Simulations of shock-induced phase transitions in silicon

<p>An understanding of the fundamental mechanism behind the relief of shear stress in single-crystal silicon subject to loading by shock-waves has to this day remained elusive. What is known is that this material undergoes a first-order pressure-induced polymorphic phase transition from its am...
