High pressure phase transition and strength estimate in polycrystalline alumina during laser-driven shock compression

Alumina (Al2O3) is an important ceramic material notable for its compressive strength and hardness. It represents one of the major oxide components of the Earth's mantle. Static compression experiments have reported evidence for phase transformations from the trigonal α-corundum phase to the or...
