Abstract
The x-ray diffraction pattern of a shock-compressed material which is in the process of undergoing a crystal structure transformation has been observed for the first time. Pyrolytic BN, explosively shocked to 245 kbar, exhibits a diffraction pattern which indicates that the crystal structure during compression is like that of wurtzite.This publication has 11 references indexed in Scilit:
