 (1987)), who develop a general Lagrangian treatment of one-dimensional planar, cylindrical, and spherical geometries. Our work, developed independently, uses a different, very simple, and rigorous treatment for amore »« less
