Ultra-fast x-ray diffraction studies of the phase transitions and equation of state of scandium shock-compressed to 82 GPa
Using x-ray diffraction at the LCLS x-ray free electron laser, we have determined simultaneously and self-consistently the phase transitions and equation-of-state of the lightest transition metal, scandium, under shock compression. On compression scandium undergoes a structural phase transition betw...
