Shock waves in polycrystalline iron: Plasticity and phase transitions
Published 2014“…However, while experiments in polycrystals show clear evidence that the α-ε transition is preceded by plasticity, simulations up to now could not detect any plastic activity occurring before the phase change. Here we study shock waves in polycrystalline Fe using an interatomic potential which incorporates the α-ε transition faithfully. …”

Picosecond X-ray diffraction studies of shocked single crystals - art. no. 62610T
Published 2006“…One area of physics which has benefited particularly from these advances is the the field of shock-waves. Whilst it has been known for many years that crystalline matter, subjected to uniaxial shock compression, can undergo plastic deformation and, for certain materials, polymorphic phase transformations, it has hitherto not been possible to observe the rearrangement of the atoms on the pertinent timescales. …”

Molecular dynamics simulations of shock-induced deformation twinning of a body-centered-cubic metal
Published 2013“…We present here large scale MD simulations of shock compressed bcc metal, using an extended Finnis-Sinclair potential for tantalum, and demonstrate the presence of significant deformation twinning for pressures above the Hugoniot elastic limit for shock waves propagating along the [001] direction. The twinned variants are separately identified by a per atom order parameter, allowing the strain and stress states of the rotated material to be studied. …”

Simulations of shock-induced phase transitions in silicon
Published 2013“…<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 ambient pressure cubic-diamond (<em>cd</em>) crystal structure to its first stable high-pressure phase, known as <em>β</em>-Sn, at a pressure of about 120 kbar under hydrostatic compression. …”

Picosecond X-ray diffraction from laser-shocked copper and iron
Published 2006“…Detailed molecular dynamics calculations provide novel information about the process, and point towards methods whereby the dislocation density might be measured during the passage of the shock wave itself. We also report on recent experiments where we have obtained diffraction images from shock-compressed single-crystal iron. …”
