We report an experimental study of the phase diagrams periclase (MgO), enstatite (MgSiO3) and forsterite (Mg2SiO4) at high pressures. investigated with laser driven decaying shocks pressure/temperature curves MgO, MgSiO3 Mg2SiO4 between 0.2-1.2 TPa, 0.12-0.5 TPa 0.2-0.85 respectively. A melting signature has been observed in MgO 0.47 9860 K, while no changes were neither nor Mg2SiO4. An increasing reflectivity liquids have detected 0.55 -12 760 0.15 - 7540 0.2 5800 In contrast to SiO2,...
Ammonia is predicted to be one of the major components in depths ice giant planets Uranus and Neptune. Their dynamics, evolution, interior structure are insufficiently understood models rely imperatively on data for equation state transport properties. Despite its great significance, experimentally accessed region ammonia phase diagram today still very limited pressure temperature. Here we push probed regime unprecedented conditions, up $\ensuremath{\sim}350\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{GPa}$...
Significance Understanding the structural changes silicate melts undergo over pressure–temperature range of Earth’s mantle has been a major, longstanding challenge in geosciences. Experimental studies are extremely difficult due to required temperatures exceeding 4,000 K needed melt silicates megabar pressures. To overcome this issue, laser-driven shock experiments combined with X-ray free-electron lasers were performed provide nanosecond resolution on transformations. By comparison...
Abstract Understanding materials behaviour under extreme thermodynamic conditions is fundamental in many branches of science, including High-Energy-Density physics, fusion research, material and planetary science. Silica (SiO 2 ) primary importance as a key component rocky planets’ mantles. Dynamic compression the most promising approach to explore molten silicates conditions. Although experimental studies are restricted Hugoniot curve, wider range must be reached distill temperature...
Water, ethanol, and ammonia are the key components of mantles Uranus Neptune. To improve structure evolution models give an explanation magnetic fields luminosities icy giants, those need to be characterised at planetary conditions (some Mbar a few $10^3$ K). Those typical Warm Dense Matter regime, which exhibits rich phase diagram, with coexistence many states matter large variety chemical processes. H$_2$O, C:H:O, C:H:N:O mixtures have been compressed up 2.8 along principal Hugoniot using...
Abstract We report in situ structural measurements of shock‐compressed single crystal orthoenstatite up to 337 ± 55 GPa on the Hugoniot, obtained by coupling ultrafast X‐ray diffraction laser‐driven shock compression. Shock compression induces a disordering crystalline structure evidenced appearance diffuse signal at nanosecond timescales 80 13 well below equilibrium melting pressure (>170 GPa). The formation bridgmanite and post‐perovskite have been indirectly reported microsecond‐scale...
Carbonate minerals, for example calcite and magnesite, exist on the planetary surfaces of Earth, Mars, Venus, are subjected to hypervelocity collisions. The physical properties materials at extreme conditions essential understanding their dynamic behaviors collisions mantle structure rocky planets including Super-Earths. Here we report laboratory investigations laser-shocked pressures 200–960 GPa (impact velocities 12–30 km/s faster than escape velocity from Earth) using decay shock...
An ultrafast x-ray powder diffraction setup for laser-driven dynamic compression has been developed at the LULI2000 laser facility. X-ray is performed in reflection geometry from a quasi-monochromatic laser-generated plasma source. In comparison to transmission setup, this configuration allows us probe only small portion of compressed sample, as well shield detectors against x-rays generated by laser–plasma interaction on front side target. Thus, new platform facilitates probing spatially...
Characterizing materials at pressures of several megabars and temperatures a few thousand Kelvin is critical for the understanding Warm Dense Matter regime to improve planetary models as these conditions are typical planets' interiors. The laser-driven shock compression technique capable simultaneously achieving Kelvin, but explored states too hot be representative Double-shock provides an alternative probe lower temperatures. Here, we present method create well-controlled double-shocked...
