Direct observation of the alpha-epsilon transition in shock-compressed iron via nanosecond x-ray diffraction.

In situ x-ray diffraction studies of iron under shock conditions confirm unambiguously a phase change from the bcc (alpha) to hcp (epsilon) structure. Previous identification of this transition in shock-loaded iron has been inferred from the correlation between shock-wave-profile analyses and static...
