The equation of state of carbon at extreme pressures is of interest to studies of planetary ice giants and white dwarfs and to inertial con nement fusion (ICF) because diamond is used as an ablator material at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). Knowledge of both the high-pressure shock and release responses of diamond are needed to accurately model an ICF implosion and design ignition targets. This article presents Hugoniot and release data for both single-crystal diamond and the high-density carbon (HDC), comprised of nanometer-scale grains, used as a NIF ablator. Experiments were performed at the Omega Laser Facility where diamond was shock-compressed to multimegabar pressures and then released into reference materials with known Hugoniots (quartz, polystyrene, silica aerogel, and liquid deuterium). Impedance matching between diamond and the standards provided the data to constrain diamond release models. Hugoniot data were obtained by impedance matching with a quartz standard and results indicate that the HDC, which is ultrananocrystalline and ~4% less dense, has a sti er Hugoniot as compared to single-crystal diamond. Accuracy of the HDC data were improved using a non-steady waves correction [D. E. Fratanduono et al., J. Appl. Phys. 116, 033517 (2014)] to determine shock velocity pro les in the opaque HDC samples.
