Title: Shock Induced Birefringence in Lithium Fluoride

Conference ·
OSTI ID:15002087

We have used an ellipsometer to measure the birefringence of lithium fluoride in shock compression experiments. In previous x-ray diffraction experiments, single crystal [100] LiF has been reported to remain cubic at moderate pressures.
