We report on the explosive shock loading of CdS powders pressed to 50% of theoretical density in a copper recovery capsule, to pressures in the copper of about 3, 13, and 20 GPa, and preservation of the samples for post-shock study. No residual structural changes were detected via x-ray diffraction, but large densities (approx. 10/sup 16//cm/sup 3/) of two types of defects were detected using ESR. One defect had an isotropic spectrum, with g = 2.0028, and the other had an axial spectrum with g/sub parallel/ = 1.790 and g/sub perpendicular to/ = 1.775. The axial defect seems to be connected with the wurtzite-rocksalt phase transition in CdS.
