Laser shock experiments have been performed on quartz, diopside, and olivine in order to study the formation kinetics of shock effects. All three minerals failed in a brittle manner and, additionally, numerous screw dislocations could be activated in olivine. Nevertheless, the most prominent shock effects such as the formation of planar deformation features (PDFs) and the transformations to diaplectic glass or high-pressure polymorphs have not been produced. These results indicate that laser pulses are too short for the production of diagnostic shock effects.
