Transformation of shock-compressed graphite to hexagonal diamond in nanoseconds

Journal Article Turneaure, Stefan J. ; Sharma, Surinder M. ; Volz, Travis J. ; ... - Science Advances

The graphite-to-diamond transformation under shock compression has been of broad scientific interest since 1961. The formation of hexagonal diamond (HD) is of particular interest because it is expected to be harder than cubic diamond and due to its use in terrestrial sciences as a marker at meteorite impact sites. However, the formation of diamond having a fully hexagonal structure continues to be questioned and remains unresolved. Using real-time (nanosecond), in situ x-ray diffraction measurements, we show unequivocally that highly oriented pyrolytic graphite, shock-compressed along the c axis to 50 GPa, transforms to highly oriented elastically strained HD with the (100)HDmore »« less

Nanosecond formation of diamond and lonsdaleite by shock compression of graphite

Journal Article Kraus, D. ; Ravasio, A. ; Gauthier, M. ; ... - Nature Communications

The shock-induced transition from graphite to diamond has been of great scientific and technological interest since the discovery of microscopic diamonds in remnants of explosively driven graphite. Furthermore, shock synthesis of diamond and lonsdaleite, a speculative hexagonal carbon polymorph with unique hardness, is expected to happen during violent meteor impacts. Here, we show unprecedented in situ X-ray diffraction measurements of diamond formation on nanosecond timescales by shock compression of pyrolytic as well as polycrystalline graphite to pressures from 19 GPa up to 228 GPa. While we observe the transition to diamond starting at 50 GPa for both pyrolytic and polycrystallinemore »« less

Ultrafast transformation of graphite to diamond: An ab initio molecular dynamics study of graphite under shock compression

Journal Article Mundy, Christopher J ; Curioni, Alessandro ; Kuo, I-F W ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics, 128(18):Art. No. 184701

This work was performed while I was LLNL. We present an extremely large scale ab initio calculation of the transformation of graphite to diamond under shock compression utilizing Car-Parrinello Molecular Dynamics (CPMD) in conjunction with the Multi-scale Shock Method (MSSM). Our results indicate that the transition from graphite to diamond is Martensitic, in agreement with experimental observations. We find that a shock of 12 km/s forms a short-lived layered diamond phase that eventually relaxes to a cubic diamond state. Moreover, access to the electronic structure allows the computation of the x-ray absorption spectra (XAS) to characterize the final states. Themore »« less

Graphite to diamond transformation under shock compression: Role of orientational order

Journal Article Volz, Travis J. ; Gupta, Y. M. - Journal of Applied Physics

To gain insight into the role of orientational order on the shock-induced graphite to diamond phase transformation, three pyrolytic graphite types having different orientational orders were shock-compressed along the average c-axis to peak stresses between 35 and 69 GPa. The materials studied were ZYB-grade highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG), ZYH-grade HOPG, and as-deposited pyrolytic graphite (PG) having mosaic spreads of 0.8° ± 0.2°, 3.5° ± 1.5°, and ~45°, respectively. Wave profiles, obtained using laser interferometry, show a multiple-wave structure with a distinct, rapid (<10 ns) rise to the high-pressure phase for each graphite type. Multiple-wave profiles, first observed in thismore »« less
