Polymorphic transition of tin under shock wave compression: Experimental results

In this work, the β-bct polymorphic transition in tin is investigated by means of plate impact experiments. The Sn target surface is observed in a partially released state obtained thanks to a transparent lithium fluoride (LiF) anvil. We report both measurements of interface velocity and temperature...
