Shock Induced Chemistry, Synthesis, Detonation |
Experimental, theoretical, or modeling analysis of chemical changes within a material following exposure to a shock wave. The source of the shock wave may be a detonation, explosion, gun, laser, or any other system capable providing a strong enough shock wave to induce a chemical change within the material. Sample materials are to include energetic and reactive materials, metals, and organic systems. Equation of state studies should include investigations into the reactive EOS regime. |

Structural and spectroscopic techniques used for the study of these high-pressure species will include both in-situ and post-mortem methods such as X-ray and neutron diffraction, vibrational spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, electrical conductivity, and calorimetry. Physicochemical properties of these materials formed at high pressure will be correlated with their high-pressure structures, complemented by the results of computational modelling studies. |
