Title: Ultrafast dynamic response of single-crystal β -HMX (octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazocine)

Abstract

Here, we report experimental and computational studies of shock wave dynamics in single-crystal β-HMX on an ultrafast time scale. Here, a laser-based compression drive (~1 ns in duration; stresses of up to ~40 GPa) is used to propagate shock waves normal to the (110) and (010) lattice planes. Ultrafast time-domain interferometry measurements reveal distinct, time-dependent relationships between the shock wave velocity and particle velocity for each crystal orientation, which suggest evolving physical processes on a sub-nanosecond time scale. To help interpret the experimental data, elastic shock wave response was simulated using a finite-strain model of crystal thermoelasticity. At early propagation times (<500 ps), the model is in agreement with the data, which indicates that the mechanical response is dominated by thermoelastic deformation. The model agreement depends on the inclusion of nonlinear elastic effects in both the spherical and deviatoric stress-strain responses. This is achieved by employing an equation-of-state and a pressure-dependent stiffness tensor, which was computed via atomistic simulation. At later times (>500 ps), the crystal samples exhibit signatures of inelastic deformation, structural phase transformation, or chemical reaction, depending on the direction of wave propagation.

Figure 1 Figure 1: The experimental target assembly for ultrafast laser-driven shocks in $β$-HMX single-crystals. (a) The ablator/crystal assembly, (110) lattice plane, after 30 (< 2 mJ) ultrafast compression measurements. The ablator pads are 125 x 125 x 2 $µ$m and compression waves are launched normal to the ablator/crystal plane. (b) Anmore » ablation field for compression normal to the (110) lattice plane; the ablators were ripped away from the sample during the measurement. (c) An ablation field for compression normal to the (010) plane. Although the same laser energy was used for both orientations (parts (b) and (c)), the (010)-oriented crystals consistently displayed greater levels of damage.« less
