Title: Shock compression of silver to 300 GPa: Wave profile measurements and melting transition

Abstract

Recent in-situ x-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements on laser-shock compressed Ag foils demonstrated a face-centered-cubic to body-centered-cubic transformation at ~150 GPa and melting between 172 and 197 GPa [Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 235701 (2020)]. As a complement to the XRD work, we conducted plate impact experiments to obtain shock velocity and wave profile measurements on thicker Ag samples shock-compressed to peak stresses between 30 and 300 GPa. The shock velocity–particle velocity results were fitted very well by a linear relation over the entire stress range, providing an accurate determination of the Ag Hugoniot (locus of the stress-volume states achieved under shock compression). For peak stresses below 187 GPa and above 210 GPa—corresponding to the solid and liquid phases, respectively—the wave profiles show clean single waves. No wave profile features related to the fcc-bcc transformation at ~150 GPa were observed, implying minimal volume change for the transformation. For stresses between 187 and 210 GPa, an initial jump was followed by a time-dependent increase in the particle velocity (20–80 ns risetime) to the peak state—corresponding to the solid-liquid mixed phase response. Unlike the solid and liquid response, the mixed-phase response cannot be readily analyzed analytically. Instead, numerical simulations incorporating an accurate multiphase equationmore » of state for Ag—not currently available—are required to analyze the wave profiles measured at 187–210 GPa stresses. Furthermore, the present work shows the potential for using wave profile measurements to examine the melting transition under shock compression.« less
