Stishovite: a comparison of shock compression data with static compression and ultrasonic data

Conference ·
OSTI ID:7344932
The ultrasonic and static compression data for stishovite were transformed to shock and particle velocities and compared with the higher pressure shock compression data for ..cap alpha..-quartz. Using the transformation scheme described in the text, good agreement is found between the shock data and stishovite zero pressure moduli ranging from K/sub 0/ = 300 GPa, K/sub 0/' = 3 to K/sub 0/ = 250 GPa, K/sub 0/' = 6.
