Shock waves in polycrystalline iron: Plasticity and phase transitions

At a pressure of around 13 GPa iron undergoes a structural phase transition from the bcc to the hexagonal close-packed phase. Atomistic simulations have provided important insights into this transition. However, while experiments in polycrystals show clear evidence that the α-ε transition is precede...
