Scientific paper

A series of experiments has been done to study the shock compression of Si crystals using a hohlraum x-ray drive on Nova. We have shock compressed Si along the (111) and (400) lattice directions at peak pressures of up to 500 kbar. We observe up to a 10% compression in the lattice spacing. The diffraction from a compressed (400) lattice shows evidence of a 2-wave shock structure. Additional experiments on the Trident laser at LANL and Nova at LLNL are designed to look at the simultaneous diffraction from (400) and (040) lattice planes in order to characterize the transition from elastic to plastic deformation in the crystal lattice. [2] Results from the experiments and simulations of the Bragg diffraction data generated by post-processing hydrodynamics calculations will be presented.
