X-ray diffraction studies of laser-shocked crystals

<p>When materials are shock compressed, they undergo changes in microstructure that act to relieve the large shear stresses associated with the compression. The plasticity mechanisms that mediate this transition such as slip and twinning remain poorly understood, especially in the case of poly...
