X-Ray diffraction measurements of plasticity in shock-compressed vanadium in the region of 10-70 GPa

We report experiments in which powder-diffraction data were recorded from polycrystalline vanadium foils, shock-compressed to pressures in the range 10 – 70 GPa. Anisotropic strain in the compressed material is inferred from the asymmetry of Debye-Scherrer diffraction images, and used to infer resid...
