SHOCK-INDUCED MARTENSITIC-TRANSFORMATION OF HIGHLY ORIENTED GRAPHITE TO DIAMOND

Shock-wave profiles of highly ordered pyrolytic graphite shocked normal to the basal plane of the graphite crystal structure have been measured. For graphite with sufficient orientational order a martensitic transformation to a diamond-like phase is observed with a transition onset pressure 19.6 +/-...

Zusammenfassung:Shock-wave profiles of highly ordered pyrolytic graphite shocked normal to the basal plane of the graphite crystal structure have been measured. For graphite with sufficient orientational order a martensitic transformation to a diamond-like phase is observed with a transition onset pressure 19.6 +/- 0.7 GPa, the stability limit of the graphite structure under shock compression. The minimum overpressure required for the transformation is not more than 6 GPa and the two-wave structure of the transition is overdriven to a single wave above 40 GPa.
