Adiabatic release measurements in -quartz between 300 and 1200 GPa: Characterization of -quartz as a shock standard in the multimegabar regime
MD Knudson, MP Desjarlais - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and …, 2013 - APS
α-quartz has been used prolifically in recent years as an impedance matching standard in
the multimegabar regime (1 Mbar= 100 GPa). This is due to the fact that above∼ 90–100 …
