Scientific paper

Single crystals of sanidine, orthoclase, microcline, oligoclase, and labdorite, as well as polycrystalline bytownite, were shocked from 10.5 to 45 GPa and recovered. Doubly polished thin sections of the crystals were then optically examined for fracturing, development of planar deformation structures, mosaicism, formation of diaplectic glass, and evidence of shock melting. The effects of the high shock pressures on the lattice parameters were evaluated by high-precision measurements of lattice constants using a Guinier-Jagodzinski powder camera. Transmission infrared spectra of shocked and unshocked feldspar samples were taken, and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra were obtained at room temperature. The samples showed continuous structural changes from the single crystal state to the formation of diaplectic glass. Pressure ranges are given for the lower and upper boundary of the mixed-phase regime of the pV Hugoniot for all samples.
